Other Happenings in Tucson:

Tucson Ultimate's New Insurance

With a new year always comes new changes, and one thing that the board has

decided to change is the way we do insurance. In the past, the board has paid

for an affiliate membership for each person who signs up for a TU event. We

have grown so much as a community that it is no longer feasible for us to

continue doing this. Effective the 1st of January, we are shifting the

responsibility to the players. This means for your first TU event that you sign up

for, you will be required to pay an additional $18 for an affiliate membership

through USAU. This membership lasts for a calendar year and is effective for

all TU events.

For individuals intending to play club or college, we suggest purchasing your

adult membership for $64 through USAU. Otherwise, if you purchase the

Subscribe Past Issues Translate

affiliate membership then the adult membership, you'll have to work with USAU

to get a refund for the $18 since it's included in the adult membership.

This is a new process for the community. As we figure out this transition, we

ask for patience. If you have any questions, please direct them to Chris at

treasurer@tucsonultimate.com.
