February 1 is National Girls and Women in Sports Day.

We would like to take this opportunity to once again congratulate the Seattle Girls Club team that took the gold at the 2011 USA Ultimate Youth Club Championships last summer.

If you would like to share any positive stories about girls and women in ultimate, please visit the DiscNW Facebook page.

USA Ultimate has announced that it is now accepting applications from school-based teams who wish to play at the 2012 Western High School Championship. Applications are due on Friday, March 23. New in 2012, teams who did not play in the 2011 Washington State Championship are eligible to apply, if they plan to attend the 2012 state championship.

USA Ultimate is also now accepting applications from club teams who wish to play in August's Youth Club Championship (YCC) tournament in Blaine, MN. As usual, DiscNW will be applying to send a U19 Girls, U19 Boys, and U19 Mixed team to the championship. Tryouts will take place on Sundays in May and will be open to players who have completed grades 9-12. USA Ultimate is also hosting a U16 open division, and possibly a U16 girls' or mixed division. DiscNW is not sending U16 teams to YCC in 2012. However, any Seattle club team may apply to attend. Applications are due on Friday, March 2.

As Seattle area schools prepare for the youth Ultimate season this spring, many are in need of coaches. Please support the growth of youth Ultimate in Seattle, and coach a team. There are paid and volunteer positions, middle and high school, public and private, coed and single gender. Jobs are listed on the DiscNW Coaches' Info page and on the DiscNW youth forum.
