Are you a man? Do you play frisbee? Then Real Mitchell needs YOU!

Real Mitchell FC is Canberra's newest Mens ultimate frisbee team.

We have two goals: development and fun. Our brother club Fyshwick United will look to win first division nationals in 2012. Our sights are set on winning the more relaxed second division nationals.

Are you a:

- league player looking to step up to club ultimate?

- young gun looking to develop your game and play for Fyshwick in future seasons?

- experienced player, who wants to play fun club level ultimate, but can't train multiple times a week?

- player trying out for Fyshwick, but who would still like to play Mens ultimate if you don't make their squad?

Then Real Mitchell is for you.

We'll start training early next year (1 night a week) and will look to head to some great tourneys, culminating in Division 2 Nationals in Melbourne in mid-April.

Awesome! I'm interested. What do I do next? Send Brett (brettdavidmassey@gmail.com) an email NOW. We'll make sure you're in the loop when we start our campaign next year.

Craig, Phil and Brett

Mens Development - Invite all your friends

The Canberra men's team Fyshwick United is running 4 development sessions starting Thursday 24 Nov (moved back one week to finish mens league which was postponed due to weather). Everyone is welcome and encouraged to come...so long as your a guy. Don't worry if your a girl, Factory have something for you (see below).

Fyshwick training will look to develop the basic skills that every ultimate player should have so whether your a beginner or an advanced player there will be something for you. If your interested in playing for Fyshwick next year, you should come along as well, as these sessions will be used to select a training squad for next year.

Training starts at 6.30 (cleats on at 6.15) and will go for a couple of hours, problably followed by a trip to the pub.

Factory Beginners' Clinics 2011!

FACTORY BEGINNER'S CLINICS: Thursday October 20- Thursday November 24, 5.45 for 6.00-7.00, O'Connor playing fields.
http://www.factoryultimate.com/beginners-clinic.html

Beginners' Clinics are back this year! After the overwhelming success of the clinics last year, Factory has decided to run another set of 6 clinics, leading into the rest of our glorious season. Though the clinics are aimed at Beginners, there's plenty for everyone to learn, so if you came along to last year's clincis, or if you play Frisbee in league, or if you have never heard of Frisbee but would like to give it a go, please go to the website and sign up!

Also, please invite your friends to come along. Last year we had around 40 lovely ladies at the clinics. I think this year we can hit retirement age (the big 65!- that's what retirment age is now, right?). Impossible? If everyone invites 2 friends, we'll be well over 65. So think, who are your 2 friends going to be?

Div 3

Cost

The cost to enter a whole team in Spring League will be $350.

We also recognise that some players will not have a team and may need to register as individuals. We will endeavour to find you a team. If we are successful you will be advised when to pay your league fee which will be $30. Payment will be required before the league commences. These steps should avoid the hassle of having to chase fees.

Registration Process

Teams

Team captains who want to register a team can send a request to me. You must supply three things. They are:

- the division you would like to register in,
- your team name; and
- your AFDA number.

If there is room we will create a team registration site. You have 3 working days to pay the $350 team payment. If payment is not received the team will be removed from the registration site.

Teams will be required to have a minimum of 6 male and 4 female players (the ideal team size is 7m / 5f). If you require assistance in obtaining a few players please contact the league organiser as we may be able to allocate players from the list of people who register as individuals. The league organiser also has the right to add individual players to any team.

Individuals

Register your name on the website in the individual players without a team section. This does not guarantee you entry into the league.

You must not register with a specific team unless you have the agreement of the team captain. If a captain doesn’t know you, you will be removed from the registration list.

The league organiser may look at allocating you to teams that do not have a full complement of players or elect to create a new team. If we elect to create a new team we will advise you by e-mail and you will have 3 working days to pay the individual player fee of $30.

Registration Close

The registration site will close on Friday 7th October (or earlier if we reach our full complement of teams or individual players).

Be wise and register early.
