2010 Club Summer League (CSL)
Is your mixed club team ready to compete?
The Club Summer League (formerly named Club Ultimate Summer Session or CUSS) is back for a second season. Come out and play with mixed teams from one of the largest and most competitive sections in the country.
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!

FAQs - 2010 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 - Samir Gupta
- Communication & Marketing - Rachel Holz
- Match-making Coordinator - Aaron Stark
- Registration Information Coordinator - Jason Seidler
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.
