About Ultimate Frisbee Pickup @ Lake Creek
Our Ultimate Frisbee Pickup Game
One of the more beginner-friendly ultimate frisbee pickup games in Austin, the Lake Creek ultimate pickup game is co-ed, every Sunday with decent weather, and runs about 10 to 12:15p. Sometimes we run on ultimate time (10:30a) but we try to be good. (Right, folks?)
New frisbee players are encouraged to arrive early so they can work on throws and harvest the wisdom of the old farts.
BRING:
- lots of cold water
- cleats if you have them
- a good attitude
- trimmed fingernails are recommended
- a light and a dark shirt so we can tell what team you’re on.
We welcome high skill level players – we have a bunch – but remember that this is a goofball game. We’ve had players from six to 60 years of age. Please dish the disk to the newbies when possible and be nice if they drop it. And if you’re the person dropping the disk — don’t worry, we’ve all bolluxed up easy catches more times than you can imagine.
Check here for a very quick summary of the ultimate frisbee rules. We do have one variation: In an official game, if you drop a pull (kickoff), it’s a turnover, kind of like fumbling a football kickoff. In our game, it’s a little more casual. You keep possession, but you’re obligated to perform a rough approximation of a cartwheel. If you’re not gymnastic, like me, you just flop on the ground and get up again.
We play at the football field for Grisham Middle School (the school address is 10805 School House Lane, Austin). It’s a high-crown field with decent grass and great drainage. Can be a little hard in the summer but arguably it’s the 2nd best ulty field in Austin. If it’s between 50 and 110F and mostly dry, we’re probably playing. We also usually run a carpool from central Austin. Contact us if you’d like to get in on that.
