The indoor teams as chosen (mostly) by Simon were sent on the email, but they're not set in stone and could change if you particularly impress him tomorrow night. Or if you chump it like a n00b. "Tomorrow" is 8-9pm in Hills Road 6th form college (map http://www.hrsfc.ac.uk/contact/map.asp ) and you should be there at 7.45pm with £2.50, light and dark top, indoor shoes and a disc if you have one. Practice is advanced, and open to anyone, not just people coming to regionals, so if you want to play any more indoors in the future (mixed regionals for example, or any open events) you should come. That sounded more threatening than I intended...

There are new hoodies for sale. Just contact the shop if you want some (go to "How to get discs/kit") and order some. Alternatively talk to Pedro on Sundays practices.

08.Oct.2007

It's time to start up the winter college league. Could you please send an email to Nathan (nk294) with all the teams you wish to enter asap. The exact format and timing of the league this year will depend on the number of teams entering so the sooner this is known the better.
The situation has not changed since last year regards playing on Jesus Green, so could you please also email him the pitches you have at your disposal.

Freshers Week is upon us! This means we have one week to seduce / cajole / kidnap as many freshers (and other people who have not been "indoctrinated" into the frisbee-loving world) and with a combination of impressive skills, impressive socialising and subtle forms of mind-control, make them think we are the coolest thing outside of Fonzie's underpants. For this week only, we will therefore be having multiple practices / beginner sessions / gratuitous opportunities to show off. Check the programme for the week here.

24.Sep.2007

Freshers fair will be on Tuesday October 2nd from 1pm to 7pm, and Wednesday October 3rd from 11am to 4pm. This is that time of the year where SB lures new players into playing ultimate. Find out more here.

The Open team finished 14th at UKUA Open Nationals. This equates to being 13th in the UK as there was a foreign team in the top 10 (Nationals coincided with the regions qualification tournament for clubs Europeans). Read more about the team's performance here.

23.Aug.2007

Apparently it's a good idea for teams to know who's shouting at them from the sidelines and whether it's worth paying attention to them or not. As such, I strongly recommend paying attention to Simon and Paul during this coming year, as they will be student and open captains respectively. May the blood of their enemies run freely and their offspring be numerous.

SB took two squads to Tour 2, held in Mansfield.
The women's team had a very challenging weekend as they were competing in the top 8 pool, in their second participation ever in the women's division.
With a set of very hard games against the top seeds and a team that got reduced to 10 women (after two injuries) they managed once again to stay top 8. Congratulations!
The open team had a cracking weekend with solid and comfortable wins in most of their games to qualify for Division A.
We're all waiting for tour 3 now, to consolidate our positions…

14.June.2007

From this week onward, there will be a group which will have 'closed' advanced training together on Tuesday evenings on Jesus Green from 6pm, providing a basis to train towards playing at Tour in the summer while also meeting the City Council's guidelines for our appropriate use of Jesus Green. Find out who is part of the advanced, invite-only Tuesday sessions here.

05.Apr.2007

From Sunday inclusive, practices will be back on Jesus Green. The current structure will remain, but due to everyone's work commitments it seems sensible to start the midweek sessions (Tue practice and Thu throwing) at 5.30, beginning next week.

With the state of Jesus Green literally shaking the ground beneath the great frisbee foot of Strange Blue, the Exec got to thinking about what we've got here, how good it is and where to take it. For a sport that traditionally struggles with being marginalised, we've got a huge level of involvement and commitment, an increasing position in the community and a wealth of talent. So what to do?

14.Jan.2007

College league games have changed their format. The use of Jesus Green has been limited during the winter months, mainly during Lent term, in order to preserve the grass. As a consequence, large events such as the college winter league and cuppers can no longer take place in that or any other public parks. This extends to college practices that were using Jesus Green or Parkers piece and to strange blue practices alike, especially when the grass is considerably wet. College league teams’ captains will have a meeting soon to discuss the new format. This new format will require colleges to provide playing grounds for the rest of the winter league season. More will follow soon.
