Ultimate Frisbee

emon87 · #1 08-25-2007, 12:53 AM

So from the athletic socks thread, it was pretty clear that a number of people on this board play Ultimate, and someone suggested starting a thread. So here it is.

I play Ultimate for Northwestern University. For those who don't know, colleges treat Ultimate as a Club sport, so it gets some recognition and funding from the schools (highly school-dependant, however). I've been playing for four years now.

I also play a ton of Ultimate in the summer, since I come home to Seattle, where there is a ton of Ultmate being played. I play on a summer league team and with the U of Washington team.

So if you play, post here; where you live/who you play for/how long/whatever.

Have played since I was in high school in 1993 or so. I played 4 years at the University of Illinois, captaining the team my senior year. After moving to Chicago, played with decent men's and co-ed teams for around 4 years, then a very good co-ed team that made Nationals in 2003. I have been out of competitive Ultimate until this year. Played a few tournaments here or there, played some league stuff in madison in the past year. Now playing in Chicago with Mr. Briefcase, which went to Nationals in the co-ed division last year. We'll see about this year. The team is supposedly better, so hopefully it will be another trip to Sarasota.

Guy jumps over another guy in ultimate frisbee

I just figured that this was a neat link I'd seen that is related to this topic.

Ahh beau kittredge...he's really just a big dumb animal (nice kid actually, he's from fairbanks and I'm from Anchorage, so we've played together a fair amount)

I've played for ever, started in College (Carleton), played club for a few years (Sub Zero) and now play mostly coed (probably playing the Carleton Co-ed monstrosity in the series this year. Booyeah...)
