High School Ultimate in the Boston Globe
New high school teams got some great coverage in the Boston Globe metro Southwest section on November 18. Check it out here .
Bring Ultimate to your School
As I edited the master database list of teams, entering new registrations and deleting old ones, it seemed like I was removing just as many teams (if not more) than I was adding. Where do these teams go, why don't they survive more than a few years? Lack of institutional support and awareness of Ultimate among students are likely the biggest contributing factors. Getting more people playing at your school can really help ensure the long-term survival of your team.BUDA supports this through its Youth Program.
