MASTERS TEAM
Come one come all!
Hello all you "veteran" players out there. We are looking
to put together a team of masters to maybe go to the
Montreal and the No Borders Tournaments. We also would like
to set up scrimmages against any local traveling team that
is looking to practice those amazing plays that they have
laid out. The team will be made up of any of the masters
that are not going to worlds and any other master that would
like to pick up another night of good Ultimate. If you are
interested, send me an email. If there are any teams out
there that would like a team to scrimmage against during the
week, send me an email as well.
