Detailed Year Long Description

Picture
Our activities can most easily be broken down into the four seasons of a yearly calendar. Because school begins in the Fall, we will begin with Fall.

Fall (September - November)
Fall ultimate is primarily focused on introducing new players to the sport in a relaxed, fun focused environment.
  • We practice outdoors three times a week (Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday) 
    from 3:00-5:00pm at CGHS to teach the basics of Ultimate. Players of all ages and experience levels are mixed together.
  • Fridays are used exclusively for scrimmaging among ourselves.
  • Older players are typically invited to one, optional, weekend long, adult level tournament for extra practice.
  • Girls and Middle Schoolers also attend one developmental tournament in the Fall. 
                                                                                                                                                       
Winter (December - February)
The primary activity during the winter is our indoor league at The Gathering Place.
  • We participate in an interscholastic, indoor league at The Gathering Place on Main Street on Monday and Wednesday nights. This league is the first activity of the year that requires a payment. Players receive coaching and a jersey.
  • All of our players are evenly spread over six teams of equal skill so that everyone can learn and begin competing against other high schools. Each team plays one game per week.
  • We also have weight lifting and conditioning at CGHS after school on Mondays-Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3:00-5:00pm that is optional, but highly encouraged and required for those wanting to make A-team in the spring.

Spring (March - May)
Spring is the most competitive, travel portion of our year.
  • Players are now selected for boys A, B, Freshmen, and Girls teams based on attendance, attitude, and ability level.
  • All teams resume their Fall practice schedule (boys Tuesday, Thursday, Friday; girls Monday, Wednesday)
  • We travel around the state/midwest (depending on your team) to compete in weekend long tournaments. Tournaments include regular season events, hosted by USA Ultimate and end with the Indiana High School State Championship and the Central Regional Championships. Typically tournaments have four games on Saturday and three games on Sunday, and require overnight stays if the fields are located over an hour and a half away. Travel and lodging is always organized by the club and is included in the fees to join the team in the spring. For the current tournament schedule for each team, click here. 

Summer (July - August)
The Indiana Ultimate Foundations offers two, summer leagues that are optional for our players but great opportunities for those who wish to continue playing over the summer, for fun and for extra practice.
  • IUF Youth Leagues takes place at World Sports Park, with games twice a week for six weeks. Those wishing to continue, are then able to tryout for the IUF youth club teams in the U19 boys, U19 mixed, and U16 boys division and compete at the Youth Club Championships in Blaine, Minnesota against the best city and state based all-star teams in the country.
  • IUF Adult League, Indy Summer League, takes place at World Sports Park. This league boasts approximately 280 players and 14 teams, with Indianapolis Alleycats captaining each team. This league is recommended only for CG players who have already played two seasons of high school ultimate. Indy Summer League has an awesome atmospheric mix of competitive play, learning from experience adult players, and a friendly enviroment. The league runs for 13 weeks, and concludes with an all day tournament and cookout.
