Andover Youth Services is excited to reintroduce and oversee the boys and girls high school Varsity Ultimate teams starting this spring! We are opening up registration to 8th grade athletes as well to participate starting this season!The fee for the season of $250/athlete will include the fee for coaches, use of facilities, team uniforms, transportation costs with our own shuttles and the team registration for USA Ultimate. We will also be hosting a kick off team dinner and end of the year banquet including senior gifts, awards, and accolades that will be given out at the banquet. Individual athletes will need to register themselves through www.usaultimate.org for a new or renewal of membership through the organization. The fee for each athlete is $40 that will need to be paid for separately. We will be looking to have some parent volunteer to help our coach for both the girls and boys team during games to coordinate throughout the season as well as assisting on our shuttles that will be used to travel for away games. If you are available and interested in helping the team, that would be much appreciated. Please make sure to check off in the question section of registration that you would like to volunteer.
