Winter is rough for ultimate players here in the Midwest. Temperatures plummet and snow piles up so high that you can't walk in it, let alone run. (Layouts are pretty fun, though.)

During the Nebraska winter, there are no leagues to play in, club play dries up for the most part, and pickup opportunities all but vanish.

What better way, then, to shake off the winter blues (and see how fat everyone has gotten over the winter) than with a wintry hat tournament!

Sweet Justice is hosting Snowmaha, an ultimate hat tournament on January 24th at Memorial Park in Omaha.

This event is a fundraiser for the Sweet Justice boys from Westside HS in Omaha. SJ has been tearing it up in recent months, taking on all comers, mixing it up against open club teams and college teams. They plan to travel to some tournaments out of state, and hopefully Snowmaha will go a long way to funding those journeys.

The tournament fee is $20--a small price to pay to enjoy competitive ultimate in the middle of winter, and well worth the cause of supporting Nebraska Youth Ultimate.

Even if you don't plan to play, come out and cheer everyone on!
