TFDA has long tried to bolster youth ultimate in the area, but volunteer efforts (while most often
successful) have been scattershot and have never coalesced into an ongoing structure.
Independently of TFDA a new ultimate organization has risen up to foster high school ultimate: the
Triangle High School Ultimate Association (THSUA, pronounced thuh-SOO-uh). THSUA has as its
primary goal the establishment and maintenance of Fall and Spring Ultimate Seasons, along with at
least two annual high school tournaments for all THSUA teams. Local high schools currently
participating in THSUAs development are:
Cardinal Gibbons
Cary High School
Garner High School
Jordan High School
N.C. Science and Math
Ravenscroft
THSUA is beginning this summer to spread the word of its endeavors by hosting six summer camps.
Enrollment of participants and coaches is underway.
Players who would like to participate as coaches, contact Cameron Cockman (brushfire22 at gmail.com
or cockers at thsua.org).
Players knowing of high schoolers (or middle schoolers) seeking to learn more about the game,
inform them of these camps, and have them get in touch with Cameron Cockman or visit THSUA.org for
more details. Heres the current scoop about these camps...

are welcome too, especially rising 9th graders). We will be going over the basics at the start of
each camp, and will then go into detail on a specific aspect of the game (ie. Marks and Breaking
the Mark), afterwords scrimmages. A more detailed format will be devised after we know more about
the number of people that will be attending.
