Description:

Update: The high school and middle school girls divisions were canceled due to limited interest.  The middle school boys division has been changed to an "open" division, so mixed teams may play against the boys teams if desired.  Although registration is closed, there may be space in the tournament for more teams.  Please contact Wynne Scherf at [Enable javascript to see email] if you would like to register late.


The Green Games will take place at Vassault Park in Tacoma on May 23.   There are three divisions:

  • Middle school girls
  • Middle school boys
  • High school open (novice/intermediate teams)--girls are encouraged to participate in this open division, but there is no strict gender ratio

This tournament is exciting because it is DiscNW's first single-gender middle school tournament AND our first tournament in the swiftly-developing Tacoma youth Ultimate scene.

Though the tournament is designed for school-based teams, we recognize both that it can be difficult for new or intermediate high school teams to put together a full team for a tournament, and that pulling together a single-gender middle school team can also be a challenge.  For that reason, there is some flexibility to the "one school" team rule for this tournament.  We are primarily interested in growing the sport in this new city and this new division of play.  Thus, teams made up of players from more than one school will be permitted.  That being said, to maintain the integrity of competition, please limit the number of schools represented on one team (no all-star teams, please).

Registration is now closed.

The registration fee is $115 per team.  We will schedule three games for each team, with one bye during the day.
