Grow, improve, and create! Represent Philly and tryout for the 2018 roster. Email captains@phillyamp.com, share your interest and experience, to get involved. Tryouts start March 24. Off-season indoor scrimmages, pre-season fitness meetups, and all-season social events have already started!

AMP 2018 will compete at Worlds in July, US Open in August, Pro Championships in September, and Club Championship series next fall.

AMP’s eight U24 players – Natalie, Calvin, Matt, Nico, Linda, Carolyn, Anna and Michael – contributed unbelievable talent, drive, creativity and personality to the 2017 team. Six were invited to tryout for the U24 National Team, and three selected for the roster.

Michael co-led the mixed team in goals, while Anna’s bids and throws created scores throughout the tournament. Carolyn’s fearlessness and support for her teammates leads every team she’s a member of.

Congrats to our 2017 award winners! Carolyn and Michael are our female and male MVPs; Linda and Calvin, Most Improved Players; Anna and Steve, female and male Rookie of the Year; Bobby Roos, 2017 Team Award recipient.

In addition, Ultiworld selected Raha and Michael to their All-Club Mixed Second Team, and Anna and Carolyn won All-Club Mixed First Team honors. Anna Thompson was first runner up for Mixed Club Player of the Year and was chosen as Breakout Player of the Year in the Mixed Club Awards; Raha Mozaffari was runner up for the Offensive Player of the Year honor, and Patrick Sherlock was Coach of the Year for 2017.

AMP’s first trip to the Pan American Club Championships included wins over teams from Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Canada and the United States; we fell by one point in the final to Mischief, from San Francisco.

Last summer, AMP took 3rd at the Pro Elite Challenge in Colorado and the US Open Club Championships in Minnesota. In the fall, we won the Mid-Atlantic Region and placed second at Club Nationals – our best ever finish.

The team’s mission is to grow our community, improve, and create together – earn respect for and represent Philadelphia. The support of those in Florida for Nationals was amazing, especially Philadelphia Patrol. Our alumni and everyone who was in touch before and after our biggest games made the community feel so present and unique. We’re most proud that we got to share the season’s experiences with the family, friends and fans who supported our work throughout the year.

AMP 2017 relied on and received plays from every teammate, and strengthened each day we were together. We’re eager to continuing pursuing new opportunities at the 2018 World Club Championships and beyond.

AMP finished 4th in the Women’s Division and 3rd in the Men’s Division at the USA Ultimate Beach National Championships in May, 2017.

Each season new players make AMP more competitive, creative, and fun. We want to meet talented women and men eager to compete and improve as a team.

Rosters for our spring tournaments are being created now – email captains@phillyamp.com and share your playing experience and goals to get involved. We’re hosting pre-season workouts on April 8, 22 and 29, and tryout practices on May 7, 27, and June 3. See phillyamp.com/schedule for more.
