HFL is a Coed Hat Tournament held in honor of a former teammate and friend to Houston Ultimate, Laura Powell Higgins. Laura was a prominent ultimate player who gave much to the growth of the sport in Houston and Texas. In December of 2002, she was murdered leaving behind her husband and daughter. Since then, every HFL has been in her honor.

We are pleased that proceeds this year will benefit The Boys and Girls Harbor of La Porte.

How to Learn More:

It's that time of year where many of us are traveling to spend time with our families and/or enjoying an extra portion of pie, cookies and (mmmmmm) peppermint bark.

Enough folks are traveling that we've called off winter league for this Saturday, but we still have a reservation for the fields.

Have you spent a little too much time surrounded by family? Have you had a little too much pie? Come on out to George Bush Park this Saturday between 10 and 1, get outside for awhile and play some ultimate.

City-wide pickup. We'd love to see you.

Map to the fields

	As you may have noticed, we've had rain this year....that means that winter league is back! This year brought to you by The Observers, Space City Ultimate and Inferno, but again providing an opportunity for everyone to play ultimate. Whether you are just beginning to play ultimate or have been around long enough to be considered "crusty", whether you are the world's best athlete or are "losing" your knees, this league wants you!
