Help us celebrate the end of summer this coming Labor Day weekend at the south edge of Santa Monica beach with a little (a lot?) of free beach ultimate!

We’re calling it Workingman’s Disc and we’re putting on another Free Beach Hat tournament for just the purpose.

Sunday Sept 1, 10 am – 3 pm, between lifeguard stations 28 & 29 in Venice/Santa Monica.

Register here. For more details, read on.

As usual, we’ll have lined fields, scoreboards, water and ice, an orange juice press and oranges, a massage table where you can work your friends’ kinks out for them, some pizza or other food after the finals, and prizes for the winners, all on us (LA Throwback).

The event will be 4×4 mixed, with a twist (that we are teasing…you’ll find out when you get there). We are planning for each team to play 3 games to 11 and one game to 13 (last game of the day, the playoffs!).

Registration is free if you sign up here by Friday Aug 30.  If you don’t register by then, it’ll be $10, with the money going go toward the pizza (or other food) we’ll be serving late in the day. (If you pre-register and then can’t make it, please let us know).

This will be a TRUE random draw tourney. All the names will go into two hats (one for men, one for women). No segregation by skill or experience, and no baggage…a literal free-for-all, with one exception: total newbies will be distributed evenly among the teams.  There will be a fixed genzone on each field and the woman captain of the team starting the point in the genzone will select the number of women playing that point.

The event will be at the same location as our prior Free Beach Hats, on the beach just south of lifeguard station 28 and the Ashland Ave. bathrooms (i.e. at “South Beach Park”) in Venice (technically Santa Monica, but most people think of it as Venice). Please be there by 9:30 am so first games can start at 10:00 am. We’ll finish up around 3 pm. Afterwards we plan to head down to the water to throw lead passes into breaking waves (catch and dive drill!) so bring a bathing suit.

Look forward to seeing you out there!
