Bored this summer? Come play Ultimate (Frisbee)!!

What is Ultimate - https://usaultimate.org/rules/

Want to see what's going on with our group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/EdmontonUltimate

TL|DR - It's like American Football but with no contact & a disk instead of a ball. A major difference is that you can not move while holding the disk, only pass it.

What - We play a pick up version of Ultimate. We basically decide teams and swap player around if it seems unbalanced. It's important to note that we never keep track of score until the very end when someone calls "First to 5" (points)

Where - Hollyrood beside the senior association https://goo.gl/maps/GM3YKWPCtFvJexSF8

When - Wednesdays @ 7PM, Sunday TBA

Who - All ages, all skill levels, coed. Our youngest member just turned 15, and some of us older guys are pushing/past 40. But we get players in between.

Required - Please bring a dark and light shirt, running shoes (cleats work best, any sports shoe would be fine, some people play bare feet). Otherwise, that's all you need

I am 37(M) and started playing about 5-6 years ago. I had no prior experience before that but I have grown to enjoy it. Typically we pair like people together. So I am tall, I would typically be paired with someone else who is tall. If you are new, you would be paired against someone else new, etc.

Since we don't keep track of the score, no one will get upset if you drop the disc. Or if you miss your throw. Or if you make a mistake because you didn't understand a rule. We will just explain what you did wrong so you hopefully don't make the same mistake again. If you get tired, you can sub off. If you have questions, you can ask. There are a few of us that have been playing for years, but each year new people join.

Typically we try to play 5v5. But we will play half field 3v3 or up to about 8v8. If it's 9v9 we will either have 8v8 with subs, or play 5v5 & 4v4. Regardless, if you show up, you will get to play.

If we start getting more attendance we will likely start playing on Sunday as well.

If you have any questions or I missed something, please let me know :)
