Tallahassee Ultimate NEWS!

Dear Tallahassee Ultimate Members-

We are halfway through our fall season of league, and things are going great!  We hope the new folks are getting the hang of ultimate.  If you want some extra time to work on skills, email us or your captain, and we can figure something out--meet early before league with a group or something.

We want to keep you all updated on the big picture of Tallahassee Ultimate.  We are working to make a name for our organization--things like marketing, sponsorship, and partners in the community.  One of our main goals is to build up youth ultimate.   Getting kids involved in the sport is essential for the overall growth of ultimate.  Kids learning the sport younger leads to stronger leagues and stronger club and college teams.  We'll keep everyone updated as things progress, but our plan is to get some youth clinics going in the new year.  If this is something you want to be involved in, send us an email.  

Our other initiatives right now are creating a logo and some marketing materials for Tallahassee Ultimate.  Julia Holly and some other league members are working with the board to make this happen.  We want to be a recognized organization in the community (think Gulf Winds Track Club or Tallahassee Rollergirls--even if you aren't a part of these groups, you've heard of them, or seen their shirts or stickers).  

Thanks for being a part of it all!

Officer Nominations for 2012-2013

Dear Tallahassee Ultimate Community,
There are some important events coming up!
League Board Nominations/Elections

It is time again for our annual election of officers. Get your nominations to us by the end of August and we will have elections soon after. Four positions are open, so if you are interested in volunteering for league, throw your hat in the ring and tell us why you want to be on the board. You CAN nominate yourself (in fact, that's great because then we know you actually want to do it). Email your statement to us at tallahasseeultimate@gmail.com. Your statement can include ultimate and leadership experiences, generally why you want to be on the board, and what you want to see happen in the greater TU community. A short paragraph is plenty. We will have an online election, so your statement will be posted for everyone to see. More info about board roles below.

FSUltimate hosts 12 Days of Ultimate to kick off the school year. For dates and times, check out the facebook event here: https://www.facebook.com/#!/events/265093530261498/

===============BOARD ROLES=================



The Tallahassee Ultimate board has 5 members:
Chair
Co-Chair
Secretary
Treasurer
Captains' Liaison*

*Captains' Liaison is not voted on by the community (so don't nominate yourself or anyone else for it), but it is chosen by the rest of the board/captains once captains for the season are selected.

**Board members (except captains' liaison) CANNOT be captains or co-captains.

Most of what we do for league is a group effort, but here is a breakdown of board responsibilities:

ALL Board Members: Determine schedule for league, set league policies, communicate with captains and league members, help set up for regular games, be available to captains and members at games, organize kickoff and finals, facilitate any clinics or social events throughout season.

Chair: Work with City Parks and Rec for field reservations (or anyone else we may rent from)
Vice Chair: liaise with USA Ultimate for sanctioning/insurance
Secretary: manage website, including online voting, registration, and league schedule
Treasurer: manage league funds, collect dues, keep board in the loop on money issues
