Welcome

Welcome to Happy Valley Ultimate (HVU). If you like a casual game of co-ed pick-up that involves all levels of play and encourages a social atmosphere, Happy Valley Ultimate pick-up games are for you. We meet three days a week from spring to fall, and our main priority is to have fun and help others learn the game of ultimate frisbee. For more information on these pick-up games, read below, contact Brian, or subscribe to our mailing list.

Pickup

Below are the pick-up times for 2008. This year, we are not changing pickup times once the summer league starts. We will be playing Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays throughout the spring, summer, and fall. As long as the temperature's above 50 and it's not raining, we'll be out there! If you're not sure if the weather's good enough, feel free to email the entire group to see who's planning on showing up. Typically, the pickup "season" runs from the beginning of April through the end of October.

We play on the State College Community Fields which are located on South Atherton Street just across from Hamilton Square Plaza on Hamilton Street. If the field closest to South Gill Street (just below the tennis courts) is being used, the field closest to Atherton Street is usually open and should be used as an alternate meeting place.

This year, we will not be following Ultimate Standard Time (UST). We have dedicated group of volunteers that is committed to setting up cones at 6:00 on Tuesdays and Fridays and 1:00 on Sundays. Come early if you want to warm up, or arrive right on time to dive into the action! Don't forget to bring a light and a dark colored shirt (no grays!) so that we can make even teams.

Tourneys

Beginning this year, HVU will host two tournaments for ultimate players. The first tournament will be in April to kick start the beginning of the pickup season. The second tournament will be at the beginning of fall, a week or two after summer league is over. We're hoping to give people some rest after a long summer of pickup and summer, then get back to the fun of ultimate in the fall. Dates and times will be posted soon...
