2013 Information

Union 2013

UNION is back and looking for a little more hardware. Last year, we were thrilled to take home a silver medal at CUC's, buoyed by the support and love from back home. This year we aim to re-take the podium, with the overall goal being to secure a bid to represent Toronto at WUCC in Italy, in 2014. UNION will continue to represent the Ultimate Experience as the Toronto-region premiere mixed team.

We are looking for highly skilled and experienced players who are passionate about competing at an elite level, pushing themselves to improve, and contributing to a tight-knit and cohesive team. We will be practicing once a week as a team (Tuesdays) and expecting players to adhere to their own regimen of fitness and skills work. We will also continue to contribute to our system teams, including support at Zen's practices & consideration to Zen players to fill temporary roster/practice spots.

We will be holding open tryouts, and plan on taking a 23-25 person roster.

Our proposed tournament schedule is as follows:

• (optional) TUF (Toronto): May 11-12
• Bell Crack (Philadelphia): May 18-19
• Poultry Days (Versailles, OH): June 15-16
• Regionals (TBD): Early July
• Motown Throwdown (Detroit): July 27-28
• Canadian Ultimate Championships (Vancouver): August 15-18

Zen 2013

ZEN was conceived in 2004, and since its inception has become a stepping stone for an abundance of touring players across all levels and divisions. Zen attended Nationals in 2006 and 2011. We are looking to return to the National stage and 2013 will see Zen blend good competition, fun and improvement (both as a team and individually) into one.

The ideal Zen player will be someone who works hard on the field in games and in practice; and then goes out to be the life of the party. We are looking to consistently put out solid performances and constantly improve our results at major tournaments.

Tournament schedule: TBD

Mars Meet Venus

MARS MEET VENUS (MMV) was founded in 2003. MMV is focused on introducing players to touring, as an opportunity to develop their skills and knowledge in a friendly and fun setting. Over the years, many players have successfully moved up the ranks to play at higher levels in the open, womens, and masters divisions as well as within mixed.

MMV practices will remain open to all, and players will have a chance to earn a spot on the tournament roster over the course of the season. The focus of this team is playing some seriously fun ultimate. MMV always wins the party!
