The CamboCakes are looking to select a team with ambition and commitment to build a European top team. Therefore we will be having tryout sessions for all interested in joining the team.
The CamboCakes has qualified for the World Ultimate Club Championship in Prague (WUCC) in July 2010. The teams aim next season is to place in the top 20 of all european teams at WUCC. In preparation for this, the team will be playing high level tournaments pre-WUCC once a month. This includes Tom's Tourney, Windmill Windup and possibly the UK tour.
Selections will begin saturdays in january and run for 4 weeks . We strongly encourage everyone willing to be considered to attend these sessions. If you are unsure if you can make Clubs but you're still keen, please turn up.
Selection will be based on a number of criteria with strong emphasis on commitment to training sessions and tournaments and commitment to achieving a high level of fitness. Regular team training will start in February and take the form of two evening sessions on Tuesday and Thursday and a weekend session on Saturday.
Selection criteria will include:
- Commitment to attendance all training sessions including the weekend training
(in Amsterdam);
- Commitment to tournaments including financial

- Commitment to working on fitness away from training sessions and following a team training plan;
- Positive attitude and team oriented approach to achieving the clubs aims;
and
- Good level of basic ultimate skills and a willingness to learn and improve.
If you would like feedback on what you should be working on, or any other selection issues please talk to one of the selectors.
If you would like to attend trials please let us know by reply to Tim (t.m.scholten [aapje] gmail [puntje] com) with your contact details. It would also be useful to provide some brief details of your playing experience (how long have you been playing? For what clubs? What position do you prefer? cutter/handler).
People hoping to try out will attend all sessions. If you are interested, have questions about the specifics or require any further information, do not hesitate to get in touch.
