***COVID-19 UPDATE***
Our spring season will look different than in past years. Here are a few highlights
There will not be any indoor practices this season, which will result in a later start time. We will have to wait until the snow melts.
Due to the later start to season, the season will end in late June (typically the season ends the first weekend in June).

General outline of our spring season. Currently available for WBLAHS students in 9th-12th grade. See our calendar on the homepage for more specific dates and times as they are made available.
Kick-Off Meeting
Our kick-off meeting typically takes place in mid to late February.
Preseason
Depending on gym availability and interest, we hold open gym times for players to warm-up for the season. This is a great chance for new players to give Ultimate a try and for returning players to get back into Ultimate.
Tryouts
For the Boy’s teams there will be tryouts held in early March (before Spring Break). Everyone will be placed on a team. These tryouts are our best attempt to place each player in the team/environment we believe will be their best fit. See a description of the teams below. Until our Girl’s team can field a JV team, they will typically hold extra preseason practices around the same time.
