The fact that Minneapolis is home to the world’s best walkway inspired our team. We strive to have all the features of a great walkway every time we step onto the field of play. We are strong, rising above minor issues like traffic or bad weather. We seem simple and unnoticeable until needed, and then we become irreplaceable. We remain connected to one another, because though our foundations may shake, our SKYLINE will endure. A SKYLINE is built of hardened metals and rises to represent a state, so too have we come to represent MN to the rest of the country. We are MN mixed ultimate, we are SKYLINE.

  Astute observers of past YCC events will recall seeing a mixed team from Iowa at the 2006 tournament. Six years later, Iowa returns to Blaine, this time with an open squad.  With a number of nationally successful club and college squads calling Iowa home, the state is now an emerging hotspot for younger talent.  The Iowa High School Spring League, under the direction of Nathan Wiemers, serves as an ideal venue for players to learn about Ultimate and compete against schools across the state. Making the short trek up I-35, this squad of 18 young men brings a dangerous combination of athleticism and strong disc skills. We're here to show the nation why Iowa has some of the best Ultimate in the country!

  The Spearfish Storm is a new team on the Ultimate scene. One year ago organized ultimate didn’t exist in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

The team consists of mostly Spearfish Sophmores and Juniors, with a player from Sioux Falls and a couple Eden Prairie players. Leading the team are co-captains and handlers Jake Servaty and Tristan Blain. The team hopes to have a lot of fun while they gain experience at the YCC. Although they may be young and inexperienced, the storm will bring a lot of heart and spirit to the tournament as they represent South Dakota.

  Chicago Chicago, IL   Team Name: MicroMachine
  This is the second year of competition for the Chicago U-16 YCC Team and the team has added significant talent and experience due to the tremendous ongoing growth of Junior’s ultimate in the Chicagoland area.  The team has players from 3 different Chicago area schools who have competed in various leagues and multiple tournaments, such as the Chicago Invite and Sandblast (a beach tournament in downtown Chicago).  We look forward to our biggest challenge to date, some great fun and awesome competition!
