Divisions

For our on-field ultimate sessions, we’ll organize players in divisions based on (a) what Grade they're in, and (b) the Experience they indicated in registration. We'll start off with one set of groupings and then coaches will make adjustments.

If a player ends up in Division that does not seem like a good fit, then we will move them up/down in order to improve the experience for everyone.

Which Experience level should I select?

Players new to ultimate should indicate this by choosing Beginner when registering.

If your player has similar experience compared to their classmates, choose Intermediate.

Choose Advanced if your player is a top performer in their grade, and perhaps competes on a Seven Hills or USA Ultimate YCC team.

If you’re not sure which division to register for, choose Intermediate and don't stress about it too much. We also also use Grade to organized divisions, and once we see how kids are doing on the first day, it's easy to rearrange kids if need be.

Can I sign up with friends or teammates?

For starters, players who are in the same grade and who register with the same Experience will default to the same group.

If it's important for your kid to be buddied with a player in a different grade or Experience level, we can support that. -> Use the "Friends or Teammates" field when you register to describe the situation.

We'll do our best to honor these requests, along with with the divisions that each kid is registered for. In the the event that these two factors contradict, we will use our best judgement and we may also ask players, "would you rather be with your friends, or in a division that's a better fit for you?"

In order to make the experience good for everyone, we reserve the right to separate players if they're being a distraction to the group.
