Cape Town Ultimate

News just in from Jonno about Ultimate Evolution:

On Monday at 3, the first coaching session went down really nicely..
Myself (Jonno), Chris and Neal went along. In the end there were only 9 learners including the life skills teacher (coach to be) and his wife. The energy and the vibe amongst the kids was great and after spending about 40 minutes on fore/backhand throwing we had a very informal fun little game. I promised that i would produce photos of the guys throwing around but i clean forgot (sorry brent!) watch this space for some next week!

The life skills teacher Lloyd mentioned that he wanted to start another practice on another day, perhaps wednesday for those who want to play twice a week and others who are busy on a monday. We were also talking about an exhibition game, and although i hear nationals will be played at BHS, i was thinking it would be good to do something sooner than that.

Lloyd also said he’d love some ultimate players to come promote the sport during PT periods during the day…

Perhaps i’m jumping our good organisers’ guns, but is there anyone who would be available to play a pickup game at Bergvliet during the day? 10 people should do it although the more the merrier as well!

Is there anyone available to come help out with coaching on mondays? Anyone for running a PT lesson in the name of furthering ultimate?

Hands on deck!

Sounds great! Please leave a comment here, or email Jonno (jonno.lui@gmail.com) if you can help. Please also stay in touch with Brent if you can help with Ultimate Evolution at all.

Hi CPT Ultimate players!

By now, you have read our strategy for 08/09 – Ultimate Evolution!

Our goal – 50 competitive team by Jan 2010!

Our focus for this year is starting a schools league. We have exciting news.
Bergvliet high school is starting a pick up game this Monday. We are going to run it as a trial before starting a league with other schools in the summer terms.

Here is your opportunity to get involved in Ultimate evolution! We have developed an eight week ultimate training program to help assist trainers to train new players. We also have discs and cones. Now we need some players to help train the kids to play ultimate!

The pick up game will be every Monday from 3-4pm. Your involvement will need to be for 8 weeks until the BHS teacher is up-to-speed!

So, let Brent know if you are available and keen!

Hi fantastic ultimate players

We have been busy thinking, strategising and throwing forehands about how to harness the momentum in Ultimate at the moment. The starting of the Cape Town league two years ago was a great throw forward, but now it is time to take Cape Town Ultimate to the next level.

Here is our two year strategy: Ultimate Evolution

Our goal – 50 competitive teams by January 2010. Read our strategy to see how we plan to achieve this attainable goal! A strategy is a good start, but it needs people to make it happen. Right now, we have a committed, but small group of players who run CPT ultimate. For us to evolve CPT ultimate to have 50 competitive teams, we need to give back to our amazing sport. If we all gave 1 hour a week, we have 2 virtual people working full time.

So read our strategy and decide how you’d like to contribute. If you are keen, but not sure how, then chat to Brent or Neal even if you only have 1 hour a month!
