BUDA (Boston Ultimate Disc Alliance) Ultimate Frisbee Clinics
Come play frisbee! It's outdoors, fun, and active. Whether you're totally new to the sport (never threw a disc!) or an accomplished young player, our coaches will work with you to make sure you have fun and learn skills and strategy for the sport of Ultimate. If you haven't tried it yet, come check out the sport that doesn't use referees! Grades 5-8 can compete in a new middle school league with minimal travel. Grades 9-12 will have some outside matches. Our youth programs use "call your own fee". At checkout, you indicate the right fee for you. No questions, no emails, just your decision to pay what is right for you. We love having new players and don't want finances to stand in the way of young people learning and playing the sport.
Dungeons & Dragons Adventures (New Players)
The Giant Table
New players will join together to investigate trouble at The Giant’s Table, our learn-to-play adventure which will teach your child all about the D&D rules and reward them with some precious treasures! The heroes have been hired to find a man gone missing while carrying a magical jewel, just as a small town comes under attack from evil fey creatures. They must learn how the two events are connected and what it has to do with a mysterious figure known as Mother Fenlight. The Giant’s Table will use pre-generated 1st level characters.
If you have played D&D with us in the past (Winter & Fall) then be on the lookout for a registration link that is specific for returning players.
