Hillhead Ultimate’s  Summer Programme! 

Now that we are a section of Hillhead Sports club (HSC) we are able to offer more activities than ever over the summer months. Just as in previous years we’ll be running multiple Summer Leagues, but these are now moving to Monday nights, with an extra club training session on Wednesday evenings.

We’ll be back at HSC from Monday the 2nd of June. Our first summer league for 2025 will start on the 16th of June, 5-a-side format, and should run for 6 weeks. The exact configuration will depend on the number of sign ups so please register now so we can sort out teams and logistics:

If you have any queries not covered by the information below then please get in touch with us via hillheadultimate@gmail.com or you’ll find links to all our social media at the foot of the page

Below is a sample calendar of what we plan to run this summer

 

  • Open to all
    • Up to 36 weeknight summer league, games, or club wide training sessions 
    • 6 weekend pickup sessions
    • More to be confirmed
  • OTH & GUX & XYZ
    • These are our competitive teams. These sessions are only relevant to anyone who has already been selected for one of these squads.
    • Squad trainings* later in the season are included for illustration. They may still change dates and shouldn’t be considered confirmed until they are posted in Spond.

All of our summer activities take place at Hillhead Sports Club, 32 Hughendend Road, G12 9XP.

Monday nights:

  • 19:00 – 21:00

Wednesday nights:

  • Juniors – 18:00 – 19:00
  • Club training – 19:00 – 21:00

 

Sunday afternoon:

  • 14:00 – 16:00

 

We play on the grass training pitch located next to the main club house and have access to changing rooms and toilets. Hillhead has a bar and cafe which is perfect for coming down to watch or to socialise afterward.

The above timings are generally correct but make sure you check Spond and the club calendar closer to the time for any changes.

  • Sign up as an individual and we will put you on a team even if you are only available for part of the league.
  • 2 mixed gender games per session.
  • 5-a-side teams
  • Everyone is welcome regardless of experience or ability.
  • For anyone new to the sport we will run through the basics with you before each session and touch base each week to make sure you’re getting a much out of it as possible. 
  • The club bar and beer garden will be open for drinks and food after each session and we will be organising some socials during the summer.
  • There is a cost to the league detailed below but if you are new to the sport and just want to check it out we give you the first couple of sessions for free.
  • All players need to have at least basic UKU membership to participate regularly beyond taster sessions.

SIGN UP DEADLINE: Do it NOW.

Everyone who registers is ordinarily put on a team but we do have an upper limit on capacity. We’ll allocate teams before the weekend of the 14th/15th of June. We will still accept new members throughout the summer but it makes it much easier if we know up front. 

As well as Summer League on Monday evenings we’ll be at Hillhead for pickup/training and other activities on Wednesday nights and Sunday afternoons. This gives you up to 6 hours of ultimate most weeks.

By far the most affordable deal if you want to take advantage of all of this is to take out a Hillhead Sports Club membership:

  • This is a year round subscription membership
    • £15/Month Adults
    • £10/Month Students
    • £8.90/Month Juniors
  • Check out this document for instructions on how to join Hillhead Sports Club

We realise not everyone is ready to commit to a year round membership so we do still offer PAYG options:

  • PAYG – £6 per  session.
    • Subsequent sessions in the same week are charged at half price. For example, if you attend on the Monday in week 1, the Wednesday and Sunday sessions in week 1 will only cost you £3 each.
  • Summer League Packages – £32 each:  
    • Summer league 1. Covers all 9 Monday nights in June/July.
    • Summer league 2. Covers all 9 Monday nights in August/September.

 

Please note the summer league packages only apply to the Monday night sessions and must be payed for up front. Wednesday and Sunday training are not covered by this package, they are charged at PAYG rates.

We prefer you to pay up front if you are able (payment details are sent out after you register for summer league if you are new to the club). This saves us a lot of hassle and the club/treasurer being out of pocket. We will inform (hassle) you each week for not paying in advance unless you’ve been in touch to defer payment.

Financial hardship

As a club, we don’t want anyone to miss out on playing Ultimate due solely to financial reasons. If you’re worried about your ability to afford summer league, or any GU events, please fill in the relevant section of the form or get in touch with the club. All such matters are treated confidentially. We are usually happy to defer payment or allow you to pay over a period that suits your needs once we have come to an agreement.
