Registration for BUDA end-of-the-season tournaments is open.   Div 1 and Girls teams must all submit rosters to the appropriate tournament with the UPA.  Assuming you have already submitted a roster for the league, you may contact the UPA and ask them to copy the roster over to the appropriate tournament list.  You should get your roster in order first, though, to avoid having to edit two rosters later.   Deadline for having all rosters submitted and complete is May 23.  No paperwork will be accepted at the field the day of the tournament.

Division 1:
Devens, June 8.  Register with the following UPA-sponsored event:  "2008H MA State High School Open"  16 teams, fee $75

The BUDA HS League is now available on the UPA website for you to begin building your team roster.  Please start this process as soon as possible since you will need to have a minimum of seven players on that roster by April 7 to be eligible for post-season play.    Rosters should be complete and submitted by May 7.

Complete instructions can be found here. Also, payment is now due for the league. Please take care of this as soon as possible.

During this big thaw I’m sure thoughts are beginning to turn to the spring and the upcoming season.  There’s plenty of winter to go still, but it is time to get organized.  We have major changes and improvements planned for the spring.  The two major ones are:

Breakmark, a new apparel company, is again offering a special deal to BUDA HSUL teams.  You can get a one-color wicking jersey with a one-color logo on the front and a one-color number on the back for only $21, delivered to your door!  Discounts on other jerseys are also available.  Contact Mat at This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it for more information.  You can also view their website at www.breakmark.com

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.
