Ultimate in Midcoast Maine

Hey everyone. Sunday, June 19 at 2pm Damariscotta pick up is at Lincoln Academy on Academy Hill in Newcastle.

Ok, I’m finally able to get these photos up on the site.  They are also available on the facebook 52 pick-up ultimate page, but for those non-facebookers out there here they are.  I put low resolution photos up to save space, but if anyone wants a full resolution shot just send me an e-mail.

The tournament really was amazing, partly because we did so well, but mostly because we had such a fun group of people to play with.  It says something that I was just as happy watching everyone else play as getting in the game myself.  Thanks again to Perry for organizing it, you are amazing.

What a lovely day for a game of ultimate. We had a great showing with 7 on a side, and one or two people available to sub-in.

Next week, there will be a cookout after the game at Josh’s house. See you all then!

It’s true! DamFast won the Get the Led Out 2011 Ultimate frisbee tournament in Cumberland, Maine this past weekend. It was a fantastic event, lovely weather, healthy players, and wonderful day of games.

I’m going to open up this site to any DamFast, 52pickup, and Belfast ultimate members who want to contribute photos, blogs, whatever. All you need to do is register. After I get your registration request, I add permissions to your account so you can post photos and blog entries.

In the meantime, here are some photos from GTLO, courtesy Jason:

There’s an auxiliary practice date this Friday combining Belfast and Damariscotta frisbee nuts. Go if you can!

Hi Folks,

In anticipation of our upcoming tournament, I’m uploading a draft of the team T. The idea came from Bruce M. and the intrepid Perry. I’ve taken a very simple approach in order to keep costs down (shading and multiple colors all increase costs).

Please take a look and post comments to let me know your thoughts.

Version 1, Eyes Wide Shut Tournament T

Nothing beats ultimate frisbee on father’s day. Despite the forecast for rain a number of hardy souls made it to GSB for the 3pm game. A number of complete beginners arrived. I love sharing the sport with newbies and I think they all had fun. Around 4pm the lightning started, first off in the distance, and then closing in. I can’t be sure but it felt like we were in the eye of the storm for a while before it hit us in full. After a short discussion we put the game on hold while we ran to the cars to avoid getting struck by the now much closer lightning. By 4:30 the rain had mostly passed and we resumed the game for another 45 minutes.

Thanks to all who came! See you on 6/27

When it snows, the fun really begins
