Intro:

                After the positive feedback we’ve received from the team regarding Blackfish’s participation at the World Ultimate Club Championships of 2010 in Prague, the Captains have put together a roadmap to help the team focus on milestones we need to meet on our way to Prague.  In between these milestones, we have a lot of work that we all need to commit to in order to succeed in Prague. 

Notes:

• It is Blackfish’s plan to have an open try-out in April-May 2009 to select the team that will compete to qualify and play in Prague.
• There will be no open try-out in 2010 before the tournament. Blackfish may hold a closed try-out for individuals the team has identified.
• Specific dates for tournaments and such will be written in as they become available.
• Other tournaments may be added at a later time.
• Tournaments leading up to specific milestones (Nationals, World Clubs) will have specific objectives, training and improvement goals.
• This roadmap does not prevent an association with Furious George if that becomes a viable option to Blackfish’s development.
