PICKUP FRIDAY AND PUB NIGHTS!
 

On 8 selected Fridays starting May 6th TUC will be hosting pickup Ultimate Frisbee at Upper Canada College from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM.

Players of all skill levels (even if you haven’t played before) are welcome and encouraged to attend. This is a great and fun way to learn the game, work on your skills, get a little exercise and to meet new people, including your fellow TUC members. After working up that sweat on the field head down to a local establishment for food and drinks.
