Leading up to YHCs Q of Ultimate, a request came in from Abacus to allow for a soccer game to be played in the extra field.  The hope was to gain enough interest to have the soccer game fully populated while also easing the size of the Ultimate game.  Unfortunately, we didn’t get enough interest for the soccer game and 2 games of Ultimate took shape.  Kudos to Abacus for attempting to create some “game” diversity to perhaps draw a different group of enthusiasts and keep things interesting.

Warm Up: 

  • good mornings, willie mays haze, franks

The Workout:

  • 2 Games of Ultimate, 4 teams.
  • Variables for Gameplay
    • Game Start involved each team lining up at their endzone line with a sprint to the middle where the disc was set.  The first team to get the disc got to start their move to the opposing endzone.
    • On Score, there was no “kick-off”, instead the disc was immediately turned over to the opposing team to start their advance to the other side.
    • No Workouts on drops or scores were included
Mary: None

FNGs: Gatorade and Hotwheels

Announcements:

  • Sombrero getting close on a service day from the Town of Holly Springs
  • Look out for an opportunity to volunteer for HollyFest.
    • Setup, F3 Tent Time, Tear Down, Town Support

Prayer:

  • No OYO – In F3 Speak that means Not On Your Own.  We are part of a community here and we should act as a shoulder to hold up the guy next to us.  If you need help, ask for it.  If you see someone in need, dont wait to be asked.  The cause for sudden loss of Hayden Panettiere (36) has yet to be determined but the news reports on her history with depression, alcholism, and domestic violence.
  • 2.0s return to school and some off to college.  Keep them safe and provide them with the strength required to get back into the swing of school.
