We are excited to announce and explain our unique, multi-functional incentive and records system. You probably know them as dog tags but we think they will need a new name to represent what they mean to us. Leave us a note on Facebook if you have an idea of what we should call them.
Every Ultimate for All member will receive one embossed metal name tag. Year One participants’ name tags are golden (ok, I think they’re bronze) signifying their founding role in our organization, all future name tags will be standard silver. It includes their name, UFA Member #, and the UFA values: Community, Sustainability, and Spirit of the Game. The name tag is the foundation of the player’s chain and is also a useful ID for their gear bag. The chain is the empty trophy case just waiting to be filled with your accomplishments.
As long as you stay within our system your accomplishments accrue, no matter your team. This will create a tangible sense of continuity to your playing career.
We are pondering many other uses for this system as well. Mark personal achievements with special tags: Catch a Callahan, Win a Party, Your First Layout D. Further uses could include integration with our planned Player Development Track and/or UFA-wide records, you could hold the Fastest Woman or Farthest Flick tag (until someone challenges you for it).
Our hope is that these little tags will incentivize commitment and personal improvement as well as uniting us all as clubmates. If 2014 was your only year with us then keep it as a reminder of a particularly nice California summer. But stick with us and after a few years your chain will start to truly represent the player that you are. One quick glance will remind you of all the hot tournament days, long practices, team hotels, carpools, soreness, sweat, and blood that went into making your ultimate career worth remembering.
