Divisions

• When we do the ultimate trainings, we’ll have players in four divisions according to skills, experience, and athleticism.

• When we are doing other activities (off the field), we’ll divide players into groups - sometimes by age/grade, and sometimes by other means. In other words, the Intermediate/Advanced divisions will apply mainly for our ultimate training activities. The rest of the time, kids will be interacting with each other across divisions!

• If a player is signed up for a division that does not seem like a good fit (in the eyes of the coaches), then we will move them up/down in order to improve the experience for all the players.

Which division should I choose?

• We recommend that you select a division according to what grade your kid is in:
      MS Intermediate (recommended for 5th-7th graders)
  MS Advanced (recommended for 7th-8th graders)
  HS Intermediate (recommended for 9th-10th graders)
  HS Advanced (recommended for 10th-11th graders)

• If your 6th/7th/8th grader is a relatively experienced player, sign them up for the MS Advanced division … and likewise, if your 9th/10th grader is brand new to ultimate, the HS Intermediate division will be the best fit for them.

• If you’re not sure which division to register for, choose Intermediate. Once we see how kids are doing on the first day, it will be a lot smoother to move a kid up a division than move them down.

• We’ll start off with players in the divisions they’re registered for… and then coaches we’ll make adjustments if need be.

MS kids in the HS division?

• Can I sign my 8th grader up for the HS Intermediate division? … Our intention is to have kids training with other players who are the same age/grade/size. If you think your 8th grader would be a better fit in HS Intermediate division, let us know and we’ll consider placing them there.
