Hi BD,
One of the big points where we lose people from our sport is directly after
University - a lot of the people who play at Uni graduate, then say to
themselves "There's no club near where my parents / my new job", or "The
only club near me is for really experienced people, they won't want me".
Now, I know there's already a "Clubfinder" on the UKUA website, but it's not
particularly friendly. I'm proposing to put something in the Fresher's
Packs CD that Lookfly / Roadie Films put together - it's the most direct way
of getting info to students.
We'll be putting in a "Where to play Ultimate over the summer holidays"
section. Ideally, I'd like a brief paragraph on each club in the country in
there. This should contain:
Club name
Normal training location(s) and times
Perceived geographical catchment area
Attitude to complete beginners ("We coach people from beginner level / we're
only for experienced players"
Attitude to inexperienced players (only played Uni ultimate)
Contact email addresses and phone numbers
Divisions the club plays in (Open, mixed, women's, Juniors)
plus any other information you might feel is useful.
Please email me with a brief description of your club, and look forward to a
flood of students coming to your practices.
Dominic
