FIELD USE
We are again playing on the City of Boulder’s beautiful
Pleasant View Soccer Complex fields. Remember as in most urban centers, quality recreational spaces are sparse and competitive adult ultimate does not get highest priority when it comes to obtaining these fields. So be mindful of the surrounding neighbors, obey the park regulations, and use your common sense so that you do not jeopardize GRUB and other ultimate events in years to come.
No glass bottles permitted on the fields.
Recycle bins will be available for plastic containers.
Dogs are not permitted at GRU tournament events. Really no dogs, not in your car, not on the fields, and not in the parking lot.
Please do not practice on the Pleasant View site until the day of
the tournament. If your team is coming in from out of town, there are nice fields at Foothills Community Park (aka Violet Fields). Here is a link to a map: Practice Fields
Violation of these rules or behavior deemed unacceptable will be grounds for expulsion from the tournament and the facility. The Grass Roots Ultimate Board of Directors (and its designees, including the Tournament Director) and the City of Boulder Recreation Staff reserve the right to enforce this policy.
LODGING
There is no camping on the fields.
SPONSORSHIP

Eldorado Spring Water

Peak Form Physical Therapy
Guided Heights Massage Therapists
