Schedule - July 3
Posted by Joel on July 1, 2019
There was a typo in the schedule I posted for July 3rd which has now been corrected. Please follow the schedule to the left for July 3rd.
Also, I had intended to switch time slots in the second round so that teams that played in the early slot during the first round will generally play in the late slot in this round and vice versa. Unfortunately, when doing the initial schedule I only did this for 2 of the 4 tiers. I will leave the games for July 3rd as is given the games are so close, but I will be reposting the schedule for July 10 - Aug. 7 so that all teams play in the opposite time slot from last round. Sorry for the confusion.

Ultimate Clinics
June 23 / July 27
Posted by Joel on May 23, 2019
North 49 Throwing Coach and Ultimate Experience will be running two throwing clinics this summer! The first will be June 23rd and the second will be July 27th.
They are offering three different clinics both days; basics, advanced and hucking. Each will be 25 dollars but if you mention you are a member of KUL it will only run you 20 dollars.
All three will feature small groups and lots of personalized tips to help with form, improve throwing accuracy, and hopefully help reduce strain and end with personal video analysis of your throws.
If you're interested check out the first (June 23rd) event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/2257631637788374/?ti=as
And the second (July 27th) here: https://www.facebook.com/events/2149385131825387/?ti=as
Or you can go straight to Ultimate Experience's website to sign up.

Youth / Junior Registration Extended
Posted by Joel on May 6, 2019
Registration for all of our youth and junior programs are extended until the end of the season. We're excited to offer two extra youth/junior leagues this year and below you'll find a brief description of each league being offered.
Our process has changed this year and to register you must first create a league account at https://league.kingstonulti.ca/
Once you have an account all of the leagues that you are eligible for (based on age and gender) will show up in your Dashboard and you can then click on the link to register. For anyone under the age of 18 you will need to have your parent/guardian create an account and they will then be able to create a profile for you and register you for the youth/junior leagues.
Mini League May 20 – July 8, 2019 (8 weeks)
Ages 4-7
Mondays 6:30-7:30pm
Caton's Fields
Cost: $40 per player (includes insurance, jersey, disc, and snacks)
Mini League is an introduction to ultimate and general sport movement. Every practice is split between 30 minutes of ultimate and 30 minutes of another sport (rugby, soccer, baseball, and movement games). Children will learn how to throw, run, and catch, and embrace the spirit of the game. We are looking to cap this at 20 athletes so that our athletes can have lots of individual attention from our 4 fantastic coaches.

Ages 8-14
Tuesdays 5:30-6:30pm
Caton's Fields

Athletes aged 8-14 will learn to throw, handle, cut, bid, and play great defense with instruction from the Head Coach and players of the Queen's Men's and Women's Ultimate team (National Champions 2015, 2016, 2018) and members of Kingston's competitive touring team, Local 613 (3rd in Canada 2014 & 2016, 4th at PanAms 2015). With a big emphasis on embracing the spirit of the game, each session features 40 minutes of learning and 20 minutes of play, as well as a snack. Each athlete will receive a t-shirt and disc to take home. Please register by April 26th to ensure that your child’s shirt will be ready for the first session.
Parents/Guardians and kids are welcome to stay afterwards to watch the practices of Local 613. This is the league's fourth year and we are looking to expand on the success of last year. We are looking to work with children across all skill levels and abilities. Everyone is welcome.
