SPIRIT

As most of you know, Ultimate is founded on the concept of Spirit of the Game. Respect for your opponents, the rules, and the sport is paramount when playing Ultimate. Moreover, participants must consider the ‘Spirit of the Summer League’ as an event that encourages participation of players at all levels and experiences.  The vast majority of people who have enrolled to play during the summer self-identify as relatively new to the sport or at an intermediate level.  All players should remain vigilant to identify and address circumstances (volitional or unintended) that unfairly impact on-field competition, on-field cooperation within teams and balance of playing time.  During the summer session, the those persons who come to the group with ‘elite’ skills and experience should strive to be elite ambassadors and teachers of the game.

The league organizers reserve the right to remove anyone from the league who does not exhibit fair play, integrity, and Spirit of the Game or of the League.

PICKUP POLICY

Unfortunately, players not registered with the league are not allowed to play. This is because of USA Ultimate sanctioning guidelines and because of insurance requirements.

GENDER RATIO

Before knowing how many women are assigned per team, it is difficult to have a set gender ratio. Captains are encouraged to coordinate with one another at the time of the game to balance play for both teams and genders.

POINT CAP

All games are played to 15 with a mirror half at 8. If neither team reaches 15 points, the game is over after one hour. Team captains should agree to a hard or soft cap to the game if loss of daylight becomes a factor.

GAME TIMES

Games start promptly at the appointed time each week. Please arrive early.

TIME OUTS

One per half and one floater per team. Please use them sparingly as our field time is limited.

INCLEMENT WEATHER

If there is inclement weather during the day and games are cancelled, the league will attempt to place a timely notice on the website and issue a notification.
