Where do I start? Its been an interesting, busy, productive and sometimes frustrating first year.

Calgary Juniors Ultimate is firmly established, very active and growing every day.

In the past year we’ve gone from zero teams to hosting our first tournament. We started with six teams representing kids from nine schools. We’ve also taught in-school clinics to about 5000 kids across the city and continue helping teachers get Ultimate going in the school system.

This weekend we’re hosting our 2nd Annual Youth Tournament. Come by at watch. We’ve grown to ten teams and have teams in both the Junior High and High School divisions.

We’re at Saints Rugby Fields, 1500 – 30th Ave NE. Games will be going on from 9:30 – 6:00. Bring your lawn chair, sunscreen, cowbell and air horns!

One of the things I’m most proud of is watching the ongoing development and accomplishments of the young players which started only a year ago. A group of them have stayed together as a team, practiced diligently and even entered the league last summer. Those kids did so well they WON their division! Very nice job.

Now that group is working even harder as they prepare to represent Calgary this summer at the national championships in Quebec later this summer.

I am absolutely amazed at how much they’ve learned, how good they are already and the incredible potential they have.

We have some very good Juniors Ultimate started in Calgary. You too can be part of that.

We want to encourage all of you to get in touch with us, to start teams at your schools and help us grow Ultimate for the kids of Calgary.
