Revolver 2012 Pre-Season

Revolver will start the very exciting 2012 campaign on April 7th when we co-host an open hat tournament alongside organizers of a new Open club team from the Bay Area. The Hat tournament will be at Sandhill fields at Stanford starting at 10am, please fill out the form on the left sidebar if you are interested so we can get a sense of numbers.

For interested players, our Worlds roster is largely set and we are unlikely to have any spots available for the trip to Japan. However – true to our team values – we will have a tryout for all spots our 2012 clubs roster. We welcome any interested players to contact us and let us know if you are interested in the tryout process. We will have invitation-only tryout events on April 8th, and the weekends of April 14th, May 5th, May 19th, and at Flowerbowl on June 2nd.

We are excited to get 2012 started, this is going to be a huge year for Revolver and Team USA!

THIS WEEKEND – Revolver/Fury host youth camp!

It’s spring and the weather is finally realizing we live in California. All the more reason to to grab every youth player you know (or grab your friends if you ARE a youth player), and come out to the youth clinic being held THIS WEEKEND at Foothill High School in Pleasanton starting at 10:30am (running about 4 hours).

National/World champions Revolver and Fury will be acting as instructors, and we’ll mix up teaching, drills, and playing for a fun time. We’ll also be handing out some Ultimate paraphernalia and looking for up-and-coming stars!

Hope to see MANY excited players out there!

Bart Watson wins Farricker Spirit Award

Congratulations to Revolver’s Bart Watson who wins the 2010 Farricker Spirit Award.
This award is given to the player in the open division of the USA Ultimate’s Club Championship Series adjudged to have exhibited personal responsibility, integrity, and fairness combined with a high standard of playing ability.

Revolver submitted this statement on behalf of Bart Watson:

Revolver would like to nominate Bart Watson for the Farricker Spirit Award. He combines spirit and respect with success at the highest level. Bart has won College Nationals (Stanford: 2002), World Games (Team USA: 2005, 2009), Club Nationals (Jam: 2008), and World Ultimate Club Championships (Revolver: 2010). The writeup on USAUltimate.com on Mixed World games points to Bart as having an “MVP performance” throughout the tournament — this same statement would be true for nearly every team Bart has played on.

As one of the most visible players of our time, he has a special responsibility to embody Spirit of the Game, and he does in spades. He is a leader on every team he has played for from Winter League to World Champion teams, and leads by example in all aspects of the game.  He maintains his easy-going, kind, Iowa-native demeanor on and off the field, and Revolver is proud to have him as Captain and as our Farricker nominee.
