Spring Season is wrapping up!

The Varsity teams start conference playoffs this week.

The Girls are ranked first in the Northwest Metro Conference and will play Benilde St. Margaret on Tuesday. If they win, they will advance to the Conference Finals next Tuesday.

The Boys are ranked second in the Lake Conference and will play Minnetonka on Thursday. If they win, they will likely meet Edina in the Conference Finals next Thursday.

Both the Mixed and Open MSL teams will be wrapping up their seasons this weekend back in Blaine at the MSL State Tournament. The schedule is not likely to be released until Thursday, but plan on multiple games both Saturday and Sunday for both teams.

Please mark your calendars for our end-of-year Banquet on Wednesday, May 29th at 6PM in the North Middle School Cafeteria. Families typically bring their own dinner to eat and we provide dessert as we reflect and celebrate the season.

Thanks to everyone who coordinated, volunteered, baked/bought sweet treats, and cheered on our teams at Hustle this weekend! It was a great weekend! Congrats to the MSL Open Team for their first place finish and for the Girls Varsity team for their 2nd Place finish. We are still awaiting the final numbers but we are hoping the event will raise at least $5K for the program! This money helps us keep our program costs as reasonable as possible.

There are a number of opportunities to play Ultimate over the summer.

Minnesota Ultimate's Summer League offers a 7v7 mixed hat draw competition structure for players who would like to continue to play ultimate during the summer, but do not wish to commit to a full Superior Youth Club season. Summer League is one night per week, and is an excellent space to both improve as a player and make friends with peers in the ultimate community. 

Minnesota Superior YCC offers a competitive summer youth club experience. Superior gives athletes the opportunity to play alongside the best youth players in the state, and compete against both youth and adult club teams nationally. For players who are passionate about ultimate, Superior is the best way to experience the game at the next level.

The Loppet Foundation offers a range of classes at various locations around the Twin Cities throughout the summer. You can find more information here.

You may receive schedule notification emails from MNU since players are registered through both our site and MNU. Reach out to hurtultimate@gmail.com if you notice a potential conflict between our site and MNU so we can address it if needed.

Our new hosting platform, Crossbar, has many useful features including calendar subscription and the ability to associate additional users (players or other family members) with your account. You can find a summary of useful resources for both the website and app here.

We will be managing email communication through crossbar with individual team parents communicating specific team information through GroupMe. By default, only the parent account who registered a player will be sent emails. If you would like to add other accounts to receive emails, follow the instructions here to link accounts.

Are you considering playing Ultimate? Here are some reasons to sign up:

• Build Endurance: Ultimate combines the athletic endurance of soccer with the passing skills of football.
• Learn Sportsmanship: There are no referee's in Ultimate. Players learn to call their own penalties and work out any differences by communication on the field.
• Low Contact Sport: Players are not allowed to pull, push, or tackle other players. The sport is more about finesse!
• Anyone Can Play: All players encourage and help other players so even the first-time player will be comfortable on the field!
• It's Just Fun! There is a reason why it's one of the fastest growing sports in the country.
