Beginners Tournements

As has been said before, University is still the main route many new players take into UK Ultimate. In comparison to North America, this is too late to aid true grass routes development. Making the work of the junior coaches and those visiting schools to teach all the more valuable. One can't deny that we do the best we can with what we've got however. There are a whole host of beginners tournements being promoted for the start of the new academic year. If you are already involved in your university ultimate team, make sure to get 1, 2 or even 3 teams along to as many of these tournements as you can. They are great way to get those freshers hooked who will eventually become valued players and community members.
