Allen Summer League
Jun 16
Players,
Join us at the Ford Fields Thursday 7-10pm for a pickup game and new-player workshop hosted by Kristen Corpuz. Please bring a dollar to help cover the cost of reserving both fields with lights. Kristen will need some assistance from experienced players, so come out and volunteer yourselves if you’re available. She’ll be covering some basics like stacking, cutting, marking, and zone (offensive & defensive).
The draft is Wednesday night; expect an email from your new captain sometime Thursday. Drop me an line if you have any questions.
Thanks!

I have the east Ford Field reserved 7-10pm tomorrow night for pickup. Bring ONE DOLLAR, a white (not grey) shirt, and a dark shirt. This is an open pickup, but all Allen Summer League players are especially encouraged to attend.
I still have both of the Ford Fields reserved for next Thursday, when we’ll have a pickup and possibly a new-player workshop. Also remember that Allen Summer League draft registration closes THIS Friday, June 4th, at 5pm (www.allenultimate.com). There will be NO late singups.
Schedule:
June 3: Pickup on Ford Field East
June 10: Pickup on one of the Ford Fields (and possibly a new player workshop on the other field)
June 17: Summer League begins
Thanks!

Allen Pickups
May 18
This content was originally posted to the DallasUltimate listserve. If you are not on this distribution, I highly encourage you to join through YahooGroups. You will receive information on leagues, pickups, tournaments and other ultimate-related activities in the DFW area.
Pickup will be held on the Jupiter Ballfields this Thursday beginning at 7PM. We have lights so the game can go late.
We have additional pickup games scheduled before Summer League begins. I’m waiting to hear from the city on a few of these slots, but here’s the current schedule:
May 20: Pickup at the Jupiter Ballfields @ 7PM
May 27: No Allen fields available
June 3: Tentative pickup @ 7PM
June 10: Pickup on one of the Ford Fields @ 7PM (and possibly a new player workshop on the other field)
June 17: Summer League begins
The Jupiter Ballfields are on Jupiter between Bethany and McDermott. Ford Fields are on Park Place east of Jupiter. Maps to both can be found on the AllenUltimate website.
Lastly, remember that we are not allowed on any of these fields when they are not reserved. The City of Allen will press charges for trespassing.

We received an email this morning from the City of Allen regarding the illegal use of closed fields by Ultimate Frisbee players yesterday. This reflects extremely poorly on our entire community, and specifically on the burgeoning Allen League Community. The assumption is made, rightfully or wrongly, that league players were involved - because they were upset that league play for this week was cancelled. The city cancels fields after soaking rains during the early spring, because they were recently seeded (which is what makes such beautiful fields in the summer), and abuse of the soft fields can cause de-seeding and thousands of dollars in damage to city property.
City property. City rules. If you don’t like following city rules, the city will just enforce their rights to enforce their rules and start prosecuting the offenders.
Luckily, I’d like to think none of you were involved, and it was just one of the many roving bands of highschool or church group frisbee hooligans that dot the DFW landscape. I will be reassuring the city that no one in our community was involved, and more specifically this was not action by anyone in the Allen League that the city so graciously provides for us. They have been given our blessing and encouragement to begin handing out citations for trespassing and destruction of property to anyone using the fields without registering for them, and especially to anyone playing on explicitly closed athletic fields. Any league player found to be in violation will be immediately removed from the league permanently without discussion. No exceptions.
Renting the Allen Fields WITH LIGHTS is the most affordable option in the entire metroplex, and they are very accommodating for any would-be pickup players. If you need assistance in contacting the Parks and Recreation department to reserve fields, myself, Ryan Krutchfield, Tom Turner, or David Ringrose would all be more than willing to help. We would all even be more than willing to put a post about your pickup game on this website to help spread the word.
If you feel this is unfair or unreasonable, feel free to purchase your own frisbee fields and we will all come play on yours. Until that time, play by the rules or pay the price.
Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Games are canceled for tonight 25 March due to wet field conditions.
FYI, the rainout info line is 214-509-4809 and is generally updated by 4pm.
The news looks to be favorable for a beautiful day tomorrow, but we’ll need the weather gods to keep total precipitation to a minimum, as the Allen Parks and Rec folks are pretty protective of their fields
