It Takes A Village—To Play Ultimate

Twenty-five plus (25+) for Ultimate on this beautiful muggy Monday morning. Gather 0510, lights on and quick warm-up 0515, game on 0520. Initially I thought we didn’t need to split into two fields, but players just kept coming–including a multitude of 2.0s. Fortunately, Sombrero already had a plan two fields. He also divided up the teams and handed out pinnies while I warmed up the crowd. All that pre-work was a huge help! This reminded me that it takes a village to support our bi-monthly ultimate games.

Shout out to U.T.I. for organizing town volunteer opportunities. We log volunteer hours in exchange for field privileges and lights. And shout out to Lube and Blart for volunteering at the TOHS Annual July 5th fireworks event. And to Gump who is always available to help with Ultimate and other events.

Game was close on my field, but my team always seemed to be 1-2 points down. Possibly because Send It kept breaking up my good throws before they hit their target. Eventually, Wham-O identified handlers for our team and that worked out pretty well. Not sure what happened on the other field, but there were at least 6-8 2.0s in the mix. Sombrero reported super catches, including layouts.

Wrapped up at 0615 for COT. Prayer requests for families who lost property recently, some due to fireworks fires. Prayers for a family who recently lost the father due to cancer.
