Thanks to the snow on the ground, I'm sure ultimate is one of the furthest things from your minds these days (especially since Winter League doesn't start till January). Lucky for you, I've come across another video to keep you psyched for playing outdoors again next spring! Ultivillage just released a highlight reel of their World Juniors coverage in Germany this summer. The girls teams (aka future womens teams!) got some great exposure in this video - in fact, Canada's girls are even featured as the intro clip, where a great sideline flip lets them put up a huge huck and a layout for the score!! .....Mental note - we should do this more! ;-)
Layouts seemed to the be theme for this reel - those kids sure like to leave their feet! But it just goes to show, leading passes are where it's at because it puts the disc that extra bit out of reach of a potential defender and lets you run hard onto it. Say, maybe that snow on the ground can be put to good use this winter....doll yourself up in a full body snowsuit and go practice your layouts! ;-) Or maybe just watch this video and get excited for Spring League.....

Let us know your favourite clip from the reel - post your comments below!
(Helpful Hint: don't watch this using Firefox, there seems to be some formatting problems on the Ultivillage page when using that browser. Safari worked fine, so I am assuming others will too.)
And PS: Thanks to all the ladies who helped out with the 'Go-Girl' session last month to help teach local girls how to play ultimate. Hope it was fun!
