Hi BD and UU,
I'm emailing round to start banter about the forming of a Manchester Open Team to start competing in Tour next year. I've waited until the end of the Tour season to send this round. Intiailly the plan is to hold some open training sessions in Manchester which would be open to all players. The intention is to gain a better understanding of the number and level of players in and around Manchester. Each session will be highly competitive with the aim of getting players used to training at a greater intensity. We have some experienced players already signed on and other expericned players willing to take some sessions throughout the year. Hopefully we will be able to use the Manchester Chevron link to coax some of the players to take some sessions also. The dates of these sessions will be decided in due course and will be likely to begin around October 2009. The aim will be to then hold trials depending on numbers in January 2010. From this there will be a squad of around 20 players and possibly depending on numbers a second team. This team intends to be pushing for the top of B-Tour in its first year. In order to achieve this it is essential to train regulary as a team. Therefore if you feel you would be unable to attend regular training sessions in Manchester then it is unlikely that you would get into the squad. We're encouraging players from all around the area; Manchester Universites, Leeds, Sheffield, Lancaster, Bangor, Nottingham etc. SO if you think you want to be part of a an awesome Manchester Open Team next year stay tuned for more information about our first session. Join the Facebook Group (Manchester Ultimate), (We'll start an e-group nearer the start of term). Also if you have any ideas of suggestions dont hesitate to email one of us or post them on the Facebook group. Its early days now but more and more will happen as we get closer to Tour next year.
