Vortex 2010 – Update

The Vortex Junior Ultimate Club is pleased to announce that they have teamed up with the BCDSS in supporting this summers Ultimate program under the BC All Stars East name (for now).  We have identified our coaches for this year including Mr. Momeyer from Fraser Heights, Ms. Meyer from Fraser Valley Christian and Maria Chau from UBC.  The group combines to provide an excellent combination of experience at playing and coaching Ultimate.  Registration for tryouts is currently being accepted on the BCDSS Upcoming Events page ( http://www.bcdss.bc.ca/events/index.html ). 

After finishing 2nd in Canada last year, we have a number of players graduating or moving on to play with Team Canada this summer leaving us with lots of openings.  Registration must be completed by May 30th.  Tryouts are scheduled for Tues June 1st and Thurs June 3rd between 6pm and 9pm at the North Surrey Secondary School oval.  Almost all practices this summer will be at fields in north Surrey.  We will be playing in at least 3 tournaments this summer, so come on out and play.

2009 Coach of the Year – Reg Gabriel

Congratulations to Reg Gabriel (formerly of Rick Hansen) for having been named the 2009 Coach of the Year by Ultimate Canada! Reg has been a real lifeline for ultimate in the Fraser Valley since the mid-1990s, and certainly without his efforts the success of the FVJUL might have never happened.
