[M]any players are going beyond simple workouts and using specialized combinations of workout modalities to increase the gains they see.

Both 17-year-old Caitlind Lusty and 19-year-old Shaw Dungate of Barrie have something in common... Having been named to their respective Canadian teams, the pair has qualified for a week of grueling international competition in a sport many have never heard of.

Another educational Ultimate site just went live -
From the OpenUltimate FAQ:

One of the challenges of coaching is having young players as well as older players understand the difference in the window of opportunity of i/o throws and o/i throws. Especially break throws.

No matter what level of team here in the northeast, at least once a game, there is always the dreaded i/o break turnover to someone making a cone cut from the back of the stack.

Every team in a Region gets to vote for the seven players that make it on to the All-Region teams, so everyone knows that if a player is on an All-Region team, she commanded the attention and respect of her regional rivals. For the 2008 season, there are 18 players across the country that have been recognized as All-Region caliber (some more than once!).

Ultimate started out as a hippie game, with people tossing around a Frisbee for fun, but it's become a hard-core sport with a cult following. The only laid-back thing left might be tardiness.

Without a doubt, women’s ultimate is growing around the world with more people playing and with more teams competing at a higher level. WUGC 2008 was a testament to that growth.

Anyone in Columbus interested in playing competitive ultimate in the fall/winter, we're looking for players.
