As promised, we’re having a spring league this year. We’ve gotten the fields issues worked out, so we’re ready to get going. We’ll be playing at the fields between Amherst HS/MS (where we play pickup) on Saturdays from 12-3. The league will run from April 12th to May 31st (provided the fields are in okay shape). The cost is $45.00, which covers field costs and insurance. The goal is to have doubleheaders for every team every week.
Registration is now open and will close on April 8th at 11:59 pm. We’re trying a new site to hopefully make registration easier. Please go to http://scorereport.net/ultimate/BUL_Spring to register. There are instructions there. You must pay online.
As with previous Buffalo Ultimate leagues, we are a UPA sanctioned league, which means you’ll also need to fill out a waiver to play. Those players under the age of 18 are welcome; you’ll also need to have a medical authorization filled out by your parents/guardians. If you have signed up for an account on the registration site (which you’ll need to do to pay online), once you fill out your registration the waivers will be automatically filled in and available as PDF files. All you have to do is print them off, sign them, and bring them to league. Please be honest when ranking your ultimate ability. We suggest using players in the Western NY area as your reference. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
We’re going to try a few new things this year. During the first half of the season, we’ll be having a player’s clinic (date to be announced). The clinic will be run by a few of the veteran players in the area to help anyone who is interested in learning a few pointers about the game. We will spend some time working on throwing, as well as going over the basics of the game. If you’ve never played before or played a lot, you are welcome.
Another new addition to the league is the ability to select another player as your “pair.” If the selection is reciprocated, we’ll make every effort to put you on the same team. While Ultimate players are a friendly bunch, we understand starting a new sport might be intimidating. So you’re welcome (but it isn’t required) to list a familiar face, just be sure they list you as well.
There will be no late registration.
Please feel free to contact Mike if you have any questions.
