I’m ahead of Dave this year! I’ve got our insurance liability binder. We are sanctioned by USA Ultimate. And, we have the “go ahead” for the field. To top it off, I negotiated with the gods and secured the low tide days right where we need them.. on every other Tuesday! It’s our best alignment in a decade.
I put a start date of April 16 on our schedule. If someone can check the field for viability, we could start earlier. We do not want to tear up the field by playing before the grass wakes up from winter.
A new aspect to our game this year, comes from our sanctioning with the USA Ultimate. Due to the media hype over brain injuries in sports involving running, we are required to wear helmets during play. USA Ultimate approves a line of ultimate helmets made by Bauer and they resemble hockey helmets. You can get them with or without a facemask. The facemask makes you look more intimidating. On the 16th, a representative will be at the field for fittings. They are bragging about the good fit they achieve because they use a big ball shaped device they place over your head. It has 16 screws which screw in towards your head to determine you unique head shape. Pretty impressive! Check it out here.
See you all in a few weeks!
