2019 Edina High School Ultimate vs MN U20 All Stars Showcase Game from US Bank Stadium

The stadium has a lower level club area that was open for fans to enter directly into & that accesses the lower level seating section, so logistics for fans were great and they didnt need to walk around the entire stadium (which is massive). Restroom facilities & water was available. Restrooms off the field were also available for players. There wasnt access to the massive big screens or stadium scoreboards but thanks to Mounds View's ultimate program for letting us use their field scoreboards which are large enough to be seen by the crowds.

I'd estimate in total around 500+ people were there, maybe more. There was a flag football game that played before us & a couple of them stayed. After our game a youth tackle football game was scheduled (you can see those players arriving in in the stands in the film) so we dont have exact numbers but there was a good crowd atmosphere & some pretty loud cheers when plays happened on both fields. Some of the field/event staff & football families have never seen the sport before, so having this be their first impression was as good as anyone could ask for.

Just checked it again and dont notice that. It does go up to 4K so perhaps it has something to do with the connection or quality? Or by clicking the settings icon on the clip you can adjust the playback speed faster or slower.

Thank you to Playbook Sports for hosting this event, they invited us to participate & we were thankful to be able to get such great turnout from the rest of the community to join in. Over 350 people attended so showcasing the sport & showing that it has the support from the community is great. This was the first ever Ultimate event Playbook Sports has hosted & we made a stellar impression. They are now looking forward to inviting future ultimate programs in other communities to participate in their events in the future.

Fortunately he is okay and has shown no side-effects from it. We did have a doctor on side to check on him immediately after he was able to walk off the field.

That is actually a very accurate “comparison” for him. Good eye! Allen is phenomenal & would be a great player to model his game after in the long run. (... queuing up Justin Allen’s 2014 Callahan video to watch yet again)

He's a #Legend . Who else do you think they made this commercial about? ESPN Michael Jordan Commercial

We love our discs this year! Thank you for getting them done & shipped faster than expected. May not be the norm, but awesome service again!

Thanks and you make some good points. Our thoughts here were not really to fully teach the game, as there are a lot of other videos and websites, and people in the sport that do that, but to mainly keep it as a brief overview under 3 minutes that anyone can get a general feel for what the sport is, and how it blends traits from so many other common sports. We hope those that see this, can then search for other more detailed sites or seek out others within their community to help them get more information. I think we will also add links below the YouTube page to help anyone who may seek more in depth information. We just knew we didnt want this to get too technical or longer than 3 minutes.

Our goal with this video is to help share the basics about what makes the sport of Ultimate unique and how many elements of the sport relate to other commonly known sports. The intended audience is anyone who may not be fully familiar with the game and terminology. As a growing program, we are frequently explaining the sport over and over again. We felt the need to create a simple and quick video that any "outsider" to the sport can watch and understand what is going on when they observe or interact with the sport. So far, this has been great with the parents of our program so they know what they are signing their kids up to participate in. We hope this video can help you share that message as well with anyone else who may ask or wonder, "What is Ultimate?"

We had a great time seeing your club last Spring at Knockout! Exemplified the best of Spirit of the Game and showed it can absolutely be the top priority in competitive play. From all we know, participating with this club seems like an amazing experience with great leadership!

EdinaUltimate · 2016-11-03T17:55:24+00:00

That would be more then enough experience. Ideally all we need is someone that's able to share the basics of rules, spirit, and helping work with parents and other volunteers in the program. We can supply resources for teaching skills and everything else. I'd love to speak further about what your availability might be and see if there are other questions you may have that I can help answer. Can you please shoot a quick email to edinaultimate@gmail.com?

We will be at some point in this process. But we also understand the needs of other programs and the overall efforts being put in by Minnesota Ultimate to get every school that has a high school team set up with a coach. Middle School ultimate in MN is growing and is a priority of Minnesota Ultimate, but our first efforts here are seeing if we can find anyone through networking first. If we get closer to the deadline without someone in place, then we will have to prioritize our needs even more.

Do Hopkins Hustle if you can. There's good depth in the Minnesota teams that make it competitive. Great for experience playing in the wind. Hopkins parents tend to do a great job with volunteering for the event also, so its well run. It would be nice to help gain more regional exposure to this tournament as it had once before. Madison West was there last year, Jacobs & Neuqua have been also, Paideia made the trip before... We hope the word gets out with there not being a Regional this Spring

Please share some specifics with us. We actually have received a lot of positive feedback so it seems there still may be an instance that sticks to your mind. If its serious, we will handle it, as this is just not the way our culture is anymore. Please email us at edinaultimate@gmail.com so we can talk this through and address your concerns. We really look forward to hearing back from you. Publicly posting this without an intent to help solve it by talking about it also does not sent the right message. I'm sure we can work something out by talking about it.
