Training for Fyshwick United the (ACT men's team) starts tomorrow. It's at O'Connor playing fields (off Pedder St, near All Bar Nun) and will run from 6:30 to 9:00 every Thursday night. Get there at 6:15 to give yourself time to cleat up and talk smack. Training is open to all comers and new players are most welcome.
The team is looking forward to a new season with a bunch of new faces. It's looking like another great season with Pete Hemphill, Jonno Holmes and Andrew Jackson running the show. This is great chance to get coaching from some of the best players and coaches in the country, and they're keen to give new players an opportunity to train and improve. There's also some momentum gathering to send two men's teams to nationals this year, so this is the time to show up and get involved.
The lads will be heading to the conveniently located All Bar Nun after training for some serious debriefing.
For those ladies feeling left out by the FU bromance about to take place, Factory (the ACT women's team) is running it's reputedly awesome beginner's clinics on Thursday night at O'Connor as well. Not only are these devoid of smelly boys, they finish earlier so you can get dinner at the pub. The sessions kick of at 5:45 for a 6:00 start. Rumour has it that this week will even include a game at the end of the session. If you want to kick arse like the Factory div 3 team, this is way to do it.
THERE'S ALSO THE WOMEN'S HAT ON SATURDAY. CHECK WWW.FACTORYULTIMATE.COM FOR MORE INFO.

Fyshwick United 09
Hi Ya'll,
The FU campaign for nationals 09 is already up and running. If you're looking to play some fun, competitive ultimate over the next 6 months and you're ready to take your frisbee relationship to a new level then Fyshwick United is the club for you.
We'll be aiming to take teams to several tournaments over the season. February will see us attend "Share the Love" in Sydney and the CB Invitational in Canberra. March takes us to Regionals in a yet-to-be-announced location. April will see the truly dedicated fly East to defend our title at New Zealand Nationals before we split our squad between Nationals in Perth and Bationals in Canberra. There should be plenty of opportunities to get some tournament time in whether you're a worlds veteran on our A team or a rookie looking to make a name for yourself.
If you're thinking about playing club level ultimate for the first time (club level ultimate is between various clubs from different cities and is usually more competitive and of a higher standard than leagues, university ulty or hat tournaments) then head along to the development clinics running after divisions 2 and 3 on Tuesdays. Talk to the coaches there about what to expect at FU training. We're looking for the right attitude and athleticism rather than for experience so come and introduce yourself on Tuesday nights and see if FU is what you're looking for.
If you're ready to dive straight in training will run on Thursday nights at O'Connor, starting in a few weeks (I'll have a precise date for you shortly). We'll be going over the basics for the first few weeks to give new players a chance to get up to speed then we'll be building towards the tournament season starting in February.
Playing for Fyshwick United is heaps of fun, lots of effort and will work wonders for your ultimate. So guys, dust off your most garish orange shirt, wash your sweatbands and tell your partner not to wait up. It's open season!

Kaboom Training
Hi All,
Kaboom, the ACT's new mixed ultimate club, starts training on the 21st of August (that's next Thursday) at 6:15 at the O'Connor playing fields, at the field nearest the O'Connor shops near the Pedder street car park. Coaches will be available from 6:00 to assist players with any questions or goals they may have and players are expected to be cleated up and ready to run at 6:15. Training will end by 9:00 (some sessions may end earlier).
Training is expected to stay at O'Connor until mid September but may move after that because of changes in the ACT Sportsgrounds' field allocations between the winter and summer booking periods.
All ACT players are welcome to attend training, but the standard of play and the expectations of players at the club level are quite different to those in other levels of ACT ultimate. If you're unsure about whether training is what you're looking for, you're most welcome to attend the introductory bridging session of the 14th of August (this Thursday) at 6:15 at the O'Connor fields (the same location as training on the 21st). This session will give players the basic skills needed to get the most out of club level training and will outline some of the differences you can expect. As outlined in our introductory message (http://canberraultimate.blogspot.com/2008/07/kaboom-mixed-act-ultimate.html) we hope to send three teams to tournaments this year and this season should provide opportunities for players of all levels to attend tournaments.
If you have any questions about attending training or about tournaments during the mixed season please email me at "who dot is dot the dot schmooze at gmail dot com".
All players who hope to play Mixed Nationals should attend training, as should players who are unable to attend tournaments but are looking to take a more focused approached to their ultimate. Sessions will be run by Pete "Mad Dog" Hemphill with assistance from John "Bags" Horan. Players interested in playing in the upcoming mixed season should register at http://www.afda.com/rego/showcompetition.php?competitionid=509.
I hope to see you all this (or next) Thursday.
John, on behalf of the Kaboom stewards, Tom Watson, Mica Hartley and John Horan.
