OCUA SPRING FIELD POLICY

OCUA would like to remind people to stay off of league 
fields until the beginning of league play. This is necessary 
to allow the fields the proper time to dry.

To help with the 'spring fever' that some people might feel, 
OCUA has arranged pickup times on the University of Ottawa's 
new field. For more information, see below.

************************************************************

OCUA SPRING PICK-UP

OCUA has rented field time for pick-up. Cost is only $5 per 
session.

Where:   University of Ottawa's new sport's complex

When:    Saturday April 20th noon-4pm
         Monday April 22nd 7-10pm
         Saturday April 27th noon-4pm
         Monday April 29th 7-10pm

FLAMINGOES CO-ED TRYOUTS

Do you think you have what it takes to play at the 
competitive level? Are you not afraid of the opposite sex? 
Well look no further, this year the Fabulous Flying 
Flamingoes are having open tryouts!

Why play for the Flamingoes?

The Flamingoes are Ottawa's premiere co-ed traveling team. 
The Flamingoes have competed at the past 3 National 
championships and are poised  to finish top of the pack when 
Nationals are hosted in Ottawa this year. We play to win, 
but never forget Spirit of the Game.

Having existed as long as we have, we hold bids to every 
major tournament in Ontario. With the popularity of Co-ed 
increasing it is becoming more difficult for new teams to 
get a bid in. Why take the chance? Come play for us!

Tryouts are at the University of Ottawa field, and cost $15 
per person.  The dates are:

   Thursday April 18th 8:30-10pm
   Tuesday April 23rd 8-10pm 
   Sunday April 28th noon-4pm
   Thursday May 2nd 8:30-10pm

Practices go from May to August.
We play in about 8-10 tournament from May to October.

Thanks,
The Flamingoes.
