Detailed schedule

Note that below agenda is a working draft. Core events and dates are locked in, but specific times, field rotations, and hangout locations are tentative and subject to change as we finalize weekend details based upon confirmed attendance.

Friday, October 9: Welcome Home

  • 4:30 PM - 6:30 PM | JFK Park
    We’ll kick off the weekend the way many good Harvard Ultimate gatherings have started: with frisbees, friends, and a big order from Pinocchio’s.

  • 6:30 PM - 10:00 PM | Harvard Square Bars (Felipe’s, Grafton Street, Shay’s)
    Afterward, we will transition to casual, generation-specific bar hangouts in and around Harvard Square so you can reunite with old teammates.

Hosted by alumni including Tom Bok '99, Sam Stake '03, and Arleen Aguasvivas '15. Exact locations will be emailed to registrants.

Saturday, October 10: Cleats & Competition

  • 10:00 AM – 11:00 PM | Fields Open & Youth Clinic
    Arrive at Cumnock Fields as you please. We will have three large fields set up for casual pickup and a smaller field dedicated to throwing practice and a youth clinic.

  • 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM | Mini "King of the Court"
    Jump into some fast-paced 4v4. Self-select your team or get assigned, play to 3, and move up or down the fields based on the results.

  • 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM | Themed Scrimmages
    We'll kick off the full-field games with a ceremonial pull of the "Baby Don't Make No Mess" disc by Daryl Norcott. We’ll rotate lines quickly through short games, starting with era-vs-era matchups before moving to Handlers vs. Cutters, Tall vs. Short, or Parents vs. Kids.

  • 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM | Field Contests
    Give your legs a break and test your raw skills with contests for distance hucking, accuracy, and the fastest man/woman relay.

  • 4:00 PM | Depart Fields
    Head back to the hotel, rest, and change into your party attire for the evening.

Notes:
1. BRING DARK / LIGHT JERSEYS AND WATER. Ideally, bring your old jerseys. We will have bagels and fixins; fruit; granola bars; and coffee for everyone.
2. Bathrooms are available on the field and in the Tennis Center
3. We will also have a couple of canopy tents for folks to hangout under, but don’t hesitate to bring chairs or your own field gear

Reach out to the TDs if you have additional ideas: Ken Weinstein ’03, Caitlin McDonough MacKenzie ’06, Jack Deschler ’19

Saturday Night: The First 50 Years of Harvard Ultimate

  • 5:30 PM – 6:45PM | Welcome & Reception
    We’ll kick off the evening together in the spectacular Rubenstein Treehouse. Enjoy an Italian antipasti spread and open bar as you reconnect with teammates and friends from across the decades. Ultiphotos will be on hand to capture photos as everyone arrives, and—weather permitting—we’ll have one of the best backdrops in Boston: sunset over Soldier Field.

    Come early, grab a drink, take in the view, and enjoy having generations of Harvard Ultimate together under one roof.

  • 6:45 PM | Dinner, Programming, & First Fifty Years of Harvard Ultimate
    At 6:45 PM, our Little Italy buffet will open for dinner, with the evening’s program beginning around 7:15 PM.

    John Barkett ’04 and Arleen Aguasvivas '15 will serve as our emcee as we celebrate 50 years of Harvard Ultimate through stories and reflections from across the team’s history. We’ll hear from founder Sara Schechner and teammates representing different eras before premiering Aidan Shapiro-Leighton’s documentary short film, The First Fifty Years of Harvard Ultimate—a look back at the people, moments, and memories that have shaped the program over five decades.

  • 8:15 PM | Ultimate Party
    After the program, it’s time to simply enjoy being together. Catch up with old teammates, meet players from other generations, grab another drink, and enjoy music, Flong, and more as we celebrate 50 years of Harvard Ultimate.

  • 10:00 PM | 50th Anniversary Team Photo
    Before we say goodnight to the Treehouse, we’ll bring all 200+ of us together for one final moment: a 50th Anniversary team photo featuring generations of Harvard Ultimate in one place.

Dress code: casual, but festive!

Parking Information: Solders Field Parking, across street is $13 for the evening.

Sunday, October 11: Farewell & Final Points

  • 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM | Showcase Game & Hangout
    Check your overnight recovery metrics and decide if you have a few more points left in you. We will be hosting a competitive showcase game and casual pickup. For everyone else, enjoy hanging out on the sidelines before saying your goodbyes and heading home.
