We’ve had a bunch of teams register already – now is the time to get your team signed up for this great event! Mid-Season is FREE to all TUC teams and it is our second largest event of the season (next to playoffs). Our friends from GAIA, Daredevil, and AMCARE will be on site to share their product with TUC members and we’ll have lots of fruit and bagels (and a special lunch on Sunday) to go around.
TUC’s 2006 Mid-Season Tournament will take place on Saturday and Sunday, July 22 & 23. All games will be played at beautiful SUNNYBROOK PARK. The tournament is free of charge to all TUC members and $5 for non-members (team captains will be asked to confirm team rosters). The tournament follows the league format, as all teams must be Coed (4/3-3/4). Each team is
guaranteed 6 games over the weekend, games starting at 9 a.m. both Saturday and Sunday. Entries for full teams only will be accepted.

Shuffles - The first round of shuffles will take place on Friday, June 23. The top two teams in each tier will move up, and the bottom two will move down. This shuffle is intended to create a more competitive balance amongst the tiers, as well as provide new competition for teams. Be sure to check your team’s schedule by June 26. Also, any make-up games for the first 5 weeks should be played BEFORE June 23 and reported to TUC headquarters.

Membership Packages – packages first hit the mailroom on Monday and will be out to you within the next week. If you do not receive your membership package by end of month, please check to make you correctly entered your mailing address in your registration profile, and then contact us. Thank you to our AMAZING volunteers who spent countless hours putting the packages together!

Pickup – a reminder that pickup fields are available at Riverdale Park East on Friday evenings (after 6:30pm) as well as Sunday afternoon (2:30 – 5:30pm). If you are interested in participating in a more structured game on Fridays, contact Max at friday@tuc.org

Coach for a Day – we are still seeking ‘Coach for a Day” volunteers to help coach inexperienced adult teams as well as junior teams. If you are interested please contact coachforaday@tuc.org

Pie Plate – the search is also on for volunteers to help create the 2006 edition of “Pie Plate.” Pie Plate is our annual souvenir magazine that all TUC members receive. It is a recap of the year’s events and will include photos, editorials, highlights, league results, and fun Ultimate facts. If you are interested in helping put together the best Pie Plate yet, contact communications@tuc.org.

The next great TUC Clinic will be on Sunday, July 16, at Riverdale Park East, from 1:00 – 2:30pm.

The clinic is co-ed and is ideal for beginner or intermediate players.

Thanks to all who came out and participated in our Hat Tournament on June 10 at Sunnybrook Park. Six teams, made of both new and experienced players, each played 4 games and produced both a spirited and competitive event. Team #1 narrowly captured the championship with a 12-11 win over Team #4. Congrats to all teams!

Be a superhero for Easter Seals kids! Easter Seals Drop Zone-Toronto is a unique cross-Canada event where 75 adventure-seekers raise $1500 each and have the opportunity to rappel down 16 stories from the rooftop of 175 Bloor Street East on Thursday August 24, 2006.
