BD / UU,
EMO will be holding a hat tournament as a selection process for the forthcoming season. EMO train in and around the Leicester/Nottingham region, currently an area lacking a top team. This season should prove to be different. If you are interested in playing with a serious team with serious ambition, please read on.
Aim:
EMO is aiming to be a major player in British ultimate. Achieving and maintaining a top 8 finish, and competing seriously against the best UK teams is our goal, with the view to qualification for WUCC Perth 2006.
We also want to spread our roots, and feed from and into other local teams. There are no Midlands based teams capable of making the top 4, but there are more than enough players. Now is your chance to play at that level.
How?:
EMO are changing - there will be a single squad, a single team, with a single goal. We mean business. Hard training and regular attendance to mid-week practices all-year-round are *obligatory*. There are already many people on the EMO roster, but all squad places are up for grabs - existing EMO players will need to prove their worth. We also acknowledge that there are fantastic players in our region who are lured by the bright lights of bigger teams. EMO will be able to provide a platform for raising the profile of ultimate in the region, so that you will always be pushed at training, no matter what level you play at.
We will also be competing in the London Winter League (LWL) this season, which will provide the top level competition during the off-season that has been missing for Midlands teams recently.
Want to be involved?
Then please come and play in our hat tournament! It's taking place in Victoria Park, Leicester, on Sunday 7th Nov. Games start at 10am sharp, so be ready for play at 9.30 at the latest to meet your team and warm up. This event will be the basis for selection for the EMO squad for the first LWL event, and for the rest of the season, but if you're injured or otherwise unable to attend please respond anyway. If you are a big player on a big team, but training locally appeals to you, please get in touch. There is no commitment at this stage, so let us know if you want to come along for a hard day's play.
Note the word "hard" - this is not a casual game or two. If you aren't going to be able to commit a lot of time and effort to this team, then find an alternative team.
If you want to play, please respond to me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) with the subject line "EMO Hat", and the following details:
Name: Current Team: Years Played: Contact e-mail address:
Also specify if you are unable to attend but are still interested.
Thanks, and I hope to see you soon.
Brummie EMO
