For the first time ever, on the back of the success of our summer youth programming, WODS will be running youth programming for 12-18 year olds through our Fall Season.
This program is intended to introduce youth to playing the game of Ultimate. Whether that is building on foundation skills from the summer or a first introduction to the sport, this program is a guided opportunity for youth to expand their enjoyment of ultimate frisbee and prepare them for playing the game with friends, at school, and in future leagues.
Format:
- 6 week seasons
- September 19th to October 31st
- $40 per child
- Monday Nights | 6:30-8:00 (No game on Thanksgiving)
- Fee assistance is available for players who would like to participate in WODS’ league programs but who may not have the financial means to do so, including due to COVID hardship. Please contact Hannah, our president, at president@wods.ca for more information.
Location: Woodside Park, Kitchener
Coaching Structure
-
Each age group has a head coach to direct activities and drills, with assistants spread around to maintain supervision and support. Players will receive a disc and jersey.
Parents are invited to meet the coaches on the first night. Signed waivers must be brought to the coaches before athletes step onto the field. Electronic copies of program documents will be provided via email approximately one week before the season starts. For more information, please contact youth@wods.ca.
