All 3 teams are holding open tryouts at Downsview Sports Park on the following two dates: Saturday April 24th from 11:00am until 3:00pm We invite you to come out and meet the leaders and find out what team fits for you. While you need only make one tryout date, we encourage you to attend both as we will be participating in different activities on the two dates, and weather in April can always cancel one date unexpectedly. There will be a $20 cost to help pay for the field booking. To register for tryouts, please visit us and fill out the form at www.playwithspirit.com/tryouts/. You will get a confirmation email once you have successfully registered. We wish the best to all participants in this year's tryouts. GOAT
GOAT was formed in 2002 to build a long-lasting ultimate program competing at the highest levels of the sport in Canada and the United States. Originally comprising top players from Toronto and Ottawa, GOAT now draws its core numbers from Toronto. Despite the vast infusion of new blood in 2005, GOAT did not skip a beat - continuing to achieve solid results over the course of the season. Always competitive and striving to improve, GOAT is also committed to developing the depth and skills of up-and-coming players in Toronto and Eastern Canada. With a solid core of players and strong connections to other Toronto teams and the Canadian University scene, GOAT is poised to continue its success in the years to come. Since its inception, GOAT has achieved a high degree of success on the field, beginning with a Canadian Championship title in 2002 and most recently in 2006. GOAT has appeared in the Canadian Ultimate Championship finals in 2003, 2005, and 2007 as well as numerous wins at various Eastern Canadian tournaments. South of the border, GOAT has also proven competitive with finalist appearances at what is now the Chicago Heavyweight Championships (2003 & 2005); semi-finalist showings at the Boston Invitational (2003 & 2005); and qualifying for the UPA Club Championships (2004). 2007 was a career year for GOAT, winning tournaments at the Boston Invite, Flowerbowl, Chicago Heavyweights and Chesopeake. GOAT also was runner up at CUC Nationals and Motown Throwdown in Detroit. At the UPA Club Championships, GOAT had its best showing ever, making the semi-finals. 2008 continued the strong showing with GOAT making the semi-finals at the Boston Invite and finishing 6th at the UPA Club Championship. If you have questions, please contact: Grand Trunk
Grand Trunk will be rostering approximately 20-25 players and although the team will prioritize the development of athletic individuals, the final composition of the team will be kept open until tryouts are finished. The team philosophy is that everyone starts on an even footing to earn a spot on the team. If you have questions, please contact: Loic Dalle: ldalle@dal.ca
