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.

Junior Clinic for Kids

LB — Thu, 21 May 2009 13:31:23 +0000

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.

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:

League Fee ($50)

Friends!

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