Details for the open mixer / hat tournament / tryout on Saturday

Thanks to everyone who’s already signed up for the mixer this Saturday.  We’re excited to kick the season off this weekend with some good, high-level ultimate with friends!

Details:
When: 10am – 3pm Saturday, April 7th
What to bring: cleats, a disk, a light shirt, a dark shirt, enough water for yourself, and maybe a snack (if that wasn’t clear, food and water will not be provided)
Approximate schedule:
10am – arrive, get cleats on
10:10am – bring it in, introductions, logistics, break up into teams
10:25am – warm up in teams
10:40am – let’s get playing already!
3pm – high fives, enjoy the rest of the day
What to expect:
The format will be a round-robin, and we’ll randomly distribute people to teams captained by Revolver players.
Information for tryouts:
There will be representatives from several bay area open teams at the mixer, including Boost/new team, Wolf, and the Journeymen, so you’ll get a chance to showcase your stuff to several teams at once.  The captains for each team will ask to see who’s trying out at the beginning of the day so we can pay more attention to those people.
Revolver is primarily interested in players with the following abilities, in this order:
– athleticism and speed
– defensive skill / ability to generate Ds
– ability to set and break good marks
– on O, conservatism with the disc and ability to get open on athletic defenders
Questions?  Comments?  Suggestions?  Let us know and we’ll try address them.
Thanks,
Revolver 2012 leadership

Busy weekend

This weekend marks the opening of tryouts with the men’s mixer at Roble Field on Stanford campus, from 10:00a-1:30p on Saturday. Revolver will be joined by other Bay Area teams Wolf, the Journeymen, and Flying Circus in hosting the event. The attendees that stand out will be invited to join Revolver at future closed tryout sessions if they desire.

Also, best of luck to current and ex-Revolver members at Southwest Regionals in nearby Morgan Hill this weekend, as well as the alma maters of many other teammates (Stanford, UC Davis, and UC Santa Barbara):
UC Santa Cruz Slugs: coach Daryl Nounnan (’06-’09), players Cassidy Rasmussen (’09-pres) and Russell Wynne (’10-pres)
Cal-Berkeley: coach Alex “Dutchy” Ghesquiere (’08-pres), player Sam Kanner (’10-pres)
