Did that get your attention? Ahhh, nothing better than having a few men of a certain age running around with men of a much much smaller age. Luckily, the slipped discs were all external (this time).
Apparently, Atlee High School also got the memo that DaVille was playing Ultimate this morning, so they turned the sprinklers on for us…Noice!! Everything was slightly damp, which many of the 11 players we had this morning used that as an excuse. It’s a good thing they had the slick discs as an excuse, because there were a whole lot of drops!
We played 6 on 5, which worked ok…it would have been nice to have Chapstick out….Yard Sale, make sure you let him know that he missed out on making it even teams! The youth played great this morning with many long huck opportunities (with drops) and some great D.
Ultimate is such a great game in that it doesnt take much time to get competent at it, and you don’t have to be big to be good (speed helps though). It is the sport I wish I knew about when I was in college. I hope that Wilt and Hash will get their dads and siblings out there and utilize their new consolation prizes and realize what a great sport it is. If anyone is interested in the very active Ultimate scene in RVA, please reach out and I will direct you. Especially the high schoolers going on to college.
Announcements:
-Ultimate again on Thursday at the Forge!
-Convergence Saturday at Dogpile: 0700
Apology of the week (year?) goes out to Fannie Mae for getting my face in the way of his swingy arm thing with the disc. I’m sorry about that, and I am happy to see that the spot on my nose is a bruise and not melanoma. That was a scare for about 10 seconds.
Lab Rat apologizes…

Great Event and teams were evenly matched…Pick – 2 was a beast for our team and we all had a great time. Great Q Lab Rat…looking forward to the next one while we have daylight!
