It’s an exciting time to be a woman in Atlanta ultimate and Kirsten Shell is in the center of it all. Oxygen, AWU, combines. If none of these ring a bell, you need to read on.
The name George Li may not ring a bell to many of you, but he’s an invaluable member of the AFDC Board. He’s the one working behind the scenes, heading up the committee that’s responsible for inspiring and motivating the youth of Atlanta to get involved with ultimate and become the future leaders and players that will drive our sport forward.
Women will have tiered registration in an attempt to encourage early registration and help us ensure that there are enough women for the league to function properly. Ladies, you are very important. Sign up! Early registration starts in a week!
Date Price
4/9-4/15 $85
4/16-4/22 $90
4/23-5/14 $95
Men’s registration for the mixed league will begin on 4/23 at noon and run through 5/14. The price will be $95.
Cores will be due on 5/7. On 5/14, every player on a core (as well as all women) will be activated into the league, regardless of registration timestamp. Men not on a core will be activated based on registration time stamp. There will only be 96 men’s spots available for non-cored players, so those will fill up in a hurry on 4/23. Get on a core!
Cores due 5/7.
CRM will be 5/21.
The draft will be 5/28.
You will play frisbee on 6/3.
The call for captains is up on the forum. Post there or email Rich (henry dot johnston+SL at gmail) to get your core on the list!

Summer League 14 core info:
– 16 people on cores. If you’re struggling to get to 16, let me know and I’ll put you in touch with free agents. 10 men and 6 women – you’ll need a very good reason to convince me to let you have fewer than 6 women on your core. 9/7 will be easier to convince me.
– Cored individuals will have some form of ‘preferred registration’ to make captains’ lives easier during the registration rush. More details to come, but this should be incentive for us to get 24 full cores.
– Every person on your core has to know they are on your core. Talk to them. Send them an email, phone call, telegram, whatever you want to do. You cannot randomly core some person, because that person might have agreed to be on a different core. The new upgrades to the league site will likely mandate that your core members confirm that they intend to be on your core.
– Use the 0-9 scale we always use. Then subtract 2 for men, and subtract 3 for women to get the core value. (Example : Ben Rainwater is ranked 7 on the 0-9 scale. His core value is 5. Brigette Flood is ranked 6 on the 0-9 scale. Her core value is 3.) Half ranks are ok ( 5.5, etc ). NEW: You must submit the GRank value (minus 2 or 3) for players on your core. Those can be debated on merit at CRM, but we will no longer play the game of under-ranking chicken.
– The max limit for your top 7 players is a core value of 28. This is the same as last year. Freak out.
– The limit for all of your men is 39 core points.
– The total limit for all of your 16 players is a core value of 50.
– Call for captains coming on Monday
Get excited! Summer league is just a mere 11 weeks away! There’s a lot of change happening this year and summer league is no exception. Read below for all the titillating details from our new summer league commissioner, Rich Johnston.
When people think of Samantha Stovall, they may think of her contagious smiles or just how awesome she is at ultimate. However, on top of that, she coaches the Kennesaw State girl’s ultimate team AND is USAU’s Georgia Youth Coordinator. Crazy!
Christina Schmidt hearts goaltimate!
When she’s not seeking out magical leopluradons so she can find her way to Candy Mountain, she’s busy taking awesome ultimate photos and bringing a fun filled season of goaltimate near you.
I give you the woman who not only dons the Ozone jersey and kicks butt on the ultimate field, but also brought back woman’s league in 2013 and wants to keep it going in 2014. Yes, that’s right, it’s Kate Wilson!
How many hats does Robyn Turner wear?
1. Producer at CNN, your round-the-clock news source.
2. Advocate of filling your life with good food, good people, good music, good times.
3. Radical awesome Ultimate player (see: UVA, Top Shelf, Mother Lovers, Rival, Southern Revival, etc).
4. AFDC Grants board member.
5. All-around good egg.
That’s a lot of hats.
