Hear me out: a developmental club division that acts as a feeder system for elite club. A way for people who didn't get to play competitive college ultimate to get a similar experience. A way to make competitive frisbee more accessible

The most humiliating thing in frisbee is trying to chase a disc down that's rolling away from you. Change my mind.

Apparently, the 2:15 round at Cooler this weekend is an all-out 20-team fight to the death on field 9. I've been low-key waiting for my hunger games moment and I guess now's the time

THE UPDATE EVERYONE HAS BEEN WAITING FOR: after toeing the line of it being a date or not tonight, he said he liked my energy and OFFICIALLY asked me if I wanted to go on a real date with him
Ummm one of my Summer league teammates just pulled me aside at the bar and asked me to go to an AUDL championship weekend game with him... Do y'all think it's a date type thing???

Messy frisbee with enough wind to act as an equalizer to make the game anyone's win is more interesting to watch than clean frisbee with no turns

Update; it works and we used it to beat the only undefeated team in the league!
And not to brag, but I played my best game I've played in MONTHS tonight, got open a lot, led the team in goals, caught *almost* everything, and even got a D and wow I feel so good after that

Update: I am now officially captaining the team I created (and aptly named Lemonade) and will try my best to invest in all of the players on my team
Since I couldn't find a team who would invest in me as a player so I guess I just gotta invest in myself, create my own team, and become a travel player for a team that actually values me. this "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade" shit is too easy 🤷♀️ 😤

Just spotted a replica jersey of mine (from last season) at league today on a person who I have never seen before. The more I think about it, the more confused I get. I didn't think I was that frisbee famous, is this what that feels like??

My college-aged summer league teammate said that anyone over the age of 23 is old. So to all my masters (and GM) friends out there, hate to break it to you but according to him your days are numbered and you might want to invest in a walker

Setting up an offense on a turn is for suckers. Instead it's way more fun to just grip it and rip it right to a cutter who's streaking deep to get a quick score before the defense sets up

So... My position with Strike was only supposed to be for last year's season. But my role evolved and they loved my work so much that they invited me back for next season! This job gave me so much joy and I am so excited to do the whole thing over again!
Just accepted an intern position to do social media with a certain PUL team (more details to come?)!! Can a girl get a W in the chat?

Fmp Teammate: who likes to run deep?
Me: I do🙋♀️
Them: ok I'll throw it to you
Me: ok bet
*I run deep right away and get super open, they pass to an mmp teammate who overshoots me bc he plays open* 🙃🙃 so close to greatness...

Playing wise:
made the roster of a club team for the first time
Played my first post season at Sectionals
Added a bunch of new skills to my repertoire and pleasantly surprised myself every time I used them
Became more confident in my playing abilities
December usually involves a lot of reflection on the year. What's something - big or small - in your ultimate 2023 that you're proud of?
