Ultimate Weekend

"Beep, beep, beep!" the alarm yelled at 8am. After a full Friday night, this is not the sound anyone wants to hear on a cold Saturday morning in November. Groggy, I pushed off the covers, pulled on my cleats and headed off to play in an Ultimate tournament that lasted from 9am to 4pm. It was a long day, but proved to be well worth the effort--even for a night-owl like me. Ultimate (often called Ultimate Frisbee) is popular sport and has recently been catapulted to a college craze that students participate in weekly. Whether you want a full-scale, cohesive army to battle in tournaments, or just want to have a low key pick-up game with friends, Ultimate is a great way to have fun and get your blood pumping.

If you've never seen it, here's your chance. Below is a video from the Ultimate College Nationals last year.
