    Anybody here play ultimate frisbee??

    So tomorrow my summer league for ultimate frisbee starts. I'm so pumped!!! It's every Tuesday night from 6:30-8:30 for 8 weeks!!!

    I've played a few pickup games before, but nothing organized. My team had one practice, and that helped me get some of the basic strategies down (marking, forcing, stack offense, etc.), but I guess we'll see how it goes once we're in a real game.

    Anyways, just wanted to see if anybody else on Op Sports plays. In the few times I've played, I've had a blast, just because it feels so much different than the other sports I play (mainly pickup basketball now, also played baseball in high school).

    The only downside is that for some reason, my teams color is hot pink.......and I'm not joking.

          I can only imagine.......I've played with guys who played for their undergrad club teams (mainly from B10 schools) and they're damn good. I mean, it seems like they can whip the disc anywhere they want on the field.

          As for myself, my backhand is alright, but I'm still very new to throwing a forehand. I think I can comfortably make a 10-15 yard pass with my forehand, but still every once in a while my forehand will be terrible. The best thing I've got going for me is that I'm 6'4", and I'm ok at a high-release backhand.

            Yea.

            I played all the time, not in a league or anything, but we played pickup games a lot. I tore my acl at the last game though, so I'm not playing anymore for awhile.

            Yea, some guys are amazing with their throwing. I completley suck throwing forehand to the point that I never do it anymore. I'm decent throwing backhand, but nothing special. I'm usually one of the fastest players playing, I catch everything, and I'm really good on defense.

            It's a lot of fun.

              Yeah...when we used to play after school I was the guy who always ended up just catching the touchdowns and scoring because I couldn't really throw...so either I'd be the "give-'n-go" person, or I'd just be the one out-running everyone and scoring.

                I hated the Ultimate Frisbee folks at Colorado School of Mines. It's a fairly small, dorky engineering school so we didn't have a lot of open space. Anyway, the IM fields were always occupied by the Greek teams, so the only place my buds and I could play football or whatever was the commons. Then the frisbee kids would come and kick us off, playing hardcore tackle football or rugby, only to be replaced by little prancing frisbee throwers. We even had to play the "sport" in the mandatory freshman gym class.

                  never really played it. I got to see some national competition down in Savannah during St. Patrick's day week though. Oklahoma beat UConn in the final. Not sure if it was just a national intramural thing or what, but the Oklahoma team was beast. They were all a bunch of 6'5" hippies, and they just murdered everyone.

                    Yeah, it was a club team. My favorite was the guy who could jump and catch the frisbee then throw it behind his back 30 yards all in the air.

                      played for a while a couple years ago... but I never joined our club team at school or anything, what I've found fun that involves frisbees is Frisbee Golf... you want to talk about a fun time, Frisbee Golf, some beer, and some good friends makes for a great afternoon.

                        Played during lag time between classes on campus. Sometimes after school, if there was girls involved in the game.

                            Yes, frisbee golf (or disc golf, or frolf, LOL) is great!! I'm gonna play a round this weekend.

                              You should play where you HAVE to hold a drink while throwing. Makes it a little more difficult.
