Spring Season: We will have four practice sessions each week to prepare the players for games and tournaments. Consistent commitment to each practice is expected. Players who demonstrate strong attendance will earn more playing time in games and tournaments.
Fall Season: We will have two practices sessions each week, Our fall season consists mostly of training. So we will be working on our individual skill goals, as well as goals as a team. We will most likely have some friendly scrimmages with other teams, and do lots of fun drills and frisbee games. Fall Season is perfect for beginners because it is a small time commitment and a welcoming and low-stakes environment. Whether you've never picked up a disc or you've been playing for as long as you can remember, fall season is a great place for everyone to learn and improve.
The club is not sponsored by the Acton-Boxborough school district and is run by team volunteers, which helps keep fee low-approximately $300 per year. Aside from the required USAU membership fee, this local playing fee covers coaches, field rental, equipment, liability insurance, jerseys and tournaments costs.
Ride could be arranged on weekday at AB High School Senior Parking lot - near the entrance to swimming pool on side of the building.

We usually compete at two tournaments in spring. Pioneer Valley Invitational (PVI) and MA HS State Championship. Both happen in May or early June at the same field (Northampton , MA). PVI is usually a two day event with an option of staying overnight near the field.
