Merrimack Valley Ultimate – Season 42 of Tuesday Evening Pickup
MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
We picked Saturday June 29th for our “Frizzbee & Friends” beach party at our pond.
It is conveniently 1 week after Pete’s beer brewing event produces results.
We brew! We bottle! We taste! We zip! We Poleish Horseshoe! We drink a lot more! We get wet! We eat! We make music!
Mark your calendars!
Sunny, dry, and not hot when the discs fly.
See you Tuesday May 14th at 6:00 at the Tewksbury field.
More fantastic weather this week. It’s water bottle season!
Note, there were no bugs last week!
See you Tuesday May 7th at the Tewksbury field at 6:00.
Back to great weather and I can’t wait to play! But, I will wait. It’s just 1 day.
See you Tuesday April 30th at the Tewksbury field at 6:00.
No game today!!
I know it’s just a little mist. And, the temperature is above freezing. But, it is the “feels like” hovering around freezing that has pushed the needle down below the acceptable level. I hope none of you penguins are disappointed. See you Tuesday the 30th.
We’ve had 2 great Tuesday evenings. This next one is BGW seasonal.
Dress for cool and drizzle and watch the radar and/or website.
See you in Tewksbury on Tuesday, April 23rd at 6:00.
The rain cloud is overhead right now and doing its thing. The tail end will be passing by the field at just about 6:00. It is still warm (OK, it’s not cold). It looks like we can get some play in!
See you at the field at 6:00.
Forecast: 65 degrees, rain moving in late in the day, 100% chance of waiver signing.
The field is in great shape. The weather should be great, but, watch to see if the rain arrives early.
I’ll be collecting the $10 yearly fee which goes to USA ULTIMATE who sanctions us and provides the required liability insurance which we need to use the field.
See you Tuesday, April 16th at 6:00
We will need to go easy on the field. It may be wet and the grass may still be dormant. But, with a forecast high of 71 degrees, let our 31st season begin!
See you at 6:00 at the Tewksbury field unless it is raining.
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!
