1. MOHO AND MINI MOHO IN FEBRUARY

MoHo and Mini MoHo are a series of *FREE* practices for high school and
middle school students respectively. They include drills and scrimmages, led
by experienced adult Ultimate players and coaches from the Seattle area. We
welcome players of all skill and experience levels. To learn more about the
history, philosophy and coaches of MoHo visit the* **MoHo pages** at:
http://www.discnw.org/youth/moho/index.html

*Participants are encouraged to pre-register, however players may register
at any time throughout the season and may attend as few or as many sessions
as they would like.

 Mini MoHo and MoHo will run simultaneously on the same fields each week at
the following times and locations:

--Sunday, February 6 from 4:30-7:30pm on Genesee Lower Soccer Field

2. GREEN GAMES

DiscNW is proud to be hosting the 2nd Annual Green Games:
http://www.discnw.org/events/greengames.html

The Green Games will take place at Charles Wright Academy in Tacoma on
Sunday, March 13. We will schedule three games for each team, with one bye
during the day.

There are three divisions:

--Middle school girls
--Middle school boys
--High school open (novice/intermediate teams)--girls are encouraged to
participate in this open division, but there is no strict gender ratio

Though the tournament is designed for school-based teams, we recognize both
that it can be difficult for new or intermediate high school teams to put
together a full team for a tournament, and that pulling together a
single-gender middle school team can also be a challenge. For that reason,
there is some flexibility to the "one school" team rule for this tournament.
We are primarily interested in growing the sport in this new city and this
new division of play. Thus, teams made up of players from more than one
school will be permitted. That being said, to maintain the integrity of
competition, please limit the number of schools represented on one team (no
all-star teams, please).

**Registration ends February 20th.**
