OAK ULTIMATE: Summer 2025 FAQ

We’re excited to announce our summer programs and provide this information. We’ll update as additional questions arise. (Last updated 3/19/2025)

I missed the information zoom, is their a deck to review?

Which teams/programs are being offered by OAK this summer?

  • Tryouts occurred in February 2025 and the following teams will participate this summer:

    • U20 Gx team (YouthQuake and YCC)

    • U17 Boys/Open (YouthQuake and YCC)

    • U20 Boys/Open (YouthQuake and YCC)

    • U15 - Competitive (YouthQuake) and Development (Non-travel)

What are the program dates?

  • Practices will start the weekend of June 8 and end with YCC tournament weekend (August 2-4).

  • The program will end at an event/BBQ on Sunday August 10.

  • Some additional practices/events may be held prior to June as space/time allows but with priority given to other school-based team leagues and events.

When and where are practices?

  • Practices will start the weekend of June 8, and we will likely practice three days a week.

  • Tentative practice dates and times below:

    • U15 and Gx - Monday and Wednesday (evenings), Sunday (afternoon)

    • U17 and U20 Open - Tuesday and Thursday (evenings), Sunday (late afternoon)

  • Practices are expected to take place in Alameda.

How are team communications handled?

  • Team and program announcements will be shared through TeamSnap. Each division will have its own team and all players will be in an “All Summer Programs” team.

  • Additionally, each team may choose a communications program (GroupMe, WhatsApp, etc.) for ad-hoc communication.

  • In previous years, parents have also created communication groups (GroupMe, WhatsApp, etc.) for their own information sharing.

What are the tournament dates?

  • U15, U17, U20: Utah YouthQuake (Salt Lake City, UT): June 20 and 21 (Friday and Saturday)

  • U17, U20: Youth Club Championships (Denver, CO): August 2 thru 4 (Saturday through Monday)

  • YouthQuake has been a great and fun preparation for YCC with most members of our competitive teams playing in that tournament (but not mandatory). Players participating at YCC (U17/U20) cannot play with OAK U15 at that tournament, they must play with their YCC team. Financial assistance is available.

What are the program cost expectations?

  • Active USAU membership ( https://usaultimate.org/membership/levels/ )

  • Uniforms (dark and light jersey) ~ $65-70 for both

  • Summer (Bay Area) practices $350 ($100 deposit with roster acceptance and $250 billed in May)

  • Please note that financial aid is available for all OAK programs, including the summer season. For more information, please see: https://oakultimate.com/financial-aid

What are the tournament costs?

  • Each tournament is paid for separately and costs are applied to the players who attend the tournament. If you can’t make a tournament, you are not responsible for the shared costs.

    These costs cover the following: Tournament fees and coaches’ travel expenses and labor.

    Personal travel costs (airfare/hotel/food etc.) are NOT included in these fees. Players/families pay these costs directly. OAK will organize team hotel blocks and share that information with the teams.

  • Anticipated travel tournaments estimated fees/not to exceed:

    • Youthquake: $325/per player

    • YCC: $425/per player
