Cape Town Ultimate

The Spring League got off to a great start on Monday night will all three games being closely fought and from what I could tell, highly spirited. The turnout was incredible and I saw tons of new faces which is so encouraging. I don’t think I have ever seen that many people playing Ultimate on a Monday night in CT and I hope all the new players are feeling encouraged and excited about figuring out the game.

It took a bit of adjustment playing on the smaller field sizes with plenty hucks and pulls disappearing out the back of the endzone (mind the fence Nicola). I personally was practicing a new Face-to-Elbow D block technique on Stu and have since had to rethink its effectiveness or at least re-read the article on that Shaolin Temple Ultimate Blog I found. Other new (and hopefully more effective) strategies will surely develop to use the limited space wisely and find those tiny little endzones.

Well done to teams B, D and F for their wins, I hear that the game between D and C was an epic battle with points traded for most of the game. Hopefully I will receive an email from the various teams with a name for their team based on their theme colour so that I can update the list.

I have attached a link to the excel file which has the team lists, schedule and the results. I will try keep this updated throughout the league so keep checking back>>>  Spring League 2009 Teams and Schedule

See you next Monday!
