Ever had a question about the rules that you just couldn’t get a straight answer on? At this year’s conference Flo Pfender is one of our guest speakers. In addition to being on the WFDF rules committee and a key member of the team that has been updating the rules in the last few years, Flo is also on the UPA rules committee. One of the main goals of the current work on the WFDF rules is to provide a guidance document to sit alongside the rules. What do you think needs to go in there?
Been playing ultimate a little while now? Have you noticed that it can be quite tough on your body? Jeff Jackson will be talking about long term athlete development in the context of ultimate. Find out more about how doing the right things can make you a better player. Apparently its never too late. Matt-Bob Hims played for DoG from 2001 to 2006 – playing in the final of WUCC 2002 amongst other things. He’s been back here a little while now, and played for Fire in 2008. I asked him to talk about cutting, and space, and not being in each other’s way. Expect to hear more about DoG’s philosophies on offence than Catch 22’s… Information about where the UKU Board thinks we should be going with ultimate in this country Find out about what we’ve been doing in schools… did you know that every secondary school in the country recently received a set of resources about various sports that included ultimate? News about Level 2 coaching awards Meet the folks on the Competition Committee and give them your views on how it should all work… Or just come and take a look at how the other half live! The National Tennis Centre was office building of the year last year. The indoor courts have under-floor heating that allows them to change the bounce characteristics of the surface in order to mimic the conditions at the players’ next tournament. And they’re letting us use it for virtually nothing (er, not the courts obviously).
