Fall Dates

The change of seasons will be here before you know it, and with that in mind more options for playing Ultimate arrive soon. Please note the following:

SF Rec Fall League - The same league that plays in the spring and summer in Golden Gate Park returns once more for the Fall League. Registrations begin Thursday Aug. 26th @ 12 noon, and games begin Sunday Sep. 12th. Spots will probably go very quickly for men and women, so don't be late. Please visit the SF Rec League home page for more details.

CORRECTION (8/25) - Thursday Pickup @ Gilman - Now that Club Summer League has finished, the Gilman Fields in Berkeley open up for pickup *very soon*. We know, we know...all the summer leagues are over, and you're dying to play. And yes, we know that the date keeps moving. We assure you that the dates are now fixed. Pickup begins on Thursday night September 16th, and it will last throughout the fall. Some blackout dates may be announced, so make sure you are subscribed to the NEWS list for announcements.

There will be 2 fields available every Thursday night from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Be forewarned that because it is only a 2 hr. timeslot, this pickup game draws the most punctual crowd ever in the history of Ultimate. No, seriously. As soon as the previous activity clears (usually soccer), we get the cones onto the field faster than you can so "no contest" and 7 on the line about 10 minutes past the hour. TENTATIVE - $5 donation for drop-in per night, or $20 for the whole season. Unlike the last 2 years, we will have a PayPal link available for collecting payments. Check back soon for the link, it will be ready in time for the first night of pickup.

We've got lots more in store for the fall, including a special "holiday" event in October (hint-hint), and also more clinics.

As usual, you'll hear everything first by making sure you are subscribed to our NEWS list (scroll down for instructions on joining the list), and by checking back to this web site.

YCC Puts the Happy in Happy Cows - CONGRATS!!

The Bay Area's first-ever representative at the Youth Club Championships (YCC), Happy Cows, took first place in the Mixed Division during the weekend of August 14-15 in Blaine, Minnesota. Leaders of the Youth Division assembled this team as an all-star squad drawn from local high school clubs.

Happy Cows arrived at the tournament as complete unknowns with just a few weeks of league play and training under their belts, beginning Day 1 of the competition as the #4 seed (out of 4) in their pool. Coached by Jordan Rose and Geoff Rexroth (a 3rd coach, Allen Thoe, had to miss the event), our team played its way up to the #1 seed for Day 2 by going a perfect 3-0 in pool play with wins over Madison, Minnesota, and Arkansas, including a 10-9 win on universe point in the Minnesota game. On Day 2, Happy Cows triumphed over Seattle's DiscNW in the semifinals and Boston's BUDA in the final to take home the championship, an altogether unexpected but magnificent result. Visit the USA Ultimate web site for more detailed YCC coverage.

Says Coach Jordan Rose, "It's a pleasure to coach them...I can't adequately put it in words. These kids have so much heart!"

Happy Cows' trimuph is the latest example of mission fulfillment for Bay Area Disc and its fledgling Youth Division, now in its 2nd year. Visit and bookmark the Youth Division home page to keep up with the latest local developments in youth ultimate.

Congrats to the World Champions

Bay Area teams scored a rare double victory in Prague this past July when Fury and Revolver both won gold medals at the 2010 World Ultimate Club Championships. We are still collecting photos and thoughts from local team members, so check back here for updates. See the USA Ultimate web site for more coverage.

Need help keeping track of it all? Check for updates and announcements on our Leagues Main Page, and make sure you get connected on our Mailing Lists & Facebook page (see below).

News List

Our NEWS list is the largest Ultimate-related list in the country (according to an informal search on Yahoogroups), and we use it as the all-in-one Bay Area news channel for upcoming league registrations, tournament announcements, pick-up games, club team try-outs, and other disc related questions or announcements. As an active player in or near the San Francisco area, you cannot afford to not be on this list!

Community List

Our COMMUNITY list is the slightly less moderated, almost-anything-goes channel for local Ultimate players to connect with others. Here, we share news about carpools to tournaments, lost & found, apartments, local bands, gallery openings, and the occasional job posting. This list is also a place to practice the fine art of trash-talking. Posts to this list tend to be more peer-to-peer, by and for Ultimate players only.

To really stay on top of Ultimate-related news in our area, check back to this web site regularly, and subscribe yourself to the News List, as described above. We guarantee that the web site and / or the email list are the primary channels of information. Facebook will become more integral to our operations once we've gotten some stuff figured out.
