WHAT:
We are back with LAOUT’s 28th Annual St. Pat’s Hat tournament! The St. Pat’s Hat tradition was started by Mo way back in 1995. SPH is a 2-day coed hat tournament (each player signs up as an individual and is assigned to a team for the weekend). You must pre-register, pre-pay and bring your spirit of the game in order to play.
WHY:
To help spread the fun of Ultimate with old and new friends. And to celebrate a LAOUT institution older than even Summer League!
WHEN:
Saturday & Sunday March 16th & 17th, 2024. Rough event schedule:
- All tourney meeting at 9:30AM on Saturday
- Games start at 10:00AM and run until 4:30PM on Saturday
- Games are expected to start at 10:00AM on Sunday and usually end around 2:00-4:00 depending on placement
WHERE:
Saturday: Hjelte Sports Center at 16200 Burbank Blvd, Encino, CA 91436
Sunday: Van Nuys – Sherman Oaks Recreation at 14201 Huston St, Sherman Oaks, CA, 91423
EXTRAS:
- Field water (bring your own bottles) will be provided on Saturday & Sunday. Please bring your bottle full of water to start each day as the hose hookup has been broken for a while out there so our water supply will be limited.
- Pots of Gold: if all seven players on your team touch the disc in the same possession leading to a score, then each member gets to test their luck reaching into the leprechaun’s bag of tricks and treasure.
- Food and post-game activities TBA!
