Dear BD (etc), We're excited to announce trials for a new women's team based in Oxford and Cambridge. Here's what you need to know:
*About trials:* Open trials, *SATURDAY FEB 4th, Oxford* The exact time and place TBD, but it most likely will be a full afternoon session. We're planning a high-intensity trial with emphasis on ultimate fundamentals and game playing. Instead of a traditional top-down session run purely to judge triallists' abilities, our trial will be a 2-way learning opportunity that gives players a chance not only to pick up some ultimate tips but also to experience the ethos of the leadership (i.e. how we run practice, how we see frisbee) and to figure out whether we're a good fit for you this season. If you are on the fence about playing this season, about playing with us, or if you're merely looking for a good skills workout, we encourage you to come along and check out the team. Please also let us know if you're in town for the Midlands UWIR on the Sunday and coming to trials means you'd need a place to stay overnight. * About the team:* We are starting a new team based on a commitment to beautiful frisbee, awesome people, and realizing potential. We'll be practicing alternately in Oxford and Cambridge, and are looking for women based nearby in the Midlands (or for anyone who doesn't mind commuting to practice...). 2012 will be our rookie season, so there's no team history, but we'll be gearing up for UK Tour under the leadership of Lily Huang, Lucy Barnes, and Magali Kostov. Some of the most important stuff (team name! precise schedule) will need input from the team, once selected, but if you have questions please get in touch with us at [email protected]. You can also check out our (rudimentary) blog/website at http://cambridgeoxfordwomens.blogspot.com. Our vision is to build a team based on realizing the individual and collective potential of all the players involved, working together to play to the very best of our ability. As a new team, we're not entirely sure where that ability will get us, but we're super psyched about the journey. Thus we are looking for women of all levels who want to make the same commitment to improve themselves, and their teammates, and playing competitive ultimate. If this sounds like you-- whether you're a rising star, seasoned veteran, or anything in between-- come out and play! See you on the field, Lily, Lucy & Mags ps. Uni captains, please pass this on to any women on your teams who may not be on BD/UKUW but might be interested! __________________________________________________ BritDisc mailing list [email protected] http://www.fysh.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/britdisc Staying informed - http://www.ukultimate.com/staying-informed
