Spirit of the Game- Falmouth Rogue represents!

Falmouth Rogue represents!

Check it out! Falmouth Rogue alum Caitlyn Hanley (FHS class of 2019) pops up in this great video produced by USA Ultimate about the importance of the Spirit of the Game! Caitlyn was a founding player for Falmouth Rogue and a leader in Maine’s YCC program, which sends the state’s best ultimate players to Nationals every year to compete against other state all-star players, and it was under that banner that she was under for this video appearance.

We’re all mega proud to see that! Awesome work and great spirit Caitlyn!

You can see Caitlyn around the 0:23 mark.

Ben Field for Callahan 2022!

In 2013, I took over as coach of the Falmouth middle school ultimate program, which had started just the year before under the coaching of my friend Jason Quint. One of the 8th graders on Jason’s 2012 founding team was a kid named Ben Field, who went on to a stellar career on the Falmouth high school team, winning numerous state championships. Once Ben hit college, he started racking up ultimate-related awards and accolades and playing for top tier club teams club teams when he wasn’t leading his college squad. This past season was Ben’s last playing at the college level and his school, Northeastern, just released this nomination and hype video for Ben to be given the Callahan award, the highest award given to college players each year- one to the top men’s player and one to the top women’s player.

Give this a watch!

Game footage homework for Rogue players

Players on Falmouth Rogue have homework this week- watch this high-level ultimate game.

One important note here- you should notice the green-shirted officials on the field. While it’s true that we typically do not use referees in ultimate, higher level games do usually feature ‘observers’, who are there to act as impartial parties for certain calls who can be appealed to if players are not able to work issues out themselves on the field. You can read more about observers here.

End of the week! UNC vs. Oregon

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!

Never give up; never let up

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.
