Winter Page 2024-2025

Welcome to the 2024 OCUA Winter Program Information Page. We have been working hard to ensure everyone has a place to play this upcoming winter season. Registration will open on Saturday, October 12th at 10:00pm. Individual league and registration pages will be available next week.

The page has several different sections:

1. Highlights
2. Adult Clinics
3. Adult Team Leagues
4. Adult Individual Leagues
5. Youth Programs/Leagues
6. Winter Tournaments

1. Highlights

• OCUA has secured 22 new, 1-hour game slots across Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday, at the brand new Orleans Dome (6588 Carrière St.)!

This additional field space will allow OCUA to accept more teams into leagues this winter. 

• There will no longer be a Winter season and a Spring season. All Winter Indoor programming will run during one session from November to April. The decision was made based on feedback from the members to provide a better league experience and avoid double registration.
• Most league prices per week will remain almost the same, with only a slight increase ($2.50/week) to offset some of the dome’s price increases.
• OCUA will be moving the Tuesday GM league to Mondays at Algonquin College and doubling the team cap from (4) to (8) to allow twice as many teams to enter. 
• Tuesdays in November & December will now host (5) different clinic options for members to register for. Tuesday is the only night without any leagues so all members are able to attend if they wish.
• Wednesday and Thursday (our largest team leagues) have both added substantial dome time to accommodate more teams. 
• Wednesday sees the new addition of a Youth 15U/17U Just-Play Rec League to build off the success of the Monday, Fall Rec Just-Play League
• Wednesday GN2 (Girls, Non-Binary, Two-spirited) continues to grow and will have more field space available to accommodate the demand. It will remain before the Women's League, who provide great coaching and mentorship to the youth.
• Wednesday will also feature a small open league at Ben Franklin that will run almost parallel in time/date with the Women's League
• Sunday will have an Advanced Junior 5v5 SOTF League designed for competitive level players during November and December
• Sundays in January will see the return of the Intermediate (formally winter Development) & OJCUP Advanced training program (by application).
• Lastly, on December 29th from 5-9pm @ Orleans Dome, OCUA will host a 4v4 holiday tournament in partnership with the uOttawa Gee Gee’s Women’s Ultimate Team. 

2. Adult Clinics

OCUA is continually looking for opportunities for our members to improve their Ultimate skills. Based on feedback from members, (5) different clinics options will be available in November & December. All clinics will be held at the MegaDome in Stittsville from 8:30-10:00pm. Cost per clinic is $20 (tax included). 

• November 5th - WN2 Pulling Clinic 
• November 12th - All Gender Pulling Clinic
• November 19th - Zone (Offense and Defense) Clinic
• December 10th - Defense Clinic
• December 17th - General Skills Clinic 

3. Adult Team-Entry Leagues

As mentioned, OCUA has secured additional dome time to increase the number of team spots available in most leagues. PLEASE NOTE: Once you register, your spot will be held temporarily for 48 hours to give you enough time to complete payment. If no payment is made your registration will expire after 48 hours, and the next person on the waitlist will be offered the spot.

Below you will find a list of winter leagues. League pages will be updated in the coming days.

Registration will open on Saturday, October 12th @ 10:00pm. 

• As a reminder, you will need the new 2025 Annual Membership to register and it is suggested you do so prior to registration opening.
