The time we’ve all been waiting for is finally here – TUC Ultimate Leagues are Resuming for Summer 2021!

Starting July 12, TUC will be running adult leagues, juniors programming and touring team practices. As we continue to adhere strictly to government and public health guidelines, and in the interest of the health and safety of our members, some modifications will be in effect as we return to the field this summer. These will include:

• TUC leagues for 2021 will be 5v5.
• Wellness screenings are required prior to each game or practice.
• COVID-19 rule modifications: silent stall count to 5, 1-meter marking, 2 meter spacing on sidelines.
• Hand and disc-sanitization before, during (half-time at a minimum) and after.
• Participants must be TUC members, and attendance records kept for every game/practice to aid public health authorities with contact tracing.
• For the first part of the season, in Step 2, masks will be required. TUC leadership will re-evaluate this requirement as government and public health authorities release the details of Step 3 of Ontario’s reopening framework.

TUC leadership is recommending, that those wishing to return to play this summer and who are eligible to be vaccinated, be at least partially vaccinated.

You can review the full list of TUC COVID-19 Rule Modifications here, and TUC's latest Mandatory Safe Return to Play - COVID-19 Prevention Plan and Protocols here.

We are pleased that the Ontario Government's new reopening framework no longer requires sports leagues to create mini-leagues/cohorts of 4 teams. For summer 2021 leagues, we will use our ladder system providing we have enough teams to do so.

2021 Summer League Registrations

Registration is currently open! If your team has pre-registered, we have been reaching out to the team captain(s) to finalize payment and confirm their spot in the league. If you have not yet registered for the summer 2021 season, there is still time! Register a team or as an individual. We will do our best to help connect individual registrants with teams in need of players.

Below are all our 2021 Summer Season offerings and registrations links.

2021 Summer Practice Fields

We know that some teams are eager to get back out on the field and are ready to play, while others may still be a little hesitant. To accommodate teams that may not be quite ready to begin playing this summer, and for those who perhaps want to have a practice night in addition to playing in the league, we are offering teams the ability to rent practice field space this summer. Costs for practice fields will vary by location. Details can be found in the request form below.

To request practice field usage through TUC, submit the Google Form here ==> https://forms.gle/drKAQftpkk44ptvaA

Please complete the field request form as soon as possible. To get you on the field the week of July 12th, we will require your request by July 5th.

We look forward to seeing you on the field in a few weeks!

TUC Leadership

Dear Members,

The GAME ON Coalition of Outdoor Sports, a group of several outdoor Provincial Sport Organizations and outdoor sports clubs, including the Toronto Ultimate Club, met with the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries on Wednesday regarding our concerns with the Province’s Roadmap to Re-opening Ontario plan.

The meeting went very well, and TUC is encouraged by the Government’s direction with the Roadmap to Re-opening.

For Step 1, the Ministry has confirmed that on a large, outdoor facility like a soccer field, more than one group of 10 participants is permitted.  However, these groups cannot cross over or inter-mingle.  Please note that the number 10 does not include coaches, instructors, trainers or clinicians.

The Ministry has also confirmed that masks and contact tracing requirements will remain in effect for Step 1 of the Roadmap to Re-opening.

For Step 1, the Re-opening regulations state practices are not permitted.  The coalition sought clarity on this statement, and the Ministry confirmed that each Sport defines for its members what is “practice” and what is “training”.  For TUC’s purposes, all practice activities, with the exception of scrimmages, and inter-squad scrimmages, constitutes training.

Per the Provincial Roadmap to Re-opening regulations, scrimmages and games are not permitted in Step 1.

TUC feels the discussions regarding the regulations for Step 2 and Step 3 of the Roadmap to Re-opening for Sport were very positive, and we look forward to sharing those outcomes with you, our members in the coming week or so.

With the clarity provided by the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Cultural Industries on what is permitted for Sport in Step 1, TUC will be announcing and opening up registrations for clinics and tune-up training sessions early next week to get the rust off and prepare for the resumption of league games and programs Step 2, hopefully in early to mid-July.

We look forward to seeing everyone on the ultimate field soon!

Kind Regards,

Jo Malisani (she/her)
Executive Director
Toronto Ultimate Club
