2008 Summer Leagues
NEW: 5/13/08
Chicago Ultimate Players!
At long last, the time for Summer League is here. Hard to believe, seeing as how Spring never really arrived, but the calendar never lies.
This year, there will be five different leagues to choose from for your summer enjoyment. The details about each are below, but the important thing to keep in mind is that registration starts on MONDAY, MAY 12 at noon and ends at 11:59pm on MONDAY, MAY 26. Your registration must be COMPLETE by the deadline. This means you must be registered, waivered, AND paid by then or you will not be included in summer league this year!
Monday, May 26 (Memorial Day) just happens to be the date of the Kickoff Hat Tournament. This will start at 10am at Washington Park. Just look for the flying plastic.
CUSL
This is the traditional Chicago Ultimate Summer League. All levels of players are welcome. CUSL PLAYS ON MON AND WED - IF YOU SIGN UP FOR THE COMPETITIVE LEAGUE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SIGN UP FOR CUSL.
OPEN League
This year, for the first time, concurrent with CUSL, we will be offering an Open League (open to all gender). There will be no gender restrictions for either play or registration in the Open League. Any men who cannot be placed into CUSL will immediately be given the option to play in the Open League, as will their buddy groups. Anyone who wants to can also simply register directly for the Open League.
COMPETITIVE League
For the second year, Chicago Ultimate will be offering a co-ed competitive league one night per week. This league is for experienced players with a competitive, and is highly recommended for those who play club ultimate, participate on a college team, or who have played league ultimate for several years and are looking to step up their game. Those who play in the competitive league cannot also play in CUSL - no exceptions.
THURSDAY League
Once again, Chicago Ultimate will also be offering the Thursday League, which is structured to be geared more towards beginning players. The emphasis is on instruction and learning, rather than on competition.
WEST League
Once again, Chicago Ultimate will be offering a West League out in the Western Suburbs, Carol Stream this year.
