What if I cannot make the tryout date?
If for some reason you have a prior engagement, don’t let that stop you
from trying to join Ultimate. We will work with you to try and find a time
for you to try out. Please note that no matter when you join, the membership
fees for the 2008 season will remain the same.
If I play another sport can I still be a member of Ultimate?
Of course. Ultimate recognizes the importance of becoming an all around athlete.
Therefore, we encourage players to pursue their other interests. That being
said, we are an elite club team that requires a high level of commitment. If
you feel that your participation in these other sports takes precedence over
lacrosse, and will inhibit you from participating in certain mandatory activities,
it could affect your placement onto a team. Ultimate Blue will be consisted
of the most talented players that are willing to make a full time commitment
to the club.
What if I cannot make a mandatory tournament?
Each player is expected to attend all of the mandatory tournaments. If for
some reason you miss a mandatory tournament without appropriate notification
you will be fined $50 and might lose your chance at attending future tournaments.
If it happens more than once your status with the club will be reviewed. Certain
exceptions will be made for extreme circumstances.
Do I have any additional fees?
Yes. You must pay the additional tournament entry fees. Additionally, you are
responsible for all travel and hotel fees. Ultimate will block hotel rooms
for you though.
Do I have to come to all of the events?
No. Only certain tournaments are mandatory. All the other tournaments are optional.
However, the more tournaments you attend, the more chemistry you will have
with your teammates, and the better you will perform for the college coaches.
Not to mention, a large part of being on Ultimate is just having fun, so we
try and do that as much as we can.
What if I’m in 6th grade but I really want to try out for Ultimate?
Let us know, and we will have you come to the try-outs. You might be a great
candidate for our new development team. Here you will be taught the basic skills
needed to succeed at a higher level.
What if I want to register for the year above me?
Unfortunately, unless there are special circumstances, all players must compete
with their own age group. There will be certain tournaments where you might
get a chance to compete with older players, but your legitimate age group comes
first.
What do I do if I want to get Ultimate gear?
Ultimate is committed to providing each player with the things necessary to
compete. However, we also have gear for the parents and players to enjoy. Some
of that may be found on the Internet. In general, the first few practices of
the summer are the best times to buy gear.
What if I have questions about College?
Ultimate is committed to trying to find the best place for you to compete at
the college level. As a coaching staff we are always happy to help you come
up with some ideas, and discuss your future. You can email your respective
coach with questions.
