Captains’ Packet
KC12_CP
The Sister Program, the idea of our dear friend Miranda Roth, returns this year. We see this as an opportunity to give high school teams a college team to serve as their role model and mentor. We hope that high school players will find college players to emulate their game after, and we also hope to push these college players to invest in the next generation of ultimate players and spend a few moments offering support and encouragement to the next crop of superstars. We also think that this will be a FUN addition to the tournament and will be scheduling high school and college games side-by-side in order to encourage interaction between the two divisions.
We will also be hosting a skills clinic after games on Saturday. Please see below for station descriptions.
Skills clinic registration is available here.
