Summer Youth League 2021–Save the Dates!

Save the dates!

This intramural league will meet twice a week, Tuesdays & Fridays, from 5:00-7:00pm from July 13 to August 20. The league is intended to provide a safe and effective program of skills build up after almost a year of little to no ultimate for many players and an opportunity for more experienced players to hone existing skills. Day 1 will focus on conditioning and skills building. Day 2 will focus on full scale play. 

Youth League is open to players in grades 7 through 12. Make up of teams/conditioning groups will be determined by number of registrations. It is possible that teams may blur traditional USAU playing divisions. Whatever the team composition, Valley Ultimate utilizes an equity-based lens to create a supportive and positive environment to encourage participants to reach their full potential as athletes and teammates.

Registration for the league will open June 1, 2021. 

COVID-19 precautions will be in place, including masking and social distancing, in accordance with MA Department of Health regulations, CDC , and USAU guidelines in effect at the time of league play. As this is a rapidly changing situation, no specifics can be shared at this time. Registrants will get further information as it is confirmed. It is likely that VU will utilize the same rules adaptations and masking policies implemented by area coaches for the high school season. Valley Ultimate is committed to implementing a high level of precautions to best manage risk levels for all participants and their families.

VU is currently seeking a Youth League Coordinator to start as soon as possible. You can find the full job description here and the online application here.
