Just wanted to drop everyone a line and let you know that you will hear from me by mid week this week. Life has been a little busy with the UNC women's team (I coach them) as they just had regionals and now we are preparing to make the trip to Boulder for Nationals.
Thanks for you patience!

Coach's Meeting
A formal coach's meeting will be occurring at the Spring Carnival. Itinerary and exact time/location to be announced at a later date. If you are interested in being a coach, please do not hesitate to email: tyuleague@gmail.com. Your commitment level can be minimal or substantial. The team you would be coaching would be geographically close to you and if your commitment level is minimal we would look to pair you with another coach that can give more.
Games would be 1x/week with skipping holiday weeks. How much you practice is up to you and your team.

TYUL + TFDA = SUCCESS
The Triangle Youth Ultimate League is officially teaming up with Triangle Flying Disc Association. The benefits of the two teaming up are endless, but here are a few very important ones:
Positives for TYUL:
1. Tech support - not the TYUL Director's forte - registration, website
2. TFDA community support - liasons to school districts, coaches, supporters
3. Eventual usage of Ultiplex
4. Exposure at events like the Carnival
Positives for TFDA
1. Increased exposure in triangle community
2. Increased support of Ultiplex

Current Happenings
1. Woodcroft Fields are available but I need to submit a proposal for use by next week. They have board meetings once a month and their next one is next Tuesday. Keep our fingers crossed it will get approved.
2. Budget has been 95% finalized. Approximately $40 per player will get them a 8 week season (with fields that cost money), a disc, jersey, and a end of year cookout.
3. I am going to attend the TFDA board meeting on April 7, 2008 to discuss TFDA's involvment.
4. I have been speaking with the directors of the youth leagues in Seattle, WA. WOW. that is really all I have to say right now. We can do a lot by just attempting to model them.
5. This Thursday (April 3, 2008) is the monthly high school meeting. I may have flyers and a plan of attack for distributing flyers (schools, YMCAs, rec centers, etc) ready. I am hoping for good numbers at the meeting.
6. An ad is being placed in Community Sports News for both Chapel Hill and Durham. That will be seen in the April 16th edition in Chapel Hill and the April 23rd edition in Durham. I have asked a few creative friends to come up with a logo for the league. I still need to find a good paper for Raleigh.
7. Website? I am hoping, praying that Dwayne is able to put something together for registration. I have a little while before I need the rest (schedule, rosters, results, etc).
