We're blowing up
So I just got the word that I, G-off, will have my blog on a website. It's about time. I'm only the most amazing writer since David Hasselhoff. Ok well just updating the 10 readers (if that), that I will be added to the Bayareadiscassocation.org website as there go to blog about youth ultimate. High five me next time you see me. I'm excited too. I'm still looking for writers though. I should have a piece coming in from Eli Kerns of Dark Meat, about his team that he, and now Freshman at UC Davis, Patrick Lahey, put together for the club season: Jail Bait. They are an all youth team playing mixed club. Great idea! We need more kids like this. So more to come soon.
Here in the future
Here are some ideas that are in the air and will hopefully be completed this year in the bay area youth scene.
Beach tourney: So there is a possible beach tourney happening here in the bay area. It will take a lot of work and some cash to get this done, but this should be rewarding for the kids around here. Some of them have thrown at the beach but have they ever played in a competitive tournament? Probably not, and nothing is more fun than a beach tournament. This most likely will be a hat tournament and will happen in the spring. The first thought was to have it in the fall, but due to odd weather and conflicting schedules the tournament will be played in the spring. Get your layouts ready and close your mouth.
All Star Game: BADAss. will be hosting the first ever All-Star game. The structure hasn't been decided, a toss up between just having an All-Star game or having a mini All-Star tournament: four teams (semi's to finals). This will be done as an event, which means hopefully some type of sound system, maybe jersey's, or t-shirts and fans.
Granada Hat tournament: Just a youth hat tournament. Hopefully in December.
Winter League: This happened last year ran by Berkeley's Jordan Rose and will be happening again. Taking up two months. A few games on a sunday every sunday. This and the All-Star game would be great things to get our foot in the door of the YCC's. Which the bay area has never been in and strongly wants.
