Durham Elementary Ultimate Tournament (CUPA-VC Ultimate Junior Innovation Grant)

Last year's Durham Ultimate Elementary Tournament (DUET) was a great success. Twelve schools participated and over 150 grade 6, 7, and 8 students had an amazing time. Spirit of the Game was demonstrated by all participants, coaches, and parents. This tournament helped to teach a new generation of Ultimate players about fair play and respect. We plan on hosting another DUET in June hoping to add several more schools and many new players. The tournament organizers would like to thank CUPA and all of the sponsors that made this possible. We look forward to working with all of you again this year.

UltimAction Initiate More than 600 Kids this Summer!

In collaboration with the Unité Régionale Loisir et Sport de Québec (URLS de Québec), UltimAction, supported by the Mauvaises Herbes Ultimate Club (MHUC), allowed more than 600 kids from 10 to 15 years of various holiday camps of the area of Quebec to be initiated to the sport of Ultimate within the program Mes 1er Jeux (http://www.ultimaction.com/visite_ecole.php).

During the workshops of 90 minutes, it was possible for the kids to discover the techniques of throwing, the offensive and defensive strategies, and the concept of no referees. Among the 17 sports presented at Mes 1er Jeux, UltimAction is the organisation which initiated the most youth this summer, after Ping-Pong. The experience will be repeated indoor in January. Visit www.ultimaction.com for more details.

UltimAction initie plus de 600 jeunes initiés au Ultimate !

Grâce à l'Unité Régionale Loisir et Sport de Québec (URLS de Québec), UltimAction, supporté par le Mauvaises Herbes Ultimate Club (MHUC), a permis à plus de 600 jeunes de 10 à 15 ans de différents camps de vacances de la région de Québec d’être initiés au Ultimate dans le cadre de l’activité Mes 1er Jeux (http://www.ultimaction.com/visite_ecole.php).

Les ateliers d’une durée moyenne de 90 minutes permettaient aux jeunes de découvrir les techniques de lancers, les principes de l’offensive, de la défensive ainsi que l’auto-arbitrage. Parmi les 17 sports présentés à Mes 1er Jeux, UltimAction est l’organisme qui a initié le plus de jeunes cet été, après le ping-pong de table. L’expérience se répètera à l’intérieur à partir de janvier. Visitez www.ultimaction.com pour plus de détails.
