IF we have rain (and the city closes the field) we will make our way to the Average Joe’s park (as it is not a city park).

For more details on strategy in Ultimate Frisbee, please check out the Ultimate Handbook, for interactive flash play-by-plays to get a good idea of what to do.

FRISBEE EDUCATION

Anyone interested in learning more about Ultimate Frisbee is invited to a beginners clinic tonight at Realtor Park.

Weather permitting, members of Windsor’s four-year old co-ed league will introduce the sport to anyone 18 years and over (or 16 and 17 with parent’s consent) from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Windsor’s league plays on Wednesday evenings at Lake-shore Woods off Banwell Road on lined fields that are 120 yards long and 40 yards wide.

There are six teams with seven on the field at a time.

The goal is to work the frisbee up the field and over the opponent’s goal line but contact is not permitted and players police themselves for infractions.

Sportsmanship and team spirit are held in high regard and the standings even reflect superior spirit as well as wins and losses.

Windsor natives Paul and L.B. Medved helped start the league after returning to Windsor in 1998 from Vancouver where they learned to play.

“To start a sport that no one has ever heard of is tough,” Paul Medved said. “But we were the only city of our size in Canada to not have Ultimate Frisbee.”

Ottawa has 5,000 players and the sport has even reached into some Canadian high schools.

“That’s our goal to get it into the high school curriculum,” Medved said.

To that end, Windsor players have done introductory sessions in various schools in Windsor and Essex county.

Hey Kids, come out and learn how to play Ultimate Frisbee, this Saturday, May 23, 2009 from 11am – 1pm at Tranby Park.

Members of Windsor Ultimate will teach boys and girls ages 11-16 how to throw, catch and play Ultimate Frisbee. Come out, run around and make some new friends. Bring  water and cleats or running shoes. The clinic is free.

FIELD CONDITIONS
As many of you know, the city of Windsor workers are on strike right now, this has impacted us via lack of field maintenance (Tranby) and no field setup has yet begun on our new field.  The grass maybe a bit long, so something to keep in mind.

Windsor Ultimate discs are for sale $15.00.

Some reminders for people based on last weeks clinic:

• Bring two shirts (dark + light color), this will allow for proper team sorting.
• Plenty of water for the duration of the play, you will be running around.
• Folding chairs if you have any, so you can sit down and rest in between plays.

LEAGUE BRANDED DISCRAFT DISCS ARE FOR SALE => $15 EACH
Support the league and buy a frisbee, we have roughly 50 discs available, these discs are high quality discraft ’175 grams’ sanctioned league weight discs. They hold up well, and last. This is critical for beginners, get a regulation disc and practice your throws.

WEATHER CONCERNS
In case we have a forecase for rain, we will still play UNLESS there is thunder.  As always, rain or shine, the game will go on, unless it THUNDERS and the field is unsafe.  Otherwise please show up, and if needed bring appropriate change of clothes (if it does rain).

The League > Lakeshore Park

Keep in mind, Clinics will still be held at Tranby Park where we have always met in the past!

These clinics are here to teach valuable skills and to brush up on the old stuff you went over last season (for those veterans), as well as to learn something new.  This is a must for everyone new or old, get valuable info at these clinics by attending and training with the rest of the league. We promise it will be fun!

If you haven’t already registered and want to attend please register first, so we get an idea of attendance levels.

Things to bring:

1. League Fee ($50)
2. Water / Snack
3. Two shirts (dark or white)
4. Cleats (help with traction)
5. Friends!

Hope to see all of you on the field for 6PM both nights!
