Nationals 2010

Nationals is now over.

Final placings are on the AFDA site: http://www.afda.com/trashtalk/showarticle.php?articleid=732

Congratulations to FU and FG for their performances. FU finished 4th and FG finished 9th. Both teams would have liked to have finished higher but were pleased with playing some excellent ultimate. The competition this year was very strong in both divisions.

I-Beam from Newcastle took out the Open division while Team Box from Melbourne won the Women's division.

Good luck to our Nationals teams

The Australian Ultimate Championships are on this weekend in Adelaide. Canberra will be represented by two teams, Fyshwick United in the Open Division and the Factory Girls in the Women's Division. Both teams have been working hard in preparation for the big event and the four days from Saturday through to Tuesday are their chance to turn that hard work into eternal glory and acclaim.

If you're interested in how the tourney is going, keep an eye on www.afda.com for updates. Unfortunately we can't even keep this blog updated or relevant, so there's little chance of any specific updates from Canberra folk as such. We should, however, get a mention in the daily summaries that usually get put up.

Good luck to both teams from the Canberra Ultimate Blog: Play well and stay healthy. If you see any FU or FG players around (look for the trademark aweful orange shirts of FU or the sleek royal blue shirts of the FGs) pass on your best wishes and adulation and try to get them to play on your league team. After all, they're your representatives, surely you should get some value out of that...

ACT Ultimate Development

Hi All,

My name is AJ (Andrew Jackson) and I have been employed by the ACT Ultimate Association to promote and grow our great sport of Ultimate in the ACT. I have been talking to ACT teachers and am hoping to have an inter-school league running by the end of the year. I am also looking to run some training sessions for high school and college teachers. As well as training teachers I am hoping to go into colleges and do some coaching during PE lessons.

I will be looking for some suitable coaches (level 1 or experienced) to help go into schools. If you are interested please send me an email to andrew99dot46 at hotmaildotcom (replacing the 'at' and the 'dot' s) or come and say hello to me at league. I will be wearing a Discotheque shirt with AJ and 12 on the back.

If you are an ACT teacher and want to get your school involved please also send me an email or come and talk to me. The more support the better.

AJ
