Throwing in the Wind

Ultiworld just published a piece today on how to throw in the wind (just in time for our first Spring League game!).  It's a little geeky/technical (talks about wobble vs spin), but is a good read if you are interested to learn about what needs doing when trying to throw during windy days.

If the article is too much, you can check out Brodie Smith's or Rob MacLeod's Youtube videos for something less wordy.  Rob's video was done in collaboration with the CUA a little while ago.

Hope everyone has warm and fun game tonight!

2014 Summer Season Survey

The summer season is fast approaching (despite what the white stuff on the ground says), which means it is time to think about what your Ultimate year is going to look like!

Are you interested in:

2014 Calgary Women's Ultimate Survey

We are again planning to send a second team to Flowerbowl (June 7-8, 2014 in Vancouver) if there is enough interest.  It is an extremely fun tournament and a great introduction to women's ultimate if you've never been to a non-coed tourney before.

If you have any questions, please contact us.
