[Youth-announce] PART II - Late Spring Northwest Youth Ultimate News

[Wynne Scherf]

Hello Again, Northwest Youth Ultimate Enthusiasts!

I am embarrassed to say that I forgot to mention TWO excellent upcoming
summer learning opportunities:
*
*Seattle Youth Ultimate Camps
Registration is now open at
http://www.discnw.org/events/SeattleUltimateCamps.html  Sessions for
players ages 8-9, 10-11, 12-13, and high school.  Sessions take place at
Magnuson Park on June 18-22, June 25-29, and August 13-17, all from 9am to
3pm.*

*Seattle Riot Women's Clinic
his June 24 event is open to women and girls of all ages and skill levels.
This is the 17th year of the clinic, run by the Seattle club women's team
Riot, in partnership with DiscNW.  Learn more and register at
http://www.discnw.org/events/RiotWomensClinic.html

Sorry to fill up your inbox!  I guess am making up for the fact that I
haven't emailed the list since January.  : )

Warm Regards,

Wynne Scherf
