Last year at the European Ultimate Club Championships the UK entered a single masters team, Age Against the Machine, and we finished runners up to a very organised Helsinki team. This year, with the first part of a long term plan, we are following this up by entering the World Ultimate Club Championships in Prague (we have our place confirmed) during July. The plan this time is to be, at the very least, the top finishing European team and compete equally with the American teams and their like.
We are currently looking for around 5-10 more players to improve the squad and help us achieve our aims. We already have a very strong core made up of previous GB masters players and club players all of whom have been competing in top tour teams before playing for AATM. We would expect all AATM players to bring good handling skills and experience with them, but also to complement that by getting as fit as possible and being prepared to run their asses off on O or D, sufficiently to shame many an A-tour youngster. Specifically we are looking for: 1) Players who will turn 33 before the end of 2010 (this year) 2) Players who are already playing and practising regularly, and can add strength and depth to the team. 3) Can attend our trial on 13th Feb (in Leicester) AND/OR join us to play at either MWL4 on the 14thFeb in Nottingham or the EMO invitational on the weekend of 27/28th Feb in Loughborough 4) Players who are up for the challenge of a week-long Championships against the best in the World We will be having one day monthly training sessions, and we will be entering and playing the UKU tour as AATM, as a warm-up for Worlds. If you would like to register interest, or to discuss the opportunities in more detail, please contact Scott ([email protected]) or Simon ([email protected]) Age Against the Machine - aiming to improve the quality of masters Ultimate in the UK for the next generation.
