UNION is returning for its 6th year, and coming off a highly successful 2015 season where we fought to an\u00a0Ultiworld Power Ranking of 4th<\/a> in North America, and a silver medal finish at CUC. Our program’s growing list of highlights include three CUC finals (including a gold medal in 2013), fifth place at the 2014 World Ultimate Club Championships, and a 9-6 record over 2\u00a0appearances at the prestigious US Open. In 2016, UNION is looking to build on this success by making\u00a0the USAU fall championship our focus.<\/p>\n

UNION\u2019s vision, for this year and beyond, is to become a stalwart in the top-tier of mixed teams in the Triple Crown Tour, and to continue to develop elite players to represent mixed ultimate in the GTA. As part of this vision we will be seeking the highest level competition available, which will\u00a0be highlighted by our 3rd<\/sup> consecutive US Open appearance. We plan to culminate our season by being the first Ontario team since MAB almost 20 years ago, to appear, and excel, at the USAU Championships in the fall.<\/p>\n

We are still finalizing our schedule and commitment, but expect one team practice per week (an addition to personal development), and a tournament schedule that may look very close to this:<\/p>\n
