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”.

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!

Windsor Ultimate featured in the Windsor Star

Well its great, the city is finally taking notice of a little known sport (in Southern Ontario at least) called Ultimate, today we had a great little article in the Windsor Star, so hopefully we will have a great turnout tonight (weather permitting) at Realtor Park.

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.
