Valley Ultimate is running a learn to play Ultimate night led led experienced coaches! The event is for anyone who is new to Ultimate!
The event will take place on Thursday, July 13th from 6 to 8:30pm at the Oxbow Marina fields in Northampton.
The event costs $10 and is open to players of any age!
For more information, including how to register, please visit the event page.
Valley Ultimate has grant money to go into any school that does not have an ultimate program and teach the students how to play. We are flexible in how we do this so that we can accommodate a school’s needs. The hardest thing is to make a connection with a school to get the program going. If you have a connection to a school in the area that would be open to our free ultimate program offer, please contact Terry Plotkin at terryplotkin@gmail.com.
