Adult Learn-to-Play Ultimate Event

On Saturday, May 12 CURDS is hosting the first of two Learn-to-Play Ultimate events.  If you've never played or played just a little in gym class a few years ago, this is the event for you!  If you have friends who can answer "yes" to these questions, then this is the event for them!

Who: Anyone aged 15 or older who has never participated in a CURDS league.
What: Learn the basics of throwing and game play, and then try out your new skills in a casual game.

When: Saturday, May 12, 3-5 pm

Where: Green Island Park

What to bring: soccer cleats or athletic shoes, white and dark shirts, water, friends

Why: Because ultimate is a fun, fast-paced, spirited, and social sport that you'll love to play!

And just in case the excitement of playing ultimate isn't enough, we'll be raffling off discs, jerseys, and a free entry into Summer League throughout the event!

Send your questions to couleeultimate@gmail.com.  We hope to see you there!

Tuesday Pick-up

Thanks to everyone who came out to skills clinics the past five weeks.  We hope they were informative and fun.  Constructive criticism is always welcome, and requests for mini-skills clinics focusing on specific aspects will be entertained.  Just send us an email!

Our regularly scheduled clinics have thus ended, and starting this Tuesday, we'll have pick-up at 6:30 pm every Tuesday at Veterans Freedom until the end of the summer league season.  As usual, this is free to all who are registered for summer league, and $2 for anyone else.

Skills Clinic: Vertical Stack

Join us tomorrow (June 30) for our fifth skills clinic of the season!

Our theme this week is Vertical Stack Offense, and the clinic will be lead by Rachel Rockwell, Youth Program Coordinator, and Sarah Garstecki, Captain of UW-L Galaxy. They'll go over how to set up in a vertical stack, the best way to cut using the space, and how to clear out to give your teammates better cutting options.

As usual, the clinic starts at 6:30 pm and is followed by pick-up at 7:15 pm. All are welcome to join in either or both events, but those not registered for summer league will need to pay $2.

Please bring your white and non-grey dark shirts to make dividing teams easier.

Skills Clinic: Resets

Join us tonight (June 23) for our fourth skills clinic of the season!

Our theme this week is Resets: dumps, strikes, and swings, and the clinic will be lead by Sierra Colavito and Brett Townsend, our east coast ultimate gurus. They'll go over some efficient ways of getting rid of the disc when you're not confident with your upfield throws, resetting the disc on a high stall count, and passing the disc across the field so as to create more cutting options.

As usual, the clinic starts at 6:30 pm and is followed by pick-up at 7:15 pm. All are welcome to join in either or both events, but those not registered for summer league will need to pay $2.

Please bring your white and non-grey dark shirts to make dividing teams easier.

Skills Clinic: Horizontal Stack

Join us tonight (June 16) for our third skills clinic of the season!

Our theme this week is Horizontal Stack Offense, and the clinic will be lead by Craig Wotruba, Coach of the Winona State women's team, and Bennett Myers, Youth Program Leader and experienced player. They'll go over the basic idea of horizontal stack offense and lead some drills that will make you more familiar with this often-used offensive style.

As usual, the clinic starts at 6:30 pm and is followed by pick-up at 7:15 pm. All are welcome to join in either or both events, but those not registered for summer league will need to pay $2.

Please bring your white and non-grey dark shirts to make dividing teams easier.

Skills Clinic: Throwing

Join us tomorrow (Tuesday, June 9) for the second skills clinic of the season!  

Our theme this week is Throwing, and the clinic will be lead by Andrew Dornbush, Coach of the UW-L Men's team, and Drew Doescher, former Luther B captain.  They'll go over some throwing basics and introduce you to some drills and games that will improve your throwing prowess.
