The Field Day hat jamboree is a fundraising event to support the Youth Development Fund. Everyone--from seasoned veterans to beginners, young and old--is encouraged to play in this fun event! We will have two divisions of play:

• The Competitors' division will be for experienced players - both adults and high school aged youth.
• The Family and Friends division will be an intergenerational division, with teams made up of youth (minimum 2012/13 grade 3) and adults. In the intergenerational division, games will have youth-only points alternating with adult-only points. Beginners are welcome in this division! Experienced players may sign up for either division.

In addition to the Ultimate games in the morning, we will provide a picnic lunch and carnival/skills games in the afternoon. . .with prizes!

Register by Monday, June 3 to get the most bang for your buck!

The 2013 DiscNW Annual Meeting will take place on June 2 at 6pm following the Spring League A Division finals. The meeting will be in the Matthews room of the Brig at Magnuson Park. More details will be posted shortly.

Seattle summer youth club play in 2013 will consist of two mixed gender leagues: a U19 club league, and a U16 club league. All players wishing to participate in club play this summer should register for and attend tryouts, where coaches will evaluate their skills and determine their placement within the Recreational, Select, or Premier tiers of play. This is the same tryout used to select the players who will make up the three DiscNW U19 teams and one Seattle U16 team (non-DiscNW) that will travel to Blaine, MN to compete in the USA Ultimate Youth Club Championships in August.

U19 tryouts continue this week! Click here to register.

U16 tryouts begin on May 30 and continue through June 4.

Up Dawg is a youth hat tournament put on by the University of Washington women's ultimate frisbee team, Element. Middle school players of all skill and experience levels register as individuals and are placed on a team with other middle school players to be coached by Element players and play 3 or 4 games against other teams. At the end of the day, everyone comes together to celebrate spirited play.
