Toronto Juniors Summer League (TJSL)

All players, age 18 and under (recommended 14-18 for Teen divisions), are invited to participate in the Toronto Juniors Summer League (TJSL). The leagues are co-ed and are open to players of all ages and skill levels. The goals of the leagues are: (i) to have fun; (ii) to learn Spirit of Game; and (iii) to improve individual skills and team strategies. All participants must register as TUC members (cost $35/person) and provide a signed waiver form to the TUC office. As a TUC junior member, you are eligible to play in TJSL for FREE in 2012.

This junior’s league is a hat league, which means teams are created by mixing the skill levels of all players who sign up. Depending on the age demographics and skill levels of the players, we will offer different divisions as well (beginner/experienced). Team rosters will be posted once the teams are set.

The TJSL will be played on various nights and in several locations in 2012, beginning the week of June 18th and will run weekly until the last week of August. Last week will consist of playoffs where all divisions across the city will come together at one location to play for the TUC Junior Championships. We will have experienced coaches present at all games. If you have any additional questions or difficulties with registration, contact the TUC office admin@tuc.org.

In 2012 TUC will be providing additional programming to the JUP to provide more opportunities for players of all ages and skill levels across the city to learn, develop and participate in Ultimate Frisbee in a comfortable learning environment amongst peers their own age. Not only will we be offering additional locations to our existing Teen Divisions (aged 14-18) we are also adding three (3) brand new youth divisions for players aged 8-13 years of age.  Registration for all TJSL Leagues will open in May.
