Ultimate Frisbee 11/16/09

This past Friday I was once again unable to make it to Ultimate Frisbee. However this quarter I have kept better scheduling and will hopefully be able to to more meetings. Cross country season just ended so that will also help.

This week I was not able to make it to Ultimate Frisbee because I was helping clean up from Spirit day. I hope to be able to make it this upcoming Friday.

Today we did not have Ultimate Frisbee as the result of a half day.

Ultimate Frisbee Club 9/27/09

Last Saturday we had our normal Ultimate Frisbee Club game. This week, however, we had to play a "short" field as a tent was erected in one half of our normal field. With this short field, plays were made right or left more often, as to allow for the dimensions of the field. We had about 8 players per team and played for around 20 minutes. The goals were not tallied but it was around 5 to 2 at the end. I found that in a shorter field, quick, short passes are better because it becomes too easy to block a long pass (or too hard to catch it). This time around I felt myself not getting as tired, due to my cross country trying. Next time I will attempt to use short passes.

Last Friday we had our first Ultimate Frisbee club meeting. We played with six players on each team for around 20 minutes. During that time, my team scored three goals and the other team also scored three. I found that running back and forth constantly quickly tires you out, so that pacing is needed even with short games. However, a good speed should be kept up in order to be in position to defend or to catch and throw the Frisbee. At the next meeting I will attempt to find a better pace.
