Sign up for the Falmouth Rogue summer camp!

We’re super excited to be running our first summer camp this year with the Falmouth Rec. Department. Our day- camp will run from 9am to 1:30pm Monday through Thursday the week of June 26 and will feature a lot of fun ultimate, disc sports, and ice cream. You can sign up here. The cost of the camp is $185; campers will get a disc and a reversible jersey. Scholarship funds are available for any family in need- finances should NEVER get in the way of a kid playing ultimate.

Roll Falmouth!

Register for the 2023 Travel team!

It’s time for another awesome and exciting season with Falmouth Rogue! This year marks the 11th year that Falmouth has had a youth ultimate team and is my tenth year leading up the program, and I am about as excited as can be.

I spent all last week teaching the kids in Falmouth how to play ultimate in their gym classes and I know there are a lot of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders looking forward to playing more of the sport this spring. Here is how our 2023 season is going to roll out:

Kids have two options for playing ultimate in Falmouth this spring- they can join either the Intramural team or the Travel team. The Intramural team starts playing in May and will be meeting twice a week on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to play against one another.

The Travel team is for players who want to play ultimate as their main sport and will be meeting four times per week in our regular season and on weekends in April. The Travel team starts practicing on Saturday morning and Sunday afternoons in April before moving outside to a four-day-per-week schedule in May, once the fields dry out and we can run around on the grass. The Travel team also gets uniforms and plays regularly scheduled games against other towns like Portland, Gorham, South Portland, and Cape Elizabeth.

One fun feature of our schedule is that players on the Intramural and Travel teams will be playing all together on Intramural days, with the other days of the week for travel-only practices and games.

In summation, it looks a little like this:

April:

  • Travel team practices indoors on Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons.

May:

  • Intramural team starts playing on Tuesdays and Wednesdays once the grass is dry. Travel team players join in with the Intramural program on Mondays and Thursdays while also meeting to play against other towns and and to practice separately on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

June:

  • Both programs wrap up with an in-town hat tournament/ice cream party where all the Falmouth kids get put on random teams and play against one another for an hour or so before eating too much ice cream.

If your player is going to join the Intramural team, you do NOT need to sign up yet. Intramural team sign-ups start in April after our Travel program begins.

If your player is going to join the Travel team, you DO need to sign up now. You can click here to begin that process.

If you have any questions about the program or how things work, do not hesitate to email me at SheaGunther@gmail.com.

Information for new parents

Welcome new parents!

I’ve been teaching lots of kids how to play ultimate this week at Falmouth Elementary (big thanks to Mr. Sprague!), so I wanted to share some quick basic information for parents who kids might be interested in playing ultimate.

We have two basic programs for kids to choose from, depending on their grade level. Our intramural program is for students in the 3rd-8th grades and is just one day-a-week, starting up in May when we can get outside to play on the grass. Intramural runs from 6-7:30pm on Wednesdays and is for kids who play other sports or who just want to play a little bit of ultimate. It’s relaxed and mellow and focused on fun.

Our travel program, also known as Falmouth Rogue, is for kids in the 4th-8th grades who want to play and learn more about the fine points of ultimate. Kids do not need to try out for the travel team nor do they need previous experience playing- the travel team is for kids who just want to play more. The travel team starts up in April, with weekend practices, before transitioning to a four-day-per week schedule in May. Travel team players either practice or play games against other towns Monday through Thursday, though on Wednesday the travel players just play in the intramural program, so that’s their easier day in the week.

There is more running and training involved with the travel team and we generally expect travel players to take the game more seriously, even while we’re having lots of fun getting awesome. Travel players also get uniforms and hats and more frisbees. We also expect that travel players do not play other sports during the season, or if they do, they make ultimate a priority if there is ever a conflict.

There is one tournament for the travel team in Amherst, Massachusetts in the middle of May, but otherwise we play against local teams, so there isn’t actually that much travel to the travel team.

Another important note is that sign-ups for the travel team close out on Tuesday, March 29th, after which time registration for intramural opens. There is no deadline to sign up for the intramural team.

Sign ups now open for Intramural!
