Disc Nova Scotia

Disc NS is offering Learn to Play Ultimate clinics. The clinics span 3 weeks starting this Saturday (October 17) at 5 pm on field 4 of the BMO Soccer Center. Each clinic lasts 50 minutes. At each clinic, coaches will work with you on two parts of ultimate: throwing/catching and basic tactics.... The clinic will end with a 15 minute scrimmage to use what you have learned. The cost for all 3 weeks is $15 and should be e-transferred to [email protected]. We will have Covid19 waivers to sign when you arrive. Please register on this Google document for the clinics, with a maximum of 24 spots: https://docs.google.com//10SU1aOhVKwSdlnUGATw-1cxEo-/edit Signing-up is a prerequisite to gain entrance to the BMO building.

As of October 1, 2020, the province of Nova Scotia is allowing competitive play in sports for up to 50 participants (including coaches and subs). We have updated the return to play document to reflect how the province is managing access to competitive play. The updated return to play plan is at https://www.discns.ca//Retur/DiscNS_Return_to_play_v21.pdf Within that plan, play for ultimate is set to be phase 3, which allows for league-style play without additional distancing... for marking. If conditions change in the province, we will be updating the phase of play in which we belong. For indoor play, facilities will have added restrictions that we must follow. As always, keep with the spirit of the game in any play: play safely, respect the sport, and respect your fellow athletes in all cases including keeping their health safe too.
