Participation at Provincials is open to all high school and middle school teams, regardless of participation in spring and fall leagues.
Teams can register for the tournament by emailing Josh by May 13th.

The program’s emphasis is placed on athletes who have competed at the provincial level or higher during 2012, and who have maintained a high level of academic standing, while showing a commitment to Ultimate through their involvement in playing, coaching, observing and volunteer activities. There are two scholarships available; the “Dean Wright Scholarship” and the “Dr. Colin Yeung Scholarship”. As of 2011, the value of these scholarships has been increased to $500 each (previously $250 each). Preference will be given to athletes attending university or college in Manitoba.
