John Stubbs is one of ultimate’s top young players and is a name you should know. Check out this sweet highlights reel of one of his best games:
Uniforms get here on Tuesday, which means they will be dropped off to your house, along with a disc, by the end of the week!
Roll Falmouth!
It’s a nice day out for a run, at least until later this afternoon. If you can get out before the rain comes down, make sure to jog for 20 minutes, using Playlist 8 if you have access to music. Then home for 100 backhands, 100 forehands, 50 scoobers, and 50 backhands. Then it’s inside for video time!
In this classic college match-up, Jonathan Nethercutt’s UNC Darkside squad faces off against Dylan Freechild and Oregon Ego for the 201 Men’s College Championships. You should know both of those names. Spend at least 30 minutes watching this one!
Roll Falmouth!
This game was played right at the start of the year before we all headed inside and is a fantastic match up between some of the best players in the sport. Give this one a full watch today after your 3pm run.
Today we are running to Playlist 7, then home for 100 backhands, 100 forehands, 50 scoobers, and 50 forehands. Then watch this game! 😀

This video is older, so the resolution is a bit dimmer than more-modern clips, but it’s still worth the watch. During the 2008 Women’s Club Finals, San Francisco Fury was playing Seattle Riot and was losing 10-1, before going on a 14 point scoring run that had them winning the game 15-12.
I have been on both sides of big come-back games, but never anything like this.
THIS is why you NEVER give up if you are losing.
And THIS is why you NEVER let up if you are winning. The game is not over until the last point is scored.
Check out how Trent Dillon (#16 wearing a hat), playing for the University of Pittsburgh, runs this team’s offense. Like a boss. THIS is how you dominate a point as a regent.
More great work from Trent Dillon:
We have another great day for a virtual team practice! We’ll all be heading out today at 3pm on our individual team runs and listening to Playlist #3!

Today we are tuning into the 2019 Mixed National Championship game between San Francisco Mischief and Philadelphia AMP.

Roll Falmouth!
Parents- this is good stuff. Give it a watch.
Falmouth ultimate players- please watch this video for details on the start of our virtual preseason tomorrow!
We will be running tomorrow to Playlist #1. If you don’t have access to Spotify on your phone or device- no worries! You just want to run for twenty minutes starting at 3pm. Remember- no running with other players or neighbors. We all need to maintain social distancing, so runs should be solo or with a member of your family. IMPORTANT- check with your parents as to where it is safe to run around your house. Stay out of the road!
After the run, find a partner to throw with and throw 100 backhands, 100 forehands, 50 scoobers, and 50 hammers. Make sure you are setting proper pivots on each throw. When you are done throwing, practice spinning the disc with your left hand for a minute, then your right for a minute
Friday’s practice video is below. Please make sure you watch at least 30 minutes of game time. Bonus points for watching the whole game. Try this while watching- pick a player during the game and watch how they move.
We’re putting the finishing touches on our 2020 virtual preseason, which we’ll have posted up starting tomorrow!
In the meantime, check out this fantastic game from 2019’s Mixed Club Finals between teams from Minnesota and Seattle.
