Season starts Tuesday May 18th, 6:00 pm West River Park. Use this site to check out the COVID policies and to register (payment and paperwork).

The range for the summer season is $25 -$100. The idea is to both encourage participation for everyone and to make it easier for the organizers to pay the bills. I'm excited for this experiment and how it can help our community. Feel free to check in with me if you have any questions or feedback. The drop-in fee remains $8, and the first evening of play for newcomers to Brat Pick-up is free.</li><li>Our COVID policies can be found in more detail <a href="http://www.brattleboroultimate.org/p/covid.html">here</a>, but the basics should be pretty familiar at this point: we will wear masks for all game play and whenever we cannot be sufficiently socially distanced off the field.</li><li>And last but not least: I hope you're all as stoked as I am to finally get back on the field and chase some plastic together!</li></ul><p></p>Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01187135078067940364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5743158451059510746.post-70325111320166884822020-07-03T14:57:00.000-04:002020-07-05T13:12:48.339-04:00Ultimate in the time of COVIDBrattleboro Ultimate summer pickup has been delayed due to the pandemic, but we're getting ready to resume play on Tuesday July 7.<br />
<br />
All payments will be done online, and once USAU has a hiccup in their website fixed all the waivers will be online, too. For now, please print and sign your waivers before you come, and bring those to the field. We'll have some on-hand for those of you that don't have a printer.<br />

We're rolling right into our fall season next Tuesday, Sept 18, and playing every Tuesday through Oct 30. Drop in fee is $6/night, or $36 for all 7 weeks. That's one week free!<br />
<br />
The Brat Ulti coffers are a little low, and we've had to pay the town for the full season up front so we're strongly encouraging people to pay us for the full season right away.Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01187135078067940364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5743158451059510746.post-51946352192493470742018-06-28T15:29:00.002-04:002018-06-28T15:29:38.478-04:00No Pickup Tonight Due to WeatherSee you next week!Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01187135078067940364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5743158451059510746.post-28306538187707963222018-04-16T12:46:00.001-04:002018-04-16T12:46:51.003-04:00Start of 2018 season on Tuesday, May 15thHey there Brattleboro area Ultimate enthusiasts! The new season is coming fast. A few brief updates on what's happening:<br />
<br />
- The 2018 season starts Tuesday May 15!<br />
<br />
- To encourage people to register and pay for a full season, we are including a FREE Brattleboro Ultimate DISC for everyone who does so by the first week of the season. This helps reduce organizational work, so help us out if you can and score a sweet disc at the same time!<br />
<br />
- Times have changed a bit: warm-up is now 6:15 and game time 6:30 in an attempt to make a compromise between work schedules and limited daylight, especially at the beginning and end of the season.<br />
<br />
- Numbers have as always fluctuated the last couple years (which is as long as I've been coming), so to encourage new people to check it out, we have made the first evening free and lowered the drop-in price to $6. That being said, if you plan on coming regularly, we definitely appreciate people signing up for the whole season at once!<br />
<br />
- All the information about the new season has already been updated on this site, so check it out, get registered and get psyched for some ultimate! I look forward to seeing you all out on the field!Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5743158451059510746.post-59846776720127995192018-03-31T21:16:00.000-04:002018-03-31T21:16:34.941-04:00Volunteers Needed for the 2018 Season<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
Hello Brattleboro Ultimate People! Your help is needed!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
It's that time of year again, when Ultimate minds turn to thoughts of chasing plastic. This will be the 5th year of Brat Ulti in it's current incarnation, playing at West River Park.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I'm not going to be able to spend as much time focused on Ultimate this summer, so in order for this season to happen we're going to need a few volunteers who can regularly take turns handling registration and chaperoning each night, and mos<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">t importantly one person to:</span></div>
<ul>
<li>organize the volunteers to make sure every night is covered</li>
<li>ensure registration and money is tracked properly</li>
<li>communicate on this page and our website, including reminders for most nights, and updates like weather cancellations</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
I'll help setup things with the town and USAU to get us started, and will volunteer the nights I come to play, but I can't do as much as I have the past 4 years.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Do you want to play this summer, and are willing to help out? Please come to our first planning meeting. <a href="https://doodle.com/poll/g7tk92kacfzfea86#table">Vote here for what meeting times work for you</a>.</div>

<br />
I waited until noon to make the decision, but Wunderground says rain and thunderstorms throughout the day, intensifying this evening. I know some of us would be happy to play in the rain, but we don't play in thunderstorms and in my experience we won't get enough players when it's been rainy all day.<br />
<br />
Unlike our summer season, we don't have to pay for the field on fall nights we don't use the lights due to bad weather. I'd hate to be charged just for 4 of us to show up, shrug our shoulders, then go home.<br />
<br />
I hope to see you all next week for our final night.Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01187135078067940364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5743158451059510746.post-48529726206369125992017-10-01T21:30:00.000-04:002017-10-24T12:09:43.423-04:00FALL PICKUP STARTS THIS TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3.<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
We're playing under the lights on the softball field at West River Park, which is fantastic! It's usually a great temperature for running around without overheating. Playing in a patch of light, steam rising off of everyone, occasionally surrounded by fog, can be kind of otherworldly.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Every Tues in October, 7pm-9pm.</div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
$5/night, or $20 for all 5 weeks*. (*some risk due to weather cancellations.)</div>
