jakub — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 12:35:04 +0000

We sent out a survey mid season and asked some questions and got a bunch of answers. So we wanted to share all of the results with you. This survey was open for a week and a half, and only 32 out of a possible 100 people responded.

The below PDF has a summary of all the scores and original questions asked. Take a look, leave a comment here if you have any thoughts on it.

As Jen M. has been kind enough to bring out her camera to take some GREAT action shots during games, we have had the pleasure to see some amazing shots. Following last week’s photo of Tom doing a sideline catch, here is another one, I would like to call “Awkward hugging”.

Photo of Week 4

Well Jen from Agent Orange (Team 2) took some amazing photos this week, one of the best I thought (not because of the obvious family ties) was the photo of Tom making a tight sideline grab. We joked around that we needed a photo ‘replay’ to see if it was in or out (was ruled in btw).

Anyways here is the shot below, enjoy:

Captain’s send me your team names (teams, make up those creative team names and email the board). I can then update all the team names. Also NEXT WEEK, everyone MUST be present, as we will be taking TEAM PHOTOS. We got our colorful shirts, now its time to show them off to the world via the intertubes! So show up, or you won’t be in the photo

Cheers!

Strategy – Ultimate Handbook play-by-play guide

jakub — Thu, 27 May 2010 18:25:33 +0000

As mentioned in the clinic and via newsletter, we will be focusing on two key strategic plays this year (as well as vertical stack). To better understand the dynamics and logistics behind it, I wanted to show people a great Ultimate Frisbee resource — the Ultimate Handbook

Use the links below to get a sense for how zone or horizontal stacking is done:

How to run a Zone defense:

How to use a horizontal stack to your advantage during play (note the 3 handlers!):
http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/blog/strategy/horizontal/

Feel free to go even further and get more of this strategy into your game, your legs will thank you (less running and better scoring opportunities).

Not registered yet? Well hurry!

jakub — Thu, 27 May 2010 12:47:32 +0000

Just a reminder…

This saturday we will be selecting teams. IF YOU DID NOT REGISTER YET, you will NOT be on a team. We cannot obviously assign people that do not register. So if you loved the clinics (and Ultimate Frisbee), but did not register, please do so by Saturday. Otherwise late registration might not guarantee you a spot (after teams are chosen).

For those that HAVE registered, please be aware that if payment is not received by next week Wednesday (1st start of season – league game) you will not be able to play.

Also, if you haven’t registered, you are missing out on our informative newsletter, which we send out quite regularly to all league sign-ups / payee’s, so do it today!
