Falmouth MS Ultimate alum Ben Field playing professional ultimate, making highlights!

Check out Ben Field of the Salt Lake Shred land in the #1 spot in the UFA Week 2 Top Ten Plays! Way back in 2013, when the Falmouth middle school ultimate team was first formed, Ben Field was an 8th grader and one of the leaders on the team. He went on to a solid playing career in high school and then in college and is now playing professional ultimate with the Shred.

You can check out Ben’s Callahan nomination video too for more awesome ultimate.

The best Callahan video I’ve seen

The Callahan Award is given each year to the best man and woman player in college ultimate, proceeded by the release of a flood of highlight videos of contenders from all over the country. If you search for “Callahan Ultimate” in YouTube, you will pull up hundreds of results, all showing top-level college ultimate players in their best moments, but not every one of those videos is produced and edited at a high level. Not this one, showing off the ultimate prowess of Jacques Nissen from Brown University- I am pretty sure this is the best Callahan video that I’ve ever seen in terms of production- the pacing, edit choices, quality of footage, and audio mixing are all *chef’s kiss*. Top notch stuff.

Registration is open for both Falmouth Rogue and Intramural!

There are a number of local players representing Maine in the U-24 program!

It’s time to get excited about ultimate!

I am very excited to open up registration for the 2024 season for both Falmouth Rogue (grades 4-8) AND our intramural program (grades 2-8)! 

In the past, we’ve staged the two sign-ups so that Rogue travel team players registered a month or so ahead of intramural but this year we are changing that up and starting registration for both teams at the same time- now! 😀

That makes it super important that parents understand the difference between the two programs As our FAQ has it,

“The biggest difference between the two teams are the level of commitment expected. Falmouth Rogue players start practicing at the end of March and have two practices a week during the pre-season and then play or practice four days a week once we get outside on the grass after April vacation. In contrast, the Intramural players start after April vacation and plays twice per week. Intramural practices and games are also much more mellow than Travel Team practices, where players will be expected to show up ready to learn and to get in shape. We take the game a little more seriously on Travel days. One fun aspect of our program is that Travel team players play with Intramural team players on Intramural days.”

In addition, Rogue travel team players get uniforms and hats. Both programs participate in the end-of-the-year ice cream party and tournament and Rogue travel team players actually spend two days of their practice week playing in the intramural program, so there is a lot of good overlap between the two programs. 

If you have any questions or need clarification about anything, please email me at sheagunther@gmail.com. 

One note for travel team players- we are going to be using our uniform design from last year for one more season, so any Rogue players from last year should figure out if they need to order a new kit or of last years set still fits.
