This will be my fourth year with Ohio Ultimate but only my second year on the A-team. I also commit my summers to Ultimate Frisbee playing on club teams either from Athens (A-Block) or from the Columbus area (Matador). Since I have started playing Ultimate Frisbee I have tried to acquire more and more knowledge on the sport. Seeking information not only from coaches and captains, at tournaments and in games but also from online sites devoted to Ultimate Frisbee. These means have helped make me more of an Ultimate Frisbee expert but there are still things that I have yet to learn which I plan to explore in the future.

Easterns 2013

Like I stated in my previous blog entry, Easterns 2013 is next weekend March 23-24. This tournament has some of the best teams in the nation and a lot of potential National Qualifiers.

Here is a link to the score reporter page on the tournament which will have up-to-date scores of the games. The site is currently not filled in yet because pools have not been finalized yet. It should have the pools and brackets available come closer to the weekend.

Here are the current rankings of all the Ultimate Frisbee teams in the Nation.  We are currently ranked 17th in the Nation and only the top 20 teams acquire a strength bid for their region. Wish us luck!

OU Ultimate Twitter

If anyone would like to follow OU Ultimate on twitter here is the link. We have live tweeting from the sidelines with up to date scores of games. On occasion you might receive a "fun" tweet about some of the odd things the team does on road trips or even what the team does off the field. 

Next weekend we will be going to Easterns in Wilmington, NC and this is our biggest tournament which could make or break our second trip to Nationals. 


Ultimate Frisbee Greatest

The top play that any Ultimate Frisbee player could perform is called the "Greatest". During a "greatest", a disc is floating out of bounds. An offensive player jumps from in-bounds and catches the disc and releases the disc before their feet touch the ground. The thrown disc is then caught from another player on the same team for a score.

Here is one performed by Nick Wetzel who was on the OU team that went to Nationals last year in 2012. This was during a game against regional rivals Pitt at Michigan Indoor in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
