Message from Henrik:

Hi guys, I uploaded the pics from the Clifton morning session. I hope you will enjoy them. And if someone thinks some of them are worth to put on the website, let me know how I can do that. If you want a higher resolution, let me know.  Was a great fun and I feel sorry for every one who missed it.

Update 2A: Thanks to the work of Jonno, Chris, Steve and Neal, the Bergvliet kids are so enjoying ultimate that they would like to play a second day a week – on Thursdays. This is fantastic news! So, to keep the momentum, we would like to know if it is possible for the existing trainers could maybe split into two for Monday and two for Thursday? And… if there are any other people who can now help out on Monday or Thursday?

Update 2B: The good news continues: As mentioned earlier, the BHS folks want an exhibition game to showcase Ultimate. Watch this space for final info on a date, but so far we have 16 players available to play … in front of 1 000 screaming high schoolers. Woohoo!

Cape Town, if you want to get involved, now is your chance! Let Jonno know if you are keen to help spread some Ultimate joy and play in the exhibition game, or help train on Thursdays. His details are here, or leave a comment on this page.

Summer league stats are now up on this site. The standings at the end of round one of the league are available here. Looks like Khaya are keen to recapture their position as CT’s unbeaten team. Who will stop them?

In future, look at the “League” page in the top right corner for past and current league info. Also watch out for new pages and cool things.

capetownultimate.co.za – the site for all things cape town ultimate. spread the word.

Put it in your diaries now and be there!

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!
