In true Phat Hat style, everyone should bring a hat to throw in the ring and we'll make teams that day. There will be prizes for phattest hats. All skills are encouraged to come out -- this is a great chance for players new to the city or new to the game to meet and play with other ulti playas. For those who've been gaming with us for years, you already know it's a whole shizzle of fun. Fo rizzle. Emphasis is on having a good time and getting in one last great day of ultimate before the snow arrives.
Don't be shy, be fly!

A BBQ lunch will be available during the mid-day break for cheap eats so make sure to bring your spare bling and watch some of Calgary’s sickest skills showcased. Mark September 25 in yo' date books cause this ain't no tourney to miss! (And we are serious about bringing a hat...don’t forget!) Any questions....email communications@calgaryultimate.org.

Early Fall Update

Congrats Wild Rose on a top 8 finish at the Canadian Ultimate Championships this year! Not only did the team achieve its goal, the CUC ladies also had a lot of fun, some highlights being: winning on universe against Salty, scoring 13 points against Stella, improving throughout the tournament on its (many :) team goals, and getting to hear lots of interesting stories about people's "friends" ;)

The CUC ladies put a lot of hard work into preparing for Nationals this year, but we also wanted to say a big thanks to all of the ladies who weren't able to be with us in Sherbrooke but still contributed many hours to help lead women's practices, participate in fundraising, and those who came out to practices to help boost numbers. We hope that you'll join Wild Rose next year for CUC in Ottawa!!

Great highlights video of Boston's Brute Squad at Nationals last year....a bit long, but a great display of ladies working the long game, owning the disc, and later some pretty sweet Ds. Don't know about you, but watching this gets me psyched for next year!!! ;-)
