Saturday Scrimmage - 2 Games!

Thanks to all the ladies who RSVP'd to help us form a second team to scrimmage against this Saturday (July 23). We've got a good dozen or so confirmed, so the second game is ON!

If there's anyone else who's still interested in coming out but hasn't RSVP'd, there's still time. Email us so we know to expect you: calgarywomensultimate@gmail.com.

10:00 am -- Wild Rose vs. Edmonton
11:30 am -- Break

Women Needed for Practice Scrimmage - July 23

Wild Rose will be representing Alberta at CUC 2011 (aka Nationals) and we need your help to prepare!

On Saturday, July 23, a women's team from Edmonton is coming down for a scrimmage. We would like to field a second Calgary women's team for that day so that we could play two games in a row. We're looking for women who have played B1 Division or higher. We have a range of skills on the team so there will be match-ups for everyone. Field location is still being determined. Games will run between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm.

If you can join us, please RSVP to calgarywomensultimate@gmail.com so that we can ensure there are enough numbers for a third team. At the very least, we could use players to supplement the team coming down from Edmonton.

Spread the word, help us practice and join us on the field!

Saturday, July 23
10:00 am - 2:00 pm
Field TBD


Thanks!

"Optional" Practice Tonight

Hey Ladies,

Great job this weekend in Kelowna!

Practice tonight is optional; however, we have a very limited number of practices before CUC so we strongly encourage everyone to attend.

J-E-L-L-O Shooters Are Back for HoDown 2011!!

Back for a second year in a row (do we hear a tradition forming?), Wild Rose is hitting the HoDown 2011 Saturday night party with jello shooters...this time with a wilder assortment of fruity flavours and spirited concoctions!

Bring some cash and look for the Wild Rose femme fatales at the party (trust us, we'll be hard to miss) -- $3 for one jello shot, or two for $5. Homemade by the Wild ladies themselves, this ain't the jello your mom used to make.

Spread the word to your friends because HoDown party tickets can be purchased for anyone, even if they didn't play in the tourney and have never touched a disc. For just $20 / person you get full access to non-stop wobbly pops, a lit Cups pitch, volleybal, bocci, a beer-pong tourney, live bands, a live DJ to help you dance the night away, and of course a bunch of other shenanigans nobody plans for.

Party tickets can be purchased from either the GAP or CRU Disc Central tents. Note: All tourney participants and volunteers get free access to dinner and the party.

For more tourney info, visit the CUA website. Hope to see you there!

Practice Tonight Moved Indoors - Chalk Talk @ 6:30 pm

Due to the weather, we're moving tonight's practice indoors for a chalk talk at the Calgary Police Department Admin Building:

316 - 7th Ave SE
6:30 - 8:30pm
Google Map

It's probably easiest to take the C-Train (Centre Street or Olympic Plaza stop), but if you need to drive there is parking available behind City Hall on 4th Street SE (both lot and Street).

Unfortunately there's a lot of construction going on in that area at the moment which means you can only access the main doors from the MacLeod Trail side of 7th Ave. Please leave early and possibly carpool with someone who's been there before.

Don't be late.
Lucky needs to let us into the building so be there at 6:30 pm SHARP. If you are going to be late or get lost, call her cell. See you tonight!

Vancouver May Have Been The Loser, But Wild Rose Has A Winner!

The Wild Rose Stanley Cup Hockey Pool results are in! Drumroll please....
  • 1st place: hebertj
  • 2nd place: thesilly1
  • 3rd place: reevers
Congrats! To collect your winnings, please email us

Thanks again to everyone who supported this fundraising drive of ours. For anyone who missed out, there's always next year! (which is what the Canucks are probably telling themselves right now too....)

All-Girls Youth Clinic with Monday Practice

If you know any girls aged 12 - 18 who would love to try ultimate (or have already played a few times and want to polish their skills), invite them to the Calgary Rugby Union this Monday! Wild Rose will be hosting an All-Girls Youth Clinic alongside its Monday practice. All skills are welcome and the clinic is free! Youth just need to RSVP to Tim. This clinic puts the "fun" in fundamentals as some of Wild Rose's team members will teach ultimate's basic skills, incorporate them into some fun drills, and then end with a scrimmage to bring it all together!

All-Girls Youth Clinic
6:30 - 8:30 pm
Calgary Rugby Union (9025 Shepard Road SE)

In the meantime, our regular Calgary Women's Ultimate practice will also take place at CRU at the same time and is open to women of all skills. Be there at 6:30 pm sharp, and bring a light and dark shirt!

Any questions on the clinic or regular practice, email us!

Interested in CUC with Wild Rose?

After a successful Flowerbowl weekend for Wild (4th place) and Rose (top 6), with both teams having strong wins over Edmonton, our focus now turns to preparing for the Canadian Ultimate Championships (CUC) taking place in Ottawa from August 11-14th, 2011.

Interested in CUC?
If you're interested in playing with Wild Rose at CUC, please fill out the following form no later than Thursday, June 9th:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dDlQQk84djJuZmdpWjcxNVN6Tkh0OGc6MQ

To ensure a cohesive team at CUC, we are looking for committed players who can attend practice on a regular basis. Once we've received all of the responses, we will determine how many ladies we will take with us (we're looking at taking a fairly robust roster) and if there will be a need for “tryouts”.

Interested in Kelowna but can’t make CUC?
Kelowna is hosting a women’s tournament on July 9-10th. If you’re interested in playing but can’t make CUC, please email us. If there’s enough interest, we’ll look into organizing a second team of ladies in addition to the Wild Rose CUC team.

Practices are now closed
Practices will now be closed for the remainder of the season. All ladies who are attending CUC are expected to attend practices on a regular basis. To ensure adequate numbers for practices, Flo friends and all the ladies who attended Flowerbowl with Wild Rose are still welcome to join. If you don't fit into one of those categories but are still interested in attending practices and are able to commit to coming on a regular basis, please discuss with one of the captains or email us.

Girls clinic on Monday
Wild Rose is hosting an all-girls clinic on Monday, June 13th starting at 6:30 pm at Calgary Rugby Union. It's free, and girls of any skill level aged 18 or under are welcome to join. Tell all the girls you know! For more information, please email juniors@calgaryultimate.org.

Any questions? Email us at calgarywomensultimate@gmail.com!

No practice tonight

Practice is cancelled tonight to give the Flowerbowl ladies a well-deserved rest. We're currently working out some plans for the rest of the season - check back here soon for more info.

Thursday, May 26, 2011

Next few practices are "closed"

Due to the rain and mushy fields, outdoor practice is cancelled tonight. For all the ladies going to Flowerbowl, we will still be having practice at the soccer centre. We'll email details once we have a time and place confirmed.

Also, next week's practices will be for Flowerbowl ladies only, so we can practice playing together in the teams we'll be using for the tournament. Thanks for your understanding, and wish us luck in Vancouver!

Recap on Women's Ultimate Info Session

Thanks to everyone who came out to our info session on March 31. Great to see some familiar faces as well as new ones! Here's a rundown of what was discussed. If you have any questions, feel free to comment on this post or send us an email.

Women's Skill Building / Development
  • Spring League starts Monday, April 4! If you missed the registration deadline but still want to play, email the CUA to get onto a team. This is a great place to learn new skills and try out the women's game! More details are here.
  • Women's practices & scrimmages will start in mid-April (once the snow clears) and will run on Thursdays till Spring League ends, then Mondays & Thursdays for the rest of the summer, from 6:30 - 8:30 pm. All skills are welcome....just be prepared to give 100%. We run drills, work on skills, and then scrimmage as a group. Even if you're not interested in playing competitively, this is a great place to polish your throws, learn some strategy and get a good game in. We'll post locations closer to mid-April but it'll likely be the Market Mall fields.
  • Flowerbowl is a Vancouver tournament happening June 4-5. We'd really like to take two Calgary teams to this tournament, with a mix of experienced and developmental players, so please talk to us if you're interested. This is a great tournament for getting a true feel of women's ultimate, is a great learning experience, and is a ton of fun! If you only go to one women's tournament this year, make it this one.
Competitive Scene / Wild Rose 2011
  • Three players have been chosen as Wild Rose's team captains and 'on-field' voices for 2011. Please welcome this year's leadership trio:
    - Jill Kowalchuk
    - Nathalie Woodhouse
    - Nicole (Lucky) Desjardins
  • Wild Rose will be playing in the following tournaments:
    - Flowerbowl (Vancouver) June 4-5
    - Kelowna Women's Tournament July 9-10
    - Alberta Regionals (if needed - date & location TBD)
    - CUC 2011 (Ottawa) August 11-14
  • If you're interested in playing competitively with Wild Rose and attending CUC 2011, we expect that you'll try to attend all or most of the season's practices....but of course we understand that people have vacation plans, maybe some kids, or other sorts of commitments. If you foresee any complications with regular attendance at practices or tournaments, please talk to us and we can work something out.
So.....What Are Your Plans?
To help us plan the season, please fill out this brief survey. This is just to give us a feel for numbers, peoples' availability, etc.

Other items
  • We're selling Wild Rose discs as a fundraiser this year. One for $15 or two for $25. If you or someone you know would like a disc, contact us.
  • Wild Rose is looking for a non-player coach to support and train the team this year. If you or someone you know would be interested in this position, check out the details here.
  • We've submitted a proposal to the CUA for some funding assistance, and if we get that funding we are considering setting up a 'scholarship' program to assist a player (likely a university student) to attend CUC with us. Criteria for receiving this scholarship has yet to be determined, but financial need would be part of it. More details to come.
That's about it for now. If you have any questions on any of the items noted above, please contact us. Otherwise, we hope to see you on the fields for Spring League, and stay tuned here for more details on our first official practice & scrimmage in mid-April!

Wild Rose Discs - Get Yours Today!

Have you heard? Wild Rose is selling limited edition discs as a team fundraiser for the 2011 season and the trip to Nationals this August. Fresh off the Discraft presses, these discs are a steal of a deal at 1 for $15 or 2 for $25. Who wouldn't want to start the season with a new disc in their bag? Treat yourself! Better yet, buy one for both you and a friend!

And guys - we're thinking of you too. These discs are chick magnets! Think of what a great icebreaker they would be to show off your softer side -- "Yeah, I'm all about supporting women in sports....I'm just that kinda guy." Cha-ching!

You don't even need to play frisbee to enjoy these discs! 
  • Always losing your keys or cell phone? You'll never lose them again if you store them in a disc near the front door!
  • Got pets? They'll love the wide base and shallow depth of their new water dish! Perfect for small kittens and Dacshunds!
  • Hosting a dinner party? Impress Martha Stewart (or really piss her off) with this creative table centerpiece!
The possibilities are endless!
To buy discs, you can email Wild Rose, or contact a Wild Rose player directly and they'll hook you up.

Looking forward to your support!
