Let the Spring Season Begin!

The spring semester is in full swing and we have a promising season ahead of us! Last week we started classes and had our first couple of practices. This was very exciting because we had a lot of girls return after being gone fall semester, so we got our full squad together for the first time!

This weekend we kicked off tournament season by hosting our annual indoor tournament, Trouble in the Bubble. This year we had eight women’s teams – a combination of high schools, colleges, and club women – come from around the twin cities area to play on our awesome new turf field! We also made history as this tournament was the first event EVER to be held in the new dome!

Ninjas rockin' the dome

The Ninjas spent most of the weekend splitting up and playing with other teams that needed a few more players, and we got to play a few games with just Ninjas as well. It was a great experience for all of our players to get to know other women in the ultimate community, practice playing with other teams, and especially for our new girls just to get lots of playing time! And of course it was a great time for lots of team bonding!

We had quite a few high school parents come up to us this weekend and thank us for putting on the tournament and giving young women this opportunity to play with and learn from older players, get more experience and have fun! This really meant a lot to us and we're glad the participants enjoyed the tournament because we had a blast doing it!

Our next big tournaments aren't until March, so until then we'll be buckling down and training hard! We had such a good season last year, and we can't wait to come back and show 'em what we've got this year!!

Until next time,
Ninja

What a good-looking group of ladies!
