FALL TEAM 2009

PARTICIPATION
Players! We welcome and encourage each of you to participate. By agreeing to participate, each player must play in at least 6 of 9 games and attend at least one practice per week.

ADULT SUPERVISION REQUIRED
We will not play without an adult present at each and every game. Coach Jeff will not be available on Sundays and therefore I request that you ask your parents to help out by attending our games. Also to parents, please consider being a carpool driver to help ensure the safety of our players.

PLAYER REGISTRATION
1) Go to http://mnultimate.org/login.php
2) If you have never registered before, you'll need to click on "New User" underneath the dialog box. Enter your contact information including your email address and phone number (
cell preferred).
3) If you have previously registered, but forgotten your password, you'll need to click on "Lost username/password". Login and verify that your information is current.
4) Once registered, you'll need to inform both Coach Jeff and Captain Kelsey by email. That way, we'll know when you're available to pull you from the TCUL database to the White Bear Lake team roster.

COST
$20 per player to be paid to Coach Jeff by the first practice on August 25th. Check may be made out to "WBLUltimate."

WAIVERS REQUIRED

You must download and sign a waiver from here. Waivers must be turned in on the first practice, August 25th to Coach Jeff.

ROSTER
If you're not on the roster, you can't play in our games. We'd like to have a bare minimum of 11 guys, and 8 ladies on our roster. This will allow us full 7-on-7 scrimmages at practice. Roster changes can be made up until September 10th.
