LeedsLeedsLeeds Ultimate

LeedsLeedsLeeds invite all competent, driven Ultimate players to a series of trials before the New Year. Unlike this past year, LeedsLeedsLeeds are only looking to send one team to the Tour season, with the intent of once more qualifying for EUCF and defending the Spirit title received a month ago in Basel.
As such, we are offering:
* the opportunity for personal development with an experienced group of players sporting multiple UKUA coaching awards
* a well defined training schedule to meet team and individual goals

* a positive team focus across the season
* the chance to join an elite team competing in European tournaments.

Three trials will be run at Kirkstall rugby academy:

on the 24th of November, the 8th of December & the 15th of December from 11:00 to 14:00 on each day.
Attendees will be expected to demonsrate buy in to the concepts & style of play introduced, commitment to the session, as well as a good grasp of basic skills and a high level of fitness.

If you are driving to the sessions, there is a retail park opposite the fields whose parking we've used many times, if you are coming by train, it's simplest to get the Metro out to Headingley and walk straight down the hill & over the bridge to the fields. If you're coming by any other form of transport (Darren Gough likes to use his helicopter to reach us), please let us know & we'll advise your best course of action.

We look forward to seeing you there,
The Management
