Before everybody scatters to the wind for Spring Break, I wanted to let you know that in early April we will be resuming our pick-up Ultimate games on Sawyer Field on Tuesdays at 6:15.
These will be informal games for players of all ability/experience levels—separate from those played by our new Ultimate team—open to anybody in the Williston community. If you’ve always wanted to play, but haven’t dared, this might be a good opportunity to “get your feet wet.”
Hope to see how out there some warm Spring evening…
