Spring League

February 22nd, 2010 | Posted by Pat in Featured | League News and Information - (2 Comments)

Registration is open!  Games will be played on Sundays from 3:00 to 5:00, beginning on 4/4 and running to 5/16.  We will also have two double headers, which will play from 5:00 to 7:00 — a nearly full day of ulty fun!   Finals tournament will be on 5/23 (sun) from 10AM to 4PM.

We will plan to have six teams, but will shoot for eight teams!   What will keep it from happening?? WOMEN!  We need more women to register.  If we get more women, we can have more teams — it is that simple.  So if you know a woman who is interested in a fun, active sport with great people on the nicest fields in Delaware, bring them out to the hat tournament to check it out!  Plus, to encourage women, all women who are brand new to the sport will have their spring league registration waived.  So go out there, tell you female friends that they can try out ultimate for free, plus they will still get the league disc to take with them!
Also new for 2010:
*  New discs!  Thanks to Matt Jones for the design, and we are working to get these printed out.
*  Awards!  This year we will have prizes for the winning team, and spirit awards!
*  New website!  Thanks to Pat Walters for always doing such an awesome job with the website.
Can’t wait for spring to begin!!!!

CANCELLED: Second Annual Spring Thaw Delaware Hat Tournament!

February 6th, 2010 | Posted by Pat in League News and Information - (3 Comments)

To celebrate the thawing of the fields, and dusting off of our cleats, we’ll have a hat tournament!  All are welcome — you do not have to be registered for any league, or even be a part of Delaware Ultimate to participate.  It is a great way to introduce a friend to the sport.

When: Sunday, March 14th, 9:30 AM.  Arrive early so we can get the teams selected and games can start timely.  We will try and fit three rounds in so we can have one definitive winner.
Where: By the Can-Do playground at the Alapocas Run state park.  Yes, these are the great fields where we play league.
How Much: $5 gets you up to three games, plus a bit of food and fun.  Overage, if there is any, will go to support Delaware Ultimate.

There is no preregistration for the Spring Thaw Hat Tourney — just show up with $5 in hand and a will to play hard.

Fall League Registration

August 18th, 2009 | Posted by Pat in League News and Information - (0 Comments)

Fall League registration will be open until Friday (8/21), so register now.

Ultimate players!

Wait list for fall league begins on Saturday, and there is no guarantee you will get on a team if you sign up after Friday, so register today!

Also, we are in need of women.  You know how much fun league is, and you know we are friendly to new players — invite women!  Sisters, daughters, the coworker down the hall you’d like to know better — let them know about ultimate and how much fun it is!  You are the best ambassador for the sport, and we need your help.

Top five ways to get your female friends to join ultimate fall league:
5)  You want to exercise, but hate treadmills?  You’ll run tons playing ultimate and won’t even realize it.
4)  Spirit of the Game!  We are not competitive, we don’t have refs, we are non-contact, and we self-regulate.
3)  Ultimate is such an easy sport for a new player to take up and enjoy…no prior experience necessary.  Just show up, and people will teach you.  Plus, there’s a pickup game nearly every day of the week to check out the sport and see what you think.
2)  Low commitment!  Once/week games + tournament is a lot of play for just $27 (including PADA membership).  Plus, you get a party at the end of the season and an official Delaware Ultimate frisbee.
1)   Great way to meet folks — we are not a social club, but we are social.  Especially great way to meet guys, and other like minded, fun spirited folks!
