The 2011 SAY WHUT (Snow And You Winter Hat Ultimate Tournament) was a HUGE success!
It was held on Saturday, January 31st at the Hampton High School Football Stadium. There was record attendance with 47 participants, raising over $900 for the PHUL Scholarship! It was a great day; thanks so much to everyone who came out to support the league and its players.
The winning team is pictured above, including players representing Hampton HS, Mt. Lebanon HS, Pine-Richland HS, Mt. Lebanon Alum, Pitt, Muff n Men, and Pittsburgh seasonal leagues.
In the CPU Board Election, three new Board Members were elected to replace outgoing members and one member was re-elected. The members who were elected to the CPU Board are:

Vivek and Tracy were newly elected to 2-year terms, and Maria was re-elected to a second 2-year term. Justin Burdett was elected to a 1-year term. The four of them join Nicole Shannon as the five-member CPU Board. Special thanks to outgoing Board Members Henry Thorne, Chriss O'Lare, and Darren Shultz, whose contributions to the community have been exceptional.
PHUL is piloting a new program: Coach-for-a-day!
We realize that we have invaluable resources here in Pittsburgh, with players and leaders that support youth ultimate, but don't always have the extra time to consistently coach a team. This program is for you! We have a few teams left in the league without coaches and they are dying for help. If you can come to even just one practice, they'd love to have you.
If you are interested in seeing a schedule, please email ChristieLawry@phul-ultimate.org and we can add you to a google document with requested dates and times. From there, you can choose to sign up for one date, a few, or none at all. No pressure!
Thanks in advance,
The 2012 PHUL Administration
