last updated 08/18/11 by K.Nabity Fall 2011 T/Th LeagueAbout Ultimate and VOTS leaguesUltimate Frisbee is a high energy, non-contact team sport. It combines elements of many different sports including soccer, basketball, and football. Ultimate is played on a rectangular shaped field with end zones shaped like football end zones. Each team consists of seven players. The disc is passed from teammate to teammate until somebody catches the disc in the end zone for a score. The Valley of the Sun Ultimate Association (VOTS) organizes adult leagues (18 and up, ages 16-17 with parental waiver) in the spring and fall with two primary goals:
How is league structured?
When does the season start and how long does it last?The season is comprised of 11 games: 1 "pre-season" game, 9 regular season games, and 1 game of pool play before finals on Saturday, Nov. 19th. The first game will be on September 1st, the last game will be November 17th. Do I need to have a team to sign up?No! All players sign up as individuals and are placed on teams which even out the number of beginner, intermediate, and advanced players per team. Baggage: The concept of baggage is designed SOLELY to introduce brand new players to the sport by allowing them play on a team with someone they know. List the person(s) you are bagging with in the comments section of the registration form. Baggage is NOT intended to ensure that couples & carpoolers get to play together. If couples/carpoolers wish to play together, explain the situation on the registration page. Captains will see your note during the draft and attempt (but not guarantee) to pick you on the same team. Better yet, captain together! Baggage decisions will be left to the discretion of the league director, who will follow up with requesters to inform them of their baggage approval status. Please, no more than one male and one female baggage request per player. How much does league cost and how do I register?Registration is now closed. If you missed out, check the calendar at VOTS.org for open play opportunities and join the VOTS yahoo group to be kept updated on when Fall league begins. |
