2011 Club Summer League (CSL)

Are you ready to start a new mixed club team? Does your current mixed club team want to compete all summer against other bay area mixed teams? If your answer is yes to either, you've come to right place.

Club Summer League is back for a third season. Come out and play with mixed teams from one of the largest and most competitive sections in the country. The perfect league to start a new team and get prepared for Sectionals in September.

It's both a great way for established teams to hone their strategies and also an excellent venue to establish a new team.

CSL will run from June through August. We are on the same great lit turf fields at the Tom Bates sports complex in Berkeley (aka Gilman Fields) for the weekly games.

How does it work?

Team management is left to the captains; however, we recommend a minimum roster size of 16 to ensure sufficient attendance for all games. Each team is free to determine their players, practice schedule, team name, team dues, and so on. But let us know if your team needs assistance getting team jerseys or recruiting players - we can help!

Divisions:

To provide the best play and most balanced competition for all teams, the 2011 summer session has two divisions. Div 1 (Thursdays) is intended for more experienced teams and Div 2 (Mondays) is intended for less experienced teams.

Dates and Times:

  • Division 1
    • Thursdays, June 9 to Aug 18
    • Games from 7pm to 9pm and 9pm to 11pm
  • Division 2
    • Mondays, June 6 to Aug 15

FAQs - 2011 Club Ultimate Summer Session

I'm in High School - can I play?

Yes! You can play with any team but you must sign a Bay Area Disc Association waiver.

If I don't have a team to play with can I still play?

CSL is intended for teams to sign up as teams. Since we know there are many individuals that want to play, we have created the 'INDIVIDUALS SIGNUP' match-making option, which is available here, to help individual players find teams that have open spots.

CSL Volunteers

Who is involved?

Bay Area Disc Association is run entirely by volunteers. We thank the eight volunteer Captains in each league who run their teams every season, the CSL would not work without their dedication. In addition to the Captains, the league is run by the following volunteers.

  • League Director - Adam Farren
  • Communication/Marketing/Partytime Coordinator - Rachel Holz
  • Match-making Coordinator - Aaron Stark
  • Registration Information Coordinator - Jason Seidler
  • Waivers & Score Reporting/Spirit Reporting - Johann Lau

Where Does the Money Go?

All money collected goes to support the league and the Bay Area Disc Association. The majority of your fees pay for field rentals. We hired a programmer to help implement our online registration in 2001 & 2002, but all technical planning and other work on the website is done on an unpaid, volunteer basis. Other expenses include discs, insurance, field equipment, clinics, and tournaments. No money goes to any of the league officials.
