Hey Everyone-
As you may have noticed if you have registered, we have increased fees by $3 this season. A general explanation is below, but if you're curious about more details, feel free to shoot us an email.
Your league fees cover a few basic expenses:
Fields (rented from Tallahassee Parks and Rec)
USA Ultimate insurance
Discs
Jerseys
Miscellaneous admin expenses (e.g. copies, postage)
Equipment (e.g. cones, water coolers)
League parties (we try to keep this expense low)
Rebates for new female players
Fall is our most expensive season, since we order discs for the whole year, so in the fall, our budget is tight, then we have some extra from spring and summer to start the cycle again. Most of our costs have stayed constant (or changed just a little) for the last couple of years, but we have tried a few different companies for t-shirts/jerseys, which is one reason for the increase. We are using the same company we used for fall, but in order to stay balanced, and put a little extra away, fees are going up by $3. The number of teams we have also affects the field budget, so we have a to make a guess about that and we're staying on the conservative side.
On a similar note, we are looking for a volunteer or two that is interested in helping us with fund raising and sponsorships. As most of you know, we partnered with Tijuana Flats last season and they gave us 10% of their sales from TU players on Sundays. We'd like to continue this sort of thing and reach out to other local businesses for support. If this is something that you are good at, let us know!
We hope to see you all January 23rd!

Spring League Registration Now Open!
Hello Ultimate Players of Tally,
We hope you had a happy holiday and are ready to come back for more ultimate! We are happy to announce that registration for Spring League is now open. Visit the Spring League page to register and find out more details.
As you all know, every season we have a new theme that inspires the jersey design and team names. If you have an idea, let us know!
Also, we will be filling a couple of captain spots for spring league. Captains are chosen by the board, based on nominations from league members. Self nominations are allowed. If you are nominating yourself, please include a brief statement about your experience playing ultimate, why you want to be a captain, and what spirit of the game means to you. Captains are not necessarily the best players. They are the ones that know the rules, can teach the game, and exemplify spirit of the game. Captains communicate with their teams throughout the season. We look forward to your nominations!
Please submit your captains nominations and ideas for themes via email, or post it on the facebook group wall. We will pare down the options and have a vote.

Thanks for playing fall league!
Hello Everyone-
Congrats to all players for a great fall league and to "The Fifth Element" (aka Orange) and "Boss Hogs on Swoll" for wins in their respective divisions.
If you were new this season, we hope that you now LOVE ultimate. If you're a TU veteran, thanks for your continued support and participation. That said, we want ultimate in Tallahassee to keep getting better and better. Please send us your suggestions and feedback from fall league. What did you like? What can we do better? How do we keep league fun for both new and experienced players? We are starting to plan for spring league, and we want your input.
Spring League will start sometime around late Janurary (exact date to be determined). Keep an eye on your email, TU website, and facebook page in the next month or so for registration. Also, if you've lost something, check out this page http://picasaweb.google.com/tallahasseeultimate/LostAndFound?feat=directlink# and contact Wendy or JaSun.
In the meantime, the FSU Ultimate teams are hosting "Five Days of Pickup" at the Main Campus Fields everyday this week during exams. Bring a white and a dark. Please be aware that non-FSU students may not be permitted to play.
Hope you all enjoy your holidays!
