Women's Ultimate Survey

A message from Without Limits Ultimate about Women's Ultimate:

Key ultimate league contacts,

First off - sorry for the mass email, we're trying to quickly spread the word to as many people as possible! My name is Meagan Brown, I'm an intern with Without Limits Ultimate. If you haven't heard of Without Limits, we are a great grassroots organization dedicated to building the women's ultimate community. You can check us out here - http://withoutlimitsultimate.com/ This summer, Without Limits is conducting a survey about women's ultimate and what we as a community can be doing to get more women playing. A report of the results will be shared later this summer, and the information will also be used to inform future Without Limits activities. We've got some VC gear to give away for survey respondents and the 15 minute survey is completely confidential.

The response so far has been amazing, we've received over 1,200 responses from women across the world!!!! If you already shared the survey, thank you for helping make this such a success already! Although we've gotten a ton of great feedback, we would like to hear from more women who play recreational league and pick-up on a regular basis.

This is where we need your help - Could you please distribute the survey link through your website, listserv(s), and/or social media platforms? I've included a brief post you are welcome to use/edit at the end of the email, but the link for the survey is here - https://unc.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_39nazXLwMxtFDNP

I recognize this is incredibly last minute, but we are hoping to catch people this week, ideally before they head off for the holiday (if they haven't already). if you have any questions, please feel free to email me at megcbrown@gmail.com. 

Thank you so much in advance, and have a great 4th of July!

Summer League News!!!

Tomorrow starts an exciting season of Summer League!  This will be the biggest we've ever had with 12 teams!

You brainstormed, you voted.  The theme for the season is "Star Wars!"  We've already seen some of our players' artwork on our Facebook page.  We are sure to have some awesome jerseys yet again!

Also, this season we're going to experiment with using the new Ultitrax tool.  This tool was made by Scott Blakenburg, an ultimate player who created this tool to give back to the sport.  We've integrated it into our website to help keep track of schedules and rankings.  There are many other promising features that we have yet to try.  Let us know what you think of it.
