Make it stand out BERNADETTE NORMAN (SHE/HER/HERS), TEAM ADMINISTRATOR I grew up north of Boston and I started playing ultimate frisbee in fifth grade. I was immediately hooked and I've tried other sports, but none have ever been as fun or rewarding for me. In high school I played on the Junior Varsity team at Phillips Academy Andover for two years, and in college I played on the DIII club team Daisy Chain at Mount Holyoke. Over the past several years, I've gotten more involved in the sport beyond playing. During the 2019/2021 club seasons I was/am the Sectionals Coordinator for the Metro New York women's division, and I continue to help support NYGL in my new position as the Team Administrator.
