The other day, in the park, I was wondering why frisbees look bigger and bigger as they get closer to you. And then it hit meso we finally had our first game of ultimate frisbee.. hrm.. we lost to a decent team 3-6. but thats pretty good considering we were down 0-4 at the start. Our biggest problem is ppl dont clear out on offence... and defence is jsut bad =p offence comes i spose.. as ppl figure out how to stack and where not to stand. theres some potential there.. a lot of ppl on my team throw as well or better than i do.
i dunno what to say about defence... im not sure if ppl are lazy or tired or just confoosed.. but probly a bit of all those things... i guess ur the girls were probly a bit tired sicne we didnt have subs for them. there was more than one occasion where i found myself standing deepest downfield guarding 2 or 3 players wondering "where are my other defenders?". in fact i actually asked to stop the game once to make sure the other team didnt have an extra player on the field =p im not really sure how to teach defence either.. like all i can really say is "dont let your man catch the disc" .. i mean thats all i really do =p but its quite hard to articulate exactly how to go about doing it... *shrugs* i should just tell them to stick their guys like glue... its not the best way.. but it sorta works =p at least the attackers will sorta get weirded out and panick maybe =p
.. it was still pretty fun though.. frisbee is such fun. my throwing was terrible this week.. im lucky there was a bye in div3.. cos i wouldve been totaly suck if id played =p
afterwards we went to some local place for $5 steaks (well i had a $5 steak.. and others got other assotrted meals). it was warm inside.. and the food was quite tasty =)
