Test #1

Things seem to be going alright with the team.... well, attendance is down, but everyone seems pretty excited to be out and playing when they are in fact out and playing. It seems like we have 2-4 committed freshmen at this point. I occasionally see others out at practice, and there are starting to be more women with the birth of our women's Ultimate team (Nun-chuk, is it?), but we need more. Bring your friends, how hard can that be?

Our first test comes this weekend against American University. It should be a pretty relaxed game with an opportunity to play in a more competitive environment as well as a chance to learn some of the rules of the game. We'll play a game to 13 or 15 and then mix up the two squads to form two teams of CUA and AU players and play another game. It should be a great chance for the two teams to get to know each other and just enjoy some competitive Ultimate. Not to mention this is a good warm-up for both of our teams for Club Sectionals.

Hopefully we can start pulling better numbers at practice soon or else we'll need to shake things up a bit. I can't stand having 12-16 players at each practice...it just isn't enough to help us improve.
