Wellington Disc Sports would like to announce the selection of Adele Gibson and Jane Keane as co-coaches for Artemis. They will be running trainings and selecting a team to represent Wellington at the WaM tournament in Auckland.

Trainings will be held on Sundays from 3-6 pm at Boyd Wilson Field, at Victoria University of Wellington's Kelburn Campus. VUWFDC has secured these fields. To help cover the costs of the fields they are charging $20 per person for the entire training period leading up to WaM.

Trainings start Sunday, 29 January 2012.

WDS is pleased to open registrations for the second summer leagues for 2011/12. Registrations close on Saturday 14 January.

In June there was a special convening of the Wellington Disc Sports Executive to discuss the development of a strategy plan for the Wellington community.  The resulting strategic statement resulting from this session was as follows:
•    To grow and develop the skills, players, spirit and awareness of the Wellington Disc Sports Community.

At the beginning of October the two NZ U19 teams faced off against the Australian U19 in the first ever Trans-Tasman U19s Championship.  The players have spent the last six months training hard and it was exciting to see each team come together to represent their country in an exciting three game series.
 
Both teams coped with the wet and windy conditions admirably with some games going to universe point.

Kahu, the NZ U19 girls, and Katipo, the NZ U19 boys, both put on an impressive show and each team took the series in a clean sweep 3-0.

WDS faces a number of choices about the design of the 2012 indoor leagues.  We have considerably more court space (because of the opening of the ASB Community Sports Centre at Cobham Drive) and have made a number of changes to the summer leagues which might also be relevant to the indoor season. We're looking for someone to work through these choices, and to consult other players about their preference.  The Leagues' Committee will provide advice and support for the work.

To register complete the survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LHS5ZKN and pay the appropriate fee into the WDS account: 03 0502 0924107 000.

Registration is only complete when you have filled in the survey and paid the fee! Make sure you register before the price goes up on 23 December...

There are still a few spots avaliable on the draft teams for the upcoming outdoor league so get in there:

To register for the men’s league please fill out the survey here.
To register for the women's league please fill out the survey here.

Save the date!

The 4^th annual Century Game and DDC Tourney will be held in Wellington on 28 and 29 January 2012!
 
For any noobs who don't know what we're on about, the gist of what this amAZing hat tourney is all about is below.
 
For more details on the perks, price and how to register, stay tuned...

Cheers!

In April 2011 College Sport Wellington offered Wellington Disc Sports $16,000 for their 'Ultimate in Schools' Programme. This money is going towards putting Ultimate players from the community into schools to help promote, coach and train students. As well as money Sport Wellington has announced Ultimate as a sanctioned Sport to all secondary schools in the area. From this movement the Schools Programme, initiated by WDS, has received a wide range of interest and is currently in the process of organising a structure that will enable College Ultimate to grow in Wellington.

The results of the consultation on the format for the 2011/2012 outdoor leagues can be found here.

Vic Johns will be taking over as the Leagues Coordinator for the Summer 2011/2012 Leagues.

She will be in charge of everything related to these leagues. Clubs and captains will be receiving an email from her announcing the opening of registration soon.

Purpose

This consultation document sets out a new approach to operating the leagues for summer 2011/12.
