Junior Touring Teams are being put together for young athletes living in and around Mississauga.
We are very excited to announce that Competitive Youth Ultimate has finally arrived in Mississauga!! Some of you may know that there are ultimate high school age rep teams that train and compete in the spring and summer at regional, provincial and national tournaments. In Ultimate circles, these are called “Juniors Touring Teams”. There are great programs run out of Toronto and some of our very own MissUC players have made the trek out to North York twice a week to be a part of this as it was the closest one.
But the Mississauga Ultimate Club is starting its own program for players born in 2006 to 2011. We have experienced coaches and national-level players ready to show youth how to get to the next level.
If enough students come and are able to commit to the teams, the goal would be to have a competitive and a development team for each gender. The idea is to develop these players and to expose them to touring ultimate (which is competitive but really fun and good-spirited)!
Please share this information with any high school students you may know and encourage them to try out.
Also, if you would be interested in helping coach (even once a week or are willing to help with admin), please reach out to us at touring@missuc.ca
Tryouts will be on Sunday April 28 and Saturday May 4 from 3-6pm at Cawthra Park S.S. field (1305 Cawthra Rd, Mississauga).
Practices will be Mondays and/or Wednesdays.
Players must establish a MissUC profile (if they don’t already have one), then complete a Youth Competitive Tryout Registration form before trying out!
This is for students born between January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2011.
