2. OLYMPIA SPRING LEAGUE<br><br>***Registration is now open***<br><br>This is a co-ed league facilitated by South Sound Ultimate Players for players of all skill levels from beginner to
veteran. Registration for the league is done as an individual and once
registration is complete everyone will be placed on one of six teams.
All the teams play at the same time, which makes car-pooling convenient.
<br><br>Registration is open for Olympia's 2011 Ultimate Frisbee Spring League. All the games will be taking place at LBA Park on Sundays at 5:30 p.m. from April 17 through June 12.
