APPLICATION & WAIVER FORM

 

The Rhode Island Ultimate Player's Association, Inc. is pleased to announce that our 6th season of RIPUL coed ultimate frisbee will begin on Monday June 4th.  As usual, we will have a 2 week orientation/signup period that will be held on June 4, 6, 11, and 13 at 6:00 P.M.  The location is still to be determined.    

 

RIPUL stands for Rhode Island People's Ultimate League and this is truly the People's League.  League games will be every Monday and every Wednesday at 6:00 P.M., except for Wednesday July 4 and Wednesday July 25.  The 1st official game is Monday June 18th.  Summer League Playoffs will be held Saturday August 11th at Wheeler Farm in Seekonk, Mass. and there will be a party and award ceremony following.  All teams qualify for the playoffs. 

 

As an added bonus, the two top teams from RIPUL will be invited to participate in the 1st Annual Northeast Summer League Championships to be held on Saturday August 25th at Wheeler Farm.  There will be teams from Boston, Connecticut, Amherst, Maine, and New York competing.  We are very excited to host the inagural tourney.

 

1 game will be held at Moses Brown School in Providence (corner of Hope St. and Lloyd Avenue); 1 game will be at Marvel Gym on Elmgrove Ave. across from Brown Football Stadium; and the other 2 games will be at either Wheeler Farm in Seekonk, Mass. (a short 10-minute drive from the East Side) or Brown Athletic Complex across from Moses Brown on Lloyd Avenue (For those with transportation issues, let me know and we will do our best to accomodate on those nights where your team is playing in Seekonk).

 

The cost of the league will once again be $45.00.  A sweet T-shirt is included.  Sign-ups will be on a first-come, first served basis.  In order to be included in the draft, you must complete the attached application and waiver, along with a written check made payable to RIUPA, INC.  Please submit to Matthew Brier, 2 Dexter Street, Pawtucket, RI 02860 as soon as possible.  This form will also be available for download at our web site: http://www.cs.brown.edu/~lsh/ripul/ or http://www.ripul.org .

 

The draft is scheduled for Thursday, June 14th.  However, if the league is filled up you will be placed on a waiting list, with no guarantee that you will be able to play.  So, don't wait until the last minute to sign up.  Also, don't be afraid to invite friends or co-workers to join us.  If they have never played before and want to check it out, as mentioned, we will have pickup on Monday June 4th, Wednesday June 6th, Monday June 11th, and Wednesday June 13th, site to be determined. 

 

RIPUL is about more than just playing competitive disc.  It is about meeting and hanging out with new friends.  It is about enjoying a nice, cold drink after the game.  "Spirit of the Game" is a critical part of RIPUL.  So, remember, compete hard but fair on the field and let's have some FUN!!!
