Paperwork Due Date! Housing, Dinner Update! NUTC! New Youth Club Summer Tournament!

Today’s the paperwork due date! How’s your team’s paperwork going? We will be looking over everyone’s paperwork status in our systems this coming Monday. As long as you are already deep in the process, you’re all set. If you’re not far down the paperwork road… get on it. Now. Please. Background checks can take a while!

The dinner, housing, and rostering form has been temporarily reopened. If your team has yet to fill out this form, please fill it out by May 1st at the latest. At this point housing is not guaranteed, but dinner tickets are as long as you complete the form by May 1st.

And now a message from Tiina Booth:

Dear PVI Teams,

Greetings from the National Ultimate Training Camp! I usually visit teams at the PVI every year, dropping off a NUTC disc and stickers and chatting with players about our camp.


However, this year we may be sold out by the PVI. We are already 50% full, with campers from 13 different states plus Canada. Registration has only been open for 3 weeks. If you have players who love our sport, our camp will be perfect for them!


These are our July sessions:
Session A July 2-7
Session B July 9-14
Session C July 16-21


More info at www.NUTC.net


Scholarships are available. If you have any questions, please email us at NUTC.information@gmail.

John Rice from BUDA in Boston has a message to share:

I’m writing to let you know about a youth club tournament coming this summer in Amherst Massachusetts co-hosted by Valley Ultimate and BUDA that I’d love to invite your team(s) to attend.

We will be having the first “Northeastern’s” on July 22nd and 23rd in Granby Massachusetts (next door to Amherst & Northampton). 

The planning is still in early stages but we hope to have divisions for U20 open, gx, U17 open and gx as well as Mixed.

Right now we have commitments from BUDA (boston), Valley Ultimate (Amherst), and Maine Ultimate. We are in the outreach phase and hope to add a bunch more clubs as we proceed. We aim to make the tournament very affordable and fun for the players.

Please let me know if you think you might have interest.

ALSO – we would love to invite more Canadian and upstate NY teams. If any of you have contacts you could share along either of those lines (or for any clubs elsewhere too!) Please let me know.

If there are other people in your organizations I should be contacting instead please let me know!

Best regards,

John Rice

Housing and Saturday Night Update

Housing is back for 2023!

We are once again able to match teams with local hosts, with priority given to teams making long journeys. Accommodations will be varied and will most likely include floor space for sleeping. Showers will not be at host homes and will instead be at a local school. The cost for housing will be $50 per team.

The Saturday night social is BACK!

We’ll once again be running a dinner at a local school, playing music, and providing lots of space for games and socializing. More details soon! Dinner will be optional and cost around ~$13 per person.

We project that the housing and Saturday night social forms will be available in mid-January.

46 bids from 7 states and provinces! [75% full!]

We’re already up to 46 bids spanning 7 states and provinces!

Our projected cap is ~60 teams, so don’t wait to send in your bid!
