<br>Field Day is a fundraising event to support the Youth Development Fund. Everyone - from seasoned veterans to beginners, from professional players to Verns League players to Spring Elementary School League players - is encouraged to play in this fun event! Bring your friends, parents, nieces, and nephews and introduce them to this awesome sport while supporting DiscNW's youth ultimate programming throughout the region.<br>
<br>In addition to the Ultimate games in the morning, we will provide a picnic lunch and carnival/skills games in the afternoon. . .with prizes!<br><br>The event will take place from 9am to 3:30pm at Magnuson Park Sports Meadow. Players should arrive at 8:30am to warm up and sign in.<br>
<br><br><br><b>3. Youth Leadership Camp</b><br><a href="http://www.discnw.org/events/LeadershipCamp/">http://www.discnw.org/events/LeadershipCamp/</a><br><br>Ultimate Leadership Camp is a new addition to the Seattle Youth Ultimate Camps this year! This will be a one-week single gender program to build ultimate related leadership skills for emerging 16-19 year old leaders.<br>
<br>Girls Ultimate Leadership Camp - June 23-27<br>Boys Ultimate Leadership Camp - August 18-22<br><br>Both camps run 8:30am-3:30pm each day at Magnuson. Camp fee - $275. Financial Aid is available.<br><br>The unique player-directed nature of ultimate demands leadership from each and every member of a team. Ultimate Leadership Camp will develop the skills that player-leaders need: leading by example, providing peer-to-peer feedback, speaking in huddles, running drills and more. During the morning half of each day, students will have an opportunity to learn practical skills, practicing them first through role-playing and walk-throughs, and then actually using these skills as leaders of middle-school students involved in the Seattle Youth Ultimate Camps. Each practical experience will be followed by discussion and reflection. During lunch throughout the week, campers will have a convocation with an experienced adult leader from the Seattle ultimate community. Afternoons during camp will focus on a traditional ultimate practice that will simultaneously improve playing and leadership skills.<br>
<br><br><br></div><b>4. Painted Lines on the Sports Meadow<br></b><br></div>This summer, there will be yellow ultimate field lines painted on the grass Sports Meadow at Magnuson Park!
