Youth Club Championships (YCC) Tryouts

Hey Bears, your participation in the USA Ultimate's Youth Club Championships (YCC) is HIGHLY encouraged. Just ask Bears players Curtis Cammack and Seth Donatell, or alumni John LaFavor and Whitney Esson. Each of them will tell you that YCC was the best playing experience they've ever had.

So, mark your calendars, YCC tryouts will be held on Saturday & Sunday, June 11 & 12, 2011 9:00 a.m. at Edward C. Solomon Park at 1301 East 58th Street Minneapolis, MN 55417. Go to either one, or both. WBLUltimate would be wise to flood Solomon Park with our talent.

Participants will compete at the 2011 USA Ultimate Youth Club Championships, August 13-14 in Blaine, MN http://www.mnhsultimate.org/ycc.aspx. This will be the seventh consecutive year that the Minnesota High School Ultimate League is hosting this unique event.

Teams will be announced on June 17th. Anyone who doesn't make Open U19 team can get info about U16 team (assuming they're not 17 before June 1) at June 11/12 tryouts. Practice will likely start on Tuesday (June 14) or Thursday (June 16) afternoon.

The Minnesota Summer Club league will start Saturday, June 18th. The Summer Youth Club will be a mixed gender league. You must participate in Summer League to participate in YCC.
