2017 HS Boys Red & Blue Squad Roster Announcement
First of all, thank you to everyone again for coming out to Sunday’s tryouts and making it a fantastic event. We had 185 boys from 36 different schools across the city (and some beyond the city of Seattle!). That's a really special experience for everyone, and something unique to Seattle youth Ultimate. A cornerstone of the Seven Hills mission is to bring together youth players from all over Seattle to play and learn together at a high level, and you all made that happen Sunday. Thank you!
Our big hope is that everyone, even those not in the Seven Hills program this year, will continue playing and learning as much as possible. If we weren't limited by coach time, field space, and money, we'd have all 85 of the folks at tryouts in the program. 100%. Our goal is not to exclude, it's to include as many as possible with the resources we have this year, and hope others take advantage of outside opportunities and join us next year. Franklin was filled with great attitudes and talent on Sunday. Each of you should be proud of your contribution. We had to make some really tough decisions and felt honored to have so many fantastic people participate in the beginning of our season.

Please email sevenhillsultimate@gmail.com if you have any other questions.
3. Feedback
All players on the above rosters will receive feedback at the start of Seven Hills Season.
If you did not make it into the program this year, and would like feedback on how you can improve as a player and/or teammate, please email us at sevenhillsultimate@gmail.com with a brief self-reflection, responding to the 4 prompts in italics below.
This will be forwarded to the appropriate coach, who will respond with feedback for you. Please allow some time for this - we are in the heat of tryouts for the next 3 weeks. Requests for explanation of your placement will not be fielded without this self-reflection.
What do you consider your current on-field strengths? Why? (Examples - breaking the mark, defensive footwork)
What do you consider your current on-field weaknesses? What are you working on? Why?
What do you consider your current strengths as a teammate or leader? Why? (Examples - resilience in the face of mistakes, accepting feedback, putting the team before myself, etc.)
