Summer Leagues 2023

Submitted by Britany Gordon on Fri, 2023-05-12 16:28
Hey OCUA members! 
The kick-off to the Summer 2023 season is right around the corner, so here are a few updates, reminders, & tidbits: 
 
  1. We are waiting on the City for confirmation that city fields will open on time (May 15). Without official word from the city we delayed planning a bit, however we are hopeful that word will come in soon. As such, we are moving ahead with things as though they will. 
  2. If city fields DO NOT open (which we have no control over) we will notify all Captains right away and ask that you share with your teammates. If there is a delay we will share what the next steps are at that time. 
  3. Each day, OCUA post the official “game call” by 3pm - posted on the top right corner of www.ocua.ca 
  4. Schedules are being worked on by league coordinators. For at least the first 4 weeks, games start at 6:45. When/if game start times are changed league coordinators will notify team captains. 
  5. Don’t forget to submit your game reports & spirit scores!  
    And last but certainly not least,
  6. Have an AMAZING summer filled with Ultimate fun!

OCUA would like to notify members that City of Ottawa city field allocations has changed for 2023 and impacted the number of city fields given for league nights -- as sports clubs and teams continue to return to the fields, allocations have changed to allow for some balance amongst the many sport and recreation groups throughout Ottawa. So what does this mean for OCUA Adult Summer Leagues & OCUA's members? There will be a shift in field distribution with each league night having a great majority of their games scheduled for UPI over city fields. We are fortunate, as the number of user groups increases across the city, to have our very own sports park that guarantees OCUA members a field to play on! OCUA staff will continue to work with the city in an effort to secure additional city fields, and will update the league information pages where applicable. 

A reminder to OCUA membership, for summer and fall mixed divisions, OCUA has implemented WFDF Gender Ratio Rule B.
