The season has come to an end but not before we were able to play a complete year of ultimate. Sure, we missed some tournaments but just the fact that we were able to play says a lot about our group. We never wavered in the face of many obstacles playing in the fall, winter and spring. 

We want to thank all the players, parents and coaches for your time and dedication. Congratulations to all the seniors and hope to see you cheering at our games next year. 

Look for communications about Captain's Practices starting in August and league practices in September. Enjoy your summer!

Are you considering playing Ultimate? Here are some reasons to sign up:

• Build Endurance: Ultimate combines the athletic endurance of soccer with the passing skills of football.
• Learn Sportsmanship: There are no referee's in Ultimate. Players learn to call their own penalties and work out any differences by communication on the field.
• Low Contact Sport: Players are not allowed to pull, push, or tackle other players. The sport is more about finesse!
• Anyone Can Play: All players encourage and help other players so even the first-time player will be comfortable on the field!
• It's Just Fun! There is a reason why it's one of the fastest growing sports in the country.

Starting Friday May 21, 2021, masks are no longer required during MN Ultimate programming when all participants are local. This applies to all current and scheduled programming through June 2021. Ultimate in Minnesota is now aligned with all other sports in terms of mask guidance.

The Minnesota Ultimate board of directors and staff know this update will be welcomed by many players, coaches, and families. We also know this will cause additional stress and worry for others. Individuals will have to make decisions based on their own comfort and safety, but we are encouraged by the guidance of both USAU and MDH that outdoor sports have a low risk profile. We ask that all community members be considerate and respectful of those who are most vulnerable within our community.

While masks are no longer required required, they remain an MDH recommendation when proper distancing cannot be maintained; especially for those who have not completed their vaccination course and two week immunization period. As a courtesy to teammates and opponents, players may consider wearing a mask/bandana/buff/neckie around their neck or over the chin, then place it over their mouth and nose while on the mark.

MDH currently recommends that any youth participating in extracurricular activities or sporting events be tested weekly.  You can find more information on at-home and community testing here: https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/coronavirus/testsites/index.html

• We strongly encourage everyone eligible to get vaccinated.  Individuals aged 12 and older can get vaccinated by contacting their health care provider or visiting a community vaccination site: https://mn.gov/covid19/vaccine/find-vaccine/community-vaccination-program/index.jsp
