A couple shots from the first night of youth summer league (last Wednesday). The Riot team did a great job of keeping it fun for both the beginners (as young as to-be-3rd-graders) and the more experienced players (some to-be-6th-graders).
Do you want to get a good introduction to ultimate before you start playing as a 3rd grader? Would you like to keep your skills sharp as you prepare to compete in middle school?
If so, then you should sign up for the 2nd annual summer youth league in Seattle! It’s happening on the 5 Wednesday evenings in July and they had awesome t-shirt designs last year! The format of each 1.5-hour evening is 30 minutes of instruction/practice and then two 25-minute 5-on-5 co-ed games.
Registration is due on June 14. As of early June, they are about half full.
