What’s Up in May!
Summer League Team registration has now closed and we thank all members and teams for signing up on time. The race is now on to review our field permits and set the schedules over the next few weeks. We will do our best to accommodate your requests, but please recognize that while we are looking good for requested evenings, TUC cannot guarantee exact locations, as we have over 210 teams! Stay tuned.
Here’s what’s coming up this month. Please be sure to register online where indicated:
Beginner’s Co-Ed Beach Clinic – THIS WEEKEND!!!
This Sunday, April 30 TUC will host a beginner’s clinic on the beach at Ashbridge’s Bay, from 12pm – 2pm. The clinic is free to all TUC members and no registration is necessary. This is a perfect opportunity to prepare for the summer season and learn the tricks of the trade! We’ll meet on the west side of the beach by 12pm noon (parking via Coxwell Ave); look for the TUC tent! Pickup to follow afterwards.
May 6 Beach Hat & BBQ – NEXT WEEKEND!!!
On Saturday May 6 TUC will host its first ‘hat’ tournament of the year. The event is FREE to all 2006 TUC members and will include a social bbq! We ask that all participants please register online for this tournament. The Tournament will be held at Ashbridge's Bay on the beach starting at 10:00 AM. We're asking for everyone to show up at 9:30 AM so we can sort out the teams before hand. Park in the west side parking lot via Coxwell Ave and look for the TUC tent and picnic pavilion.
Captains Meetings – May 15-18!!!
In early May all team captains will be contacted and asked to attend our annual Captains Meetings for the 2006 Summer Season. Each night of the week, corresponding with your summer league play (if your team plays on Mondays, attend the Monday meeting), captains will be asked to ‘meet as one’ at the Sport Alliance Building, located at 1185 Eglinton Avenue East (Room 3B). The meetings are not mandatory but HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Important information will be disseminated and all questions will be answered…. we’ll even feed and provide all captains with a free disc!
