Tues, June 1 – Dumping & Sideline O

For tomorrow’s practice, we’ll be working on dump passes and getting the disc off the sideline (e.g., if there was an out-of-bounds pass by the other team, the pull rolled out, someone on our team caught it near the sideline, etc.). All ladies are welcome, we start at 6:30 pm sharp at the Market Mall fields. Bring a white and a dark shirt, lots of water, and a disc!

Thurs May 27 – Practice Moved to Shouldice

Practice tonight is ON, but due to the rain our location is changing to the turf fields at Shouldice Athletic Park. We’ll be scrimmaging and running around lots, but dress warm and wear lots of layers. Consider this excellent practice for playing in inclement weather -- a skill that will make you a true threat on the field! Bring extra socks for the drive home. See you all soon!!
