Hey Spring Leaguers!

The final tournament is upon us. It will take place this Saturday, starting at 11:00 AM at Tom Brown Park. The tournament bracket is posted at http://tallahasseeultimate.com/spring11.html.
We will be following normal league rules with one exception: all consolation games will be capped at 75 minutes instead of 90 minutes.

Remember to bring cleats or running shoes and plenty of water. We will have some water and gatorade on site as well. Depending on financial resources we will also provide fruit and possibly pizza for those who stick around to watch the championship game!

Thanks for a great season, and lets have a great tournament on Saturday! May the most mythical creature win!

College Regionals in Tallahassee! Volunteers Needed!

2011-03-29T14:27:00.001-04:00

A message from Ona and Cheese (FSU Ultimate Clubs):

USA Ultimate has become convinced that FSU and Tallahassee has some of the best fields in the region for Ultimate Frisbee, as well as some of the best community of Ultimate in the region. We have won the bid to host both Women's and Men's College Regionals at the FSU SportsPlex (RecPlex) April 30th-May1st, and that means, we need volunteers!! We had lots of great volunteers for Tally Classic, and we need you to come out in equal force for Regionals. We will need people the days of the event, and the Friday prior to ensure this event goes smoothly.

In addition to getting to watch some great ultimate, you will receive at least edible reimbursement, and maybe more depending on your level of participation.

Please email Ona Strikas, ostrikas@gmail.com, if you are interested in volunteering with "Regionals" in the title of the email.

If you have any questions, contact Ona Strikas, ostrikas@gmail.com (Women's TD), or Ben Stringer, dufcheese@gmail.com.

Thanks Tally!

Proceeds will go to support youth ultimate in Tallahassee.

Cost if you pre-register is $25 for adults and $20 for youth (under 18). Day-of cost is $30 for adults and $25 for youth. T-shirt is included in registration; discs will be for sale at the event for $10.

We are planning for a big event with food, prizes, and overall a lot of fun, so even if you don't plan to play, we would still love to have you come out to watch and enjoy the festivities! Please help us spread the word by sending out this info to your friends, especially to young players (or potential players). This could be a great introduction for someone new to the sport, and we want ultimate in Tallahassee to grow!

League Updates

2011-01-10T23:44:00.004-05:00

Hey everyone,

Spring League is just around the corner! Thanks for all of your captain nominations and theme ideas.

We are pleased to announce that this season's captains will be Luke DeGroote, Daniel Hooker, Paul Guyas, Jay Quigley, Josh Boyd, and Anthony Perez. In the case that we have 8 teams instead of 6 we'll ask for more volunteers.

We've narrowed your theme ideas down to a few choices. Please go to http://www.tallahasseeultimate.com/voting.html. We'll close the ballot this Friday, announce the winner, and ask for your jersey design submissions.

There will be a few new changes in format that we'll be experimenting with this season. In order to make spirit more of a priority, we'll be emphasizing it more by having it weigh more in the team rankings throughout the season.

Looking forward to January 23rd.

League Fees

2010-12-25T23:26:00.003-05:00

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!

2010-12-24T20:24:00.004-05:00

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.

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.

Message for YOUTH League (Starting Tonight!)

2010-06-17T14:42:00.003-04:00

Dear Youth Ultimate,

Thanks to everyone for putting up with the aches and pains of a new league. We are very excited for everyone being a part of Tallahassee's first youth season.

Consider this your welcome packet.

We are starting tomorrow June 17th 6:30 @ LEON high school.

You will need to bring clothes to run in (shorts, sunscreen, hat, and cleats if you have them). You will also need to bring a dark colored and a white shirt so that we can distinguish teams till we get our shirts in. Your parents will also be very helpful as they will be required to sign insurance and waiver information. (Please print and bring them filled out).

We currently have 27 signed up, so bringing a friend will also help us get to our goal of 40 so we can have 4 teams. Also at the request of several coaches, after Thursday we will most likely be moving league to Monday nights at the Rec Plex. this will allow us better fields, and better coaches.

You also might have a chance to scrummage against a top notch open men's teams at the end of the season.

As part of your $20 dues, you will be provided a disk, a shirt, 6 weeks of USA certified coaching, and tons of memories.

We will structure each practice to work on a particular aspect of the game. Spend some time role playing some common rule violations and also spend a lot of time having fun scrimmaging against each other. If everything is successful than we will continue to grow and, some of you will be competing in the first annual "High school state championships" in November in Orlando.

Volunteers Needed!

Hey Tallahassee Ultimate Players!

DUF, the FSU men's ultimate team, is hosting college open regionals this weekend! We are looking for some volunteers to help make things work.

Please respond with what you can do and when you can do it (time and day(s)). We'd like to get people to at least work half day shifts (9-1 or 1-6), but if you can work the whole day, great!
If you don't care what you do, just let me know what time/day(s) you are available, and you'll be assigned something. More flexibility = easier organizing :-)

Here is the list of volunteer jobs we need covered:

Walking TD
Sitting TD (please only volunteer for TD if you've have some experience w/ tournaments)
Scorekeepers
Food Helper
Merchants
1 Runner (with Vehicle)
Morning set up (3-5 people)

Hours are 9-6 Saturday and 8-5 Sunday.
Setup is 8-9:30 on Saturday, and 7-8:30 on Sunday.

Reply to tallahasseeultimate@gmail.com with what you can do.

THANK YOU!!

League Updates

2010-03-23T15:55:00.003-04:00

Hey everyone,
I'm having trouble updating the website. I think it's because the web host is doing some upgrades that's supposed to take a few days. Just wanted to keep you posted on some new information:

1. REMINDER:
There will be NO GAMES THIS SUNDAY (3/28) since alot of players will be out of town for a club tournament.
We will resume on 4/4, which will be the last regular league game before the end of season playoffs on 4/11.

2. End of Season Party:
5:30pm at the MLC Community Center (map) on Saturday April 10.
The party will run concurrently with the April Fool's Juggling Festival so there will be plenty of entertainment (Saturday night is the fire party!!). There is also a large field for throwing that pretty plastic thing around. =)
BBQ! We'll provide the meat and ask that you chip in $2 to help buy drinks, sides, desserts, etc.
Too far to drive? We can setup a carpool meetup at Tom Brown Park if you need to. Email us at tallahasseeultimate@gmail.com if you want to do that.
Free camping if you want to fall asleep under the stars.

3. Last week's results:
The Clash defeated Beastie Boys (8 - 7)
Journey forfeited to Spinal Tap
Prince defeated Guns N Roses (13 - 6)

Current Standings:
1T Prince
1T Spinal Tap
3 The Clash
4T Beastie Boys
4T Guns N Roses
6 Journey

4. SUMMER LEAGUE 2010
Planning is in the works. We're just waiting on a confirmation on field reservations and some other odds and ends. Tentatively schedule for Tuesday nights from May 25 - August 1. If you have an idea for a theme, email it to tallahasseeultimate@gmail.com

Dear Tallahassee Ultimate Enthusiasts,

Help us help you! Volunteer jobs will include scorekeeping, retail, food prep, security, runner, and supervisor. We need both full and half day volunteers, food will be provided as well as a disc or shirt for full day volunteers. If you are interested, please email your specific availability.

Discussion Forum Operational!

2010-02-25T10:51:00.003-05:00

Hey everybody,

I had to work out some kinks but the new discussion board on the website is finally up and working. Click on "Forum" in the navigation bar above or click this link.

You can post messages without registering but they won't show up until an admin approves it. If you register you won't have that problem.

This is my first time creating one of these so let me know what you think or if something isn't working.

Enjoy!
Wendy
