League Description: This is a league is designed to introduce new players to the game. The teams will be mostly new players, with each team having a few experienced coaches. We need both new players and experienced ones! The first week of this league will be an Ultimate skills clinic, followed by 3 weeks of short clinics and shortened games. The remainder of the league will be full games. Players will also receive a jersey in the first couple of weeks of league. Until these arrive, please bring a white and a dark jersey each week. Players who register after June 1 are not guaranteed a jersey.

Registration guidelines: Participants may register in any of the following ways: Individual, Pair, or Group. Pairs can be two people of either gender. Groups can be up to 4 people but must have at least as many women as men (i.e. 2 men + 2 women or 1 man + 2 women).

Teams will be formed by league coordinators.

Cost: $40 per player
