Two clubs in one weeked

Hi avid readers,

This weekend saw Canberra's two mixed clubs take to fields around the city. Although each club is at a very different stage in their journey it's a super exciting time for both clubs and well worth hearing about.

New Canberra club Soma started training on Sunday afternoon. It's great to see another club forming in the ACT. It'll give a much needed opportunity for local players to enjoy tournament ultimate and build and develop their skills. Unfortunately I couldn't make it along to their session but if anyone has any details they want to share it would be great to get a write-up to stick on the blog. Hopefully I'll get a chance to meet the crew and see how things are shaping up soon. Stay tuned for more details on this awesome development in the local scene.

Old Canberra club Kaboom had their second last training camp this weekend in preparation for the World Ultimate Club Championships in Prague in July. With the big event creeping ever closer Kaboom (minus local heart-thob Andrew Jackson and interstate weapon Michelle Philips who were at training camps for the national under 23s teams) had a strong weekend of high level and high intensity ultimate. Look out for an article (hopefully flattering) on Kaboom in that paragon of local reputable journalism "City News". There might even be some photos of somewhat dishevelled Kaboom players braving the cold nights at training last Thursday.

OK, my takeaway is no doubt ready so I'd better sign off. Keep an eye out for players from the local mixed scene at league or around the traps and stay tuned for more details on the exciting ultimate the ACT is producing.
