Event Details: Jerseys are an essential part of any serious sport team. Both our men’s and women’s teams participate in the South Central Division, and travel to an average of eight tournaments around the region every school year. Although Hendrix Ultimate Frisbee is a club team, we practice three to four times a week, with no off season. As a team and a student organization, we are proud of the fact that we are able to foster an inclusive community atmosphere, maintain a competitive level of play against other college teams, and even host our own annual tournament (The Hendrix Ultimate Experience). Hendrix Ultimate Frisbee will send three teams to the South Central Conference Tournament in April 2011. We believe that jerseys offer an irreplaceable sense of team unity and professionalism for our players.

Both orange and white jerseys are necessary because in tournament situations, teams must be prepared to “go white” if the opposing team’s jerseys are of the same color. We chose to order 5Ultimate jerseys this year for their quality and team discount ($18 per jersey, as opposed to the normal price of $25 per jersey). Conveniently, 5Ultimate also offers in-house screen printing that amounted to $11.50 per jersey.

The Hendrix Ultimate Frisbee Council is requesting discretionary funding to cover the price of team jerseys. The 2010-2011 school year has brought out the largest number of players that our team has ever supported. As a result, costs for traveling to tournaments have exceeded our initial expectations. We now have the amount people that demand another separate men’s team in order for members to be able to receive an appropriate amount of playing time at tournaments. This growth has stretched the budget considerably.

Thank you for your continued support of Hendrix Ultimate Frisbee. Please contact President Aymie Manning (ManningAM@hendrix.edu) or Treasurer William Haden Chomphosy (HadenchomphosyWK@hendrix.edu) for additional information or questions.
