Hello All

 

Ladies - Gemma will be at practice at school on Friday, so come along to make it worth her coming for a good girls session, and any of you who might be interested in being considered for GB U20 Women second team, or GB U17 Girls - be there and have a word with her! Even if you don't want to think GB this year, come along anyway. And invite anyone who's not played regularly (or at all!) before to come too.

 

Lads - Alex, Callum, Ben - anyone who might be interested in the U20 team, this email (below) tells you what to do... get in touch with him! Sadler, Bailey and Dec don't have email addresses that I know - pass it on to them, and anyone else...

Hey-Hey Junior Ultimate watchers!
 
So the UKUA board and Kev Lowe has invited me to coach the GB Junior Under 19 second team, and to prepare and arrange the winning of the European tournament in Slovakia in July (dates to be confirmed, likely to be around the Thursday 3 July to Monday 7th, dependent on how much the other European teams faff). 
 
From coaching Kent Juniors I am aware that we have a lot of talented youngsters coming up through the ranks right across the country (how good was Junior indoors this year?!) - the GB Junior lads are looking really threatening on the B Tour (and that isn't just because they're all taller than me), and I know the Junior women are all over their preparations.  There were so many hopefuls that were unable to make the Junior trials, trainings or Worlds and are definitely good enough to represent their country.  I'm gonna arrange at least one training-cum-tournament for us all to hook up, hang out and select a team, but could anyone who's interested (and all those helpful people at schools and clubs who also support the juniors) please get in touch with me, either by;
 
email: fatmaude@..., or president@...
facebook: I'm "Matthew Ford"
phone: 077 360 360 94
team: Kent.  Come and say Hello.  We've got some Kent University prospectus'.  I hear the local Ultimate scene is awesome ;)  Just to be clear, there will be no favouritism for the players I know the best.
 
Once the picture is clear I'll post again future dates for the diary.  There will certainly be some GB Junior action at the Junior Outdoor nationals in Birmingham  June 21st which we will meet up at. 
 
As part of my Capello-esque plans for European domination (I'm aware of the irony), I have asked some respected players to help us in our goal:
 
Paul "Woody" Wood: a veteran.  He's played for a LOT of teams.  All round player and tactician. 
James "Troy" Maclure: You may recognise him from such Ultimate Teams as Bears Captain, Huck N Sea, Fire of London...
 
Please do get in touch, about anything Junior or Ultimate related, and best of luck to everyone at Tour 3.  I'm sure everyone is enjoying the ding-dong battles going on, from the top right down to the bottom this season, as much as I am. 
 
Keep it Spirited,
 
Whippet

PS.  Can I also take this opportunity to ask if there are any teachers out there who have some Ultimate Lesson plans they can share (Kev Lowe has been exceptionally helpful so far), as I'm teaching some teachers in Kent soon.  I'm looking forward to giving some teachers a taste of their own medicine!
