This year, we have over 70 teams in five divisions from about 20 states continuing the growth that has always been a part of YCC. You should expect to see the best of youth ultimate. YCC takes place at the National Sports Center in Blaine, Minn. NSC is one of the largest sports facilities in the world and continues to grow. Ultimate is played here every summer by TCUL, the local adult league, and Minnesota Youth Ultimate holds its state championship here in early June. The Friday night social event will be in the Schwan Center at NSC and will feature food, a swap meet and other excitements. Traditionally, we organize an exhibition game between coaches which is always very popular. Saturday evening features a mixed club game between local teams Drag’n Thrust and Bird. This isn’t just an exhibition; it’s a sanctioned game that counts toward the rankings. It should be very exciting. The Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul are home to many major and minor league sports teams including Minnesota United FC which plays in the stadium by the Schwan Center. For the ultimate shopper, the Mall of America is in Bloomington, Minn., not far from the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport. YCC only happens because LOTS of people volunteer their time. They will be keeping score, running the social events and performing many other tasks around the fields. Be sure to acknowledge their hard work. When you see a volunteer, say “Thank you!” Have a great tournament!

Play does not stop, and the marker resumes the stall count at “one.” Other than resetting the stall count to “one” after the first instance, the “contact” call is treated as any other marking violation. The marker may contest the “contact” call by calling “violation,” which stops play. If the thrower calls “contact” after beginning the throwing motion and subsequently releases the disc, it is treated as if the thrower called “foul.” • All games to 13, point cap at 15 except the following which will play to 11 with a point cap of 13: - U-19 Boys Pool A - U-19 Girls Pool B - U-19 Mixed Pool B - U-16 Boys Pool B • Halftime is 5 minutes. • Each team has two timeouts per half. • Regardless of how many timeouts a team has used before overtime, during overtime, each team has one timeout. • Overtime: a game is in overtime if tied at one point less than original game total (e.g., in a game to 13 goals, overtime occurs when the score reaches 12-12). • Soft time caps will not be used. • Hard time cap goes on at end of round time on schedule. Game is over at the end of the point in progress, unless tied. If tied, play one more point. • The cap does not affect timeouts. SITE RULES • No Alcohol • No Tobacco • No Glass • No Weapons • No Abusive Language • Observe Parking Restrictions and Handicap/Staff Spots • Dogs Must be Leashed • Spectators and equipment must stay at least 5 yards away from sidelines! Where there are buffer lines, respect them.

It was a very special occasion for the 12 players from that team who traveled from east and west, north and south to re-unite, reminisce and celebrate an indelible part of their young adult lives.o traveled from ~ University of Pennsylvania Void won the College Championships in 1985. Photo: Tom Kennedy It was also a very special event for me, someone who typically eschews such reunions, because many of those players were an important part of my past— freshmen and sophomores when we held practices every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon in the fall and spring on dustbowl Hill Field (now a construction site slated for new dorms and university buildings) in order to travel throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Regions seeking to play top college and club teams. When I first arrived in Philly in August 1978, the city—forever in the shadows of New York and Washington, D.C.—was a microcosm of urban poverty, racial division and violence that plagued many older U.S. cities. MOVE, a self-proclaimed black liberation group whose armed members all adopted the surname Africa, held the Philadelphia police at bay for nearly a year in a squalid house in Powelton Village, a neighborhood just north of the Penn and Drexel campuses.

  • Ultimate Frisbee HISTORY
    Ultimate Frisbee HISTORY In the fall of 1968, Joel Silver, a student at Columbia High School proposed a school Frisbee team to the student council on a whim. While the rules governing movement and scoring of the sport have not changed, the early Columbia High School games had sidelines that were defined by the parking lot of the school and team sizes based on the number of players that showed up. A foul was defined as contact "sufficient to arouse the ire of the player fouled." No referees were present, which often holds true today: most Ultimate matches (even at high level events) are self-officiated. The first national exposure of Ultimate Frisbee came on the 4th of July weekend of 1970 when a group of Frisbee players from Boston calling themselves the Nat Love Nine, journeyed to Houghton, Michigan for the annual International Frisbee Tournament. The event was chronicled by Sports Illustrated Magazine in their August 3, 1971 edition. The first collegiate Ultimate club was formed by Sam Weingast when he arrived at Lafayette College in 1970. UTIMATE FRISBEE PLAYERS ASSOCIATIONS USAU: United States of America Ultimate UPA: Ultimate Players Association WFDF: World Flying Disc Federation EFDF: European Flying Disc Federation UC: Ultimate Canada RULES OF ULTIMATE FRISBEE Field: 40 Yards by 120 Yards (7v7) Rules: THROW OFF/PULL 1.
