7 studs from near and far kicked off their Summer Tour with an intense game of Ultimate Frisbee at the Forge. YHC provided a little warm-up COP in time for Fresh Prince to arrive and make the teams uneven. The small soccer field and low numbers provided for a fast-paced game, where the team of three got their legs run off and the team of four typically made the touchdown. We flip-flopped the extra man enough times to be generally confused who was actually on each team, and it was impossible to keep score. The secret sauce in the end…

No cadence needed warm up consisting of: Walking Russian Soldiers, Walking Arm Circles, Walking Helicopters, Walking Drunken Hillbillies, Carioka, Incline Merkins. May have missed a few.
