Fields

Obtaining Fields for Ultimate
Christopher Burke, DiscNW
Summary:  This session is about obtaining existing fields for Ultimate from cities, schools, and other entities.  DiscNW has put a significant effort toward finding fields in the Seattle area.  Political and financial realities have made renting fields from government bodies more attractive than buying or building our own.  We have a field-finding "team" - basically one person per suburb.  Each person is the sole point of contact between a parks department and DiscNW-something the parks departments strongly encouraged.  Our team has been successful...despite the rapid growth in the number of leagues, teams within leagues and the number of practicing teams; we have not had to limit any Ultimate because of a lack of fields.
