Congratulations Hucktoberfest, Spring League 2013 Champions!

Tuesday's third seed, Hucktoberfest, took on the Thursday top seed, Pardi Gras, in finals. Pardi Gras's height advantage couldn't stop the quickness and consistency Jason Chen and Erin Donahue's HUcktoberfest squad.

Phoenix/Flagstaff Mixed Ultimate Team

The leadership of the new Phoenix/Flagstaff Mixed Ultimate team (So new we don't even have a name yet) would like to invite any interested / willing player out to a couple of 'club style' practices during the month of May. These open-to-all practices will be a couple hours long, and will be packed full of fun Ultimate things such as plyometrics, conditioning, drills, more drills, and depending on attendance, possibly some scrimmage time.

If you're a club player that's ready to get your head back in the mentality of serious practices and competitive play, you should come out. If you've never played on a club team before but are interested in seeing what Ultimate is like outside of pick-up and league, you should come out. If you're planning on trying out for one of the Phoenix club teams in a few weeks and want a glimpse of things you might expect at the tryouts, you should come out.

We currently have two dates scheduled for these open practices:

• Practice 1:
  Date: Saturday, May 18th
  Time: 8:00am - 11:00am
  Location: Esteban Park
• Practice 2:
  Date: Saturday, May 25th
  Time: 8:00am - 11:00am
  Location: Esteban Park

If you can make it, please be cleated up and ready to jog by 8:00am, sharp! Bring a white and a dark shirt, bring plenty of water and bring a fun but still competitive attitude. All the members of the ultimate community are invited to attend.
