UPDATE! This site is now just an archive because there’s a Facebook group that has taken its place: https://www.facebook.com/groups/205684897195657 . Please visit that site for game status and updates.

Normally we played every Sunday at Pillow Park (Pillow Elementary) with decent weather, and it ran10am to about 12:30pm. Late arrivals/early departures were not a problem. We did not send a weekly email or post to announce games.

New frisbee players were encouraged to arrive promptly so they can work on throws and harvest the wisdom of the old farts. The field had swings, playsets, and a shaded blacktop. 

If it was between 50 and 110F and mostly dry, we were probably playing.

You can also see the archived emails and game status by clicking the top link under Frisbee-ish News at the right. You can also request a distanced ultimate session by clicking CONTACT and messaging us.

If you’re not sure whether unmodified or distanced ultimate is right for you, we recommend checking out MICROCOVID, a very useful tool for calculating the risk of different activities in your community. One tip: where it asks “How much is everyone talking?” your answer should be “Loud talking” — when playing ultimate we’re all panting and huffing like wildebeesties. 

BRING:

  • lots of cold water
  • a good attitude
  • cleats/turf shoes are optional
  • a light and a dark shirt so we can tell what team you’re on
  • a facemask if you are being cautious or protecting loved ones. You may like the Adidas facemask for airflow.

We welcomed high-skill level players – we had a bunch – but this was a goofball game. We had players from six to 66 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.

COVID RESPONSE: If you play with us and either test positive or learn you have been in contact with a positive case of COVID-19, let us know immediately and we will do the same for our group. Please make sure you are a member of the mailing list (“Join the List!” at the top right) or Facebook group; that is how notifications will be sent.
