Westshore Pick Up Ultimate is Here!
A new Westshore Ultimate Pick-Up Night will be run this spring and summer ulti season.
Here are the details:
Friday nights, 6-8 pm, starting April 29
Colwood Elementary Fields, 2129 Sooke Road (just past Royal Roads U when heading West on Sooke Road)
All are welcome, VUPS members and non-members alike, and newcomers to the sport as well!
There's a playground right beside the field for the children of young families while their parents play.
Anyone downtown is encouraged to make the "long trip to Colwood" over the course of the summer to play on a Friday evening - what better way to work off the work-week and perhaps head out for a social gathering after the game.
Looking forward to seeing lots of people playing Ulti on the Westshore!
See the Pick Up page for more information
