JUNIOR ULTIMATE FORUM

The Junior Ultimate Forum consists of representatives (coaches or juniors) from active junior teams within the UK. It has been formed to help distribute the work of considering bids for junior tournaments, rules and eligibility; so that we can achieve even MORE in the UK Junior Ultimate scene. If your team isn't represented, then please put yourself forward to be on this group following the link and becoming a member. http://www.freeyabb.com/juniors/index.php?mforum=juniors
