1. DISCNW YOUTH SUMMIT THIS SUNDAY**

Interested in helping to guide DiscNW's future youth programs?  Want to
provide feedback on current programs?  We invite all youth ultimate
players, parents, coaches, administrators, and friends to join us for the
DiscNW Youth Summit this Sunday, September 15, 1:30-6pm at the Phinney
Center (6532 Phinney Ave N).  Please help us plan by pre-registering at

2. FALL YOUTH LEAGUE UPDATES

**Middle School**

The Fall Middle School Club League starts next week, but we will accept
late registrations.  The league accepts team sign-ups only, but we will do
our best to place individuals on teams (see league webpage for more info).
Rosters need not be school-based.  Games are Tuesday and Wednesday
afternoons.  http://www.discnw.org/events/FallMSClub.html

DiscNW is again partnering with Seattle Public Schools (SPS) to run the SPS
Fall Middle School Ultimate League.  Team registration is due by this
Thursday, September 12.  Seattle Public School students should contact
their school athletic coordinator for more information on school teams.

Van Asselt, Meadowbrook, and Rainier Community Centers in Seattle are
running ultimate in the fall for youth ages 8-13.  Call the community
centers for more information.

**High School**

High school boys' school-based ultimate takes place in the fall and is
independently coordinated by the teams participating in the league (not by
DiscNW).  If you are interested in playing boys' fall ultimate, contact
Seattle Public Schools division commissioner Rusty Brown at
ghsultimate at gmail.com.

High school girls' club ultimate* *will also take place this fall or
winter.  DiscNW is gathering information on the best way to serve girls'
needs in the school teams' off-season.  If you have ideas or wishes,
contact Wynne Scherf at youth.director at discnw.org.  Look for event sign-ups
later this month.

**Elementary School**

There are tentative plans underway for a fall elementary school club
league.  Look for information in our next newsletter or at
www.discnw.orgby early September.

Van Asselt, Meadowbrook, and Rainier Community Centers in Seattle are
running ultimate in the fall for youth ages 8-13.  Call the community
centers for more information.


3. NOVEMBER 9 FALL BID AUCTION FOR YOUTH ULTIMATE

DiscNW's third annual dinner auction will take place on Saturday, November
9!  Fall Bid raises money for DiscNW's Youth Development Fund, which
finances youth activities and initiatives designed to promote the sport of
Ultimate and support the participation of underserved populations in the
sport.  If you would like to donate an item to the auction or participate
on the planning committee, please contact Wynne Scherf at
youth.director at discnw.org  Registration for the event will open very soon

4. YOUTH COACHES NEEDED LOCALLY

There are five local schools in Seattle and the Eastside currently seeking
coaches.  Most are paid positions.  For information, see DiscNW's coach job
listings at http://www.discnw.org/youth/coaches.html#Jobs  Check back
regularly; more jobs are added as they are called to our attention.
