Ladies-Only Fitness

Hi Ladies,

It's that time of year again, the weather is getting colder and it's not so comfortable working out outside. Which means, Lucky's going to start running indoors ladies-only workouts again!

Here are the details:

• When: Monday evenings, starting Nov 1*
  
• Time: 8:15 pm to 9:30 pm
• Location: 316 7th Ave SE (Calgary Police Administration building)
• Cost: $2/session

There is space for you to change and leave your things in a secure room. Make sure that you bring a water bottle and wear appropriate clothing and shoes. The gym is super dry, so a water bottle is a must!

The sessions are open to any lady, so if you know of someone who is interested please feel free to spread the word. The workouts will focus be whole-body focused. We'll do a lot of circuits and weight lifting with some cardio. The sessions will be as hard as you decide to make them.

Please email Lucky or calgarywomensultimate@gmail.com to get on the indoor fitness email list.

USAU Championships – Happening Now!

Just a quick heads up that the USA Ultimate Club Championships just started today! A bunch of Canadian teams are competing, including FigJam from Calgary. In the women's division, we have three teams to cheer for from Canada:

• Traffic from Vancouver
• Storm from Montreal
• Capitals from Ottawa/Toronto (mix of Stella/Lotus)
  

They will be playing the top teams from across the USA, including Fury from the Bay Area (2010 World Champions) and Riot from Seattle (finished in the top 2 at Club Championships five out of six times in the past six years).

To follow the action:

• Check out the preview of the women's division
• See real-time scores for the women's games
  
• Video highlights will be posted at the end of each day (probably accessible from the main USAU webpage)
• Finals will be webcast live on Sunday (but unfortunately the women's final starts at 7 am Calgary time)
• See more women's photos like the one below from iamultimate
  

GO CANADA!!! :)

Hat Tourney Recap

A big belated thanks to all the ladies who helped lend a hand in preparing for and running the Wild Rose & Figjam Phat Hat Tourni last month! The day was a huge success as we hosted six coed teams for a day full of fun ultimate under sunny skies. Wild Rose and Figjam used the tourni as a fundraising event so thanks to everyone who came out to play and support the touring teams. Robert E. from Figjam has posted some pics from the day -- check them out here.

PS. Plans for a spring hat tourney are in the works.... :-)

You Go Girl!

Calling all ultimate ladies in Calgary with a lunch-hour to spare...The Calgary Ultimate Association has passed along word of a program called "Go-Girl" that is looking for volunteers to help put on an ultimate frisbee session for young girls on November 13. Don't worry, you won't be left to wing it -- the CUA has a "lesson plan" type package that it would provide, as well as a teaching kit that the CUA Juniors Coordinator uses for his school clinics. Basically, we'd just want you to go out and throw the disc around with girls. Fun right? You betcha! If you're interested, please contact communications@calgaryultimate.org and we'll get you signed up.
