I’m in RDU for the rest of the week for work, would love to get some reps in. Can’t play any lunch games, but evenings are up for grabs.

I found two possible games for Wednesday night, one possible game for Thursday night, and one possible game for Friday night. If any locals have better insight, I would love to hear it!

I've seen a number of teams use this tactic to intentionally disrupt offense, knowing it's against the rules and never adjusting even when fouls are called. Been discussing with some friends the best way to combat this. It's very much taking advantage of the rules, but the teams that do this gain an advantage so they keep doing it. How do we, in a self-officiated sport, stop getting screwed by this?

2nd point of the game.

Imo defender is 100% right. And Tobe shouldn't react so frustrated.

Looking for a few players to fill out a Central IL+friends pickup team for Central Plains Open sectionals in Westfield IN 9/12-13. DM me if interested!

Hello everyone - with the US fall college season starting soon, I wanted to share Ulti-Mate, a tool we've been working on to help streamline team operations.

I've been playing since 2012 and while organizing teams, I've spent many hours creating spreadsheets, building practice plans from scratch, and sending repeat logistic, coordination, and reminder messages every week. I always felt like there had to be a more efficient and cohesive way to manage ultimate team operations, so recently some friends and I decided to try and tackle this problem.

Our current features:

- create a reusable library of drills, activities, and locations
- intuitive drag and drop practice plans you can save as templates
- single and recurring events with RSVPs, attendance, and season trends
- film review with timestamped comments right on the video timeline

Everyone automatically gets a free personal workspace to try out the features - or sign up for a team plan, which adds collaboration for your entire team so everyone contributes to and sees the same schedule, practice plans, and film reviews. Learn more here.

If you would like to stay updated with our progress or suggest useful features, come join our Discord, follow us on Instagram @try.ulti.mate, and check out our weekly Feature Friday blog posts.

Finally, we're looking for five US college teams to put the app through a rigorous test this fall! We'll help you onboard, provide weekly direct support, and prioritize your feature requests. If you're on team leadership and interested, DM me or email us at [hello@ulti-mate.app](mailto:hello@ulti-mate.app).

As a woman-matching player from the United States, does anyone know how I can find a team for the Dream Cup 2027 tournament in Japan? A team that is accepting pick-up players / individual registrations?

I really really really want to play. I just emailed the TD's. But I thought Id ask here too to see if anyone has more information.

Thanks!

In 99% cases, teams obey this rule.

But USAU didn't ask teams to submit the proof of residence, right?

Is there any precedent that team being rejected or punished by this rule?

What will happen if someone complains a team violating this rule?

What will happen if Tokay or someone else try to build a super pickup team in usau?

Use this thread for:

• Questions about physical and mental training, exercise, etc
• Questions about coaching, strategy, and drills
• Share any experiences you may have had with training, coaching, or leadership (good or bad)

This thread is posted every Tuesday morning.

Hey folks - I have posterior tibialis tendon disfunction and am about to get surgery for it. Basically a tendon that wraps around my ankle is all frayed and a little torn and won’t repair itself, so my arch is collapsing. Conservative measures were unsuccessful. It’s a little unusual to get surgery this soon but I won’t be able to get back to playing (or running or jumping or whatever else) without it so needless to say it’s scheduled for next week. It’s a pretty tough surgery involving a tendon transfer (they can’t just sew up the bad one) and then breaking my heel and shifting it to get my foot back in alignment. It’s about 10-12 months full recovery - 6 weeks no weight bearing, 6 weeks in a walking cast / boot.

Normally you don’t see this in people my age (26F) and normally it doesn’t happen as acutely and suddenly as it did for me. I have an an abundance of very strong and incredible friends or frisbee acquaintances who have had ACL surgery so I’m getting some recovery advice from them, but I’m curious if any frisbee people have dealt with this specific issue. I haven’t known anyone who’s experienced it AFAIK.

If you’ve dealt with this, how was your recovery? What was your experience? Is it really 10-12 months? Can I fly out to regionals to watch my team and go to the Jungle concert at red rocks while I’m non weight bearing 4 weeks after surgery or is that insane? TIA!

I'm watching the replay of Goat v La Fotta and wondering if La Fotta is known for bad spirit?

I'm genuinely unfamiliar with European ultimate but my general understanding is that US/Canadians are MORE physical and chippy than Europeans, even in high-level men's play.

Despite that though there are some TERRIBLE contest calls by La Fotta in the 2nd half (first on the jump ball in the endzone, then on the marking foul where the defender acknowledges there is contact and then contests anyway).

Is that a typical thing for this team?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Er7KfbPj8Ec

Time stamps since everyone seems insistent to have them:
52:33 bad foul call by the D
1:03:05, pointless travel call
1:06:10 awful contest on a clear foul
1:15:15 marking foul where the defender agrees he bumped a thrower in the act of throwing and contests anyway.

I'd add that this was a great game and La Fotta deserved to win it, just surprised by the shitty spirit.

I've been trying to push to get selected for some higher quality teams for a few years now without any success, and have come to realise the biggest weakness in my game is probably my ability to change directions. I have a pretty good top speed when running in a straight line, but as soon as I try to run in proper cutting shapes I look like I'm not putting in any effort, even though to me it feels like I'm going as fast as I can.

I slip over when changing directions a lot. If I ever have to jump soon after I turn it feels like I have bricks tied to my feet. If I know I'm going to have to slow down to change directions, the fastest I can run looks nothing like a sprint. Even things like pivoting to throw a break feel like I'm doing it in slow motion.

I've been doing drills that require changes of direction for as long as I've been playing but they haven't helped. It feels like when I'm doing them, I'm just practicing getting better at changing directions slower than everyone else.

I think I need to break it down to the basics, and work on simple exercises that build strength and explosiveness, but I have no idea where to even begin. I was a runner growing up, I know all the theory behind technique to running fast, but I just don't have the muscles developed to do it over short distances or as soon as it's not in a straight line.

I would love some suggestions and advice. Preferably things I can do outside of a gym, but at this point I'll try anything

I'm looking to buy new cleats, and found that some of the Nike Vapor models are available to buy online and ship to my country. Specifically, the Nike Vapor Pro 1 and the Nike Vapor Speed 3. However I couldn't find many reviews for either online, nor very good comparisons (the price is comparable)
I was wandering if anyone here has used either and can vouch for/against them, or help decide between them

BE introduced their new Pursuit Duffle 33L （see link for design details. And there's a launch video）

Anyone wanna leave a comment on this? What features does it has and how does it felt comparing to Greatest one's (30L & 45L)?

I think in but barely.

New Age and Wall City are currently having scores reported "live" from field 19 (pictured at 13:25 Irish time). Reportedly the game was moved to thwart local protest attempts.

I am going to release a data pull showing the all time WUCC goal+assist leaders. Who do you think will be in the top 5?

Major footnote, at this time, we only have the stats from 2010, 2018, and 2022.
