NZ Ultimate goes on tour!

In a matter of days the biggest ever contingent of Ultimate players will be departing our shores and heading for the World Ultimate Club Championships in Perth. Two Women's teams, an Open team, a Mixed team and New Zealand's first Masters team alone with supporters, admin staff, and coaches will make for a squad of ~100 in Perth.

If you would like to contact the team or send well wishes you can contact the team via email <nzsquad> from now until the end of the tourney. You can visit the tourney site for information and results during the tourney and we will endeavour to send the odd update to the ultimate lists.

There may also be more info posted on the squad website - depending upon access.
