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.Ā  The hope was to gain enough interest to have the soccer game fully populated while also easing the size of the Ultimate game.Ā  Unfortunately, we didn’t get enough interest for the soccer game and 2 games of Ultimate took shape.Ā  Kudos to Abacus for attempting to create some “game” diversity to perhaps draw a different group of enthusiasts and keep things interesting.

Warm Up:Ā 

  • 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.Ā  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.Ā  We are part of a community here and we should act as a shoulder to hold up the guy next to us.Ā  If you need help, ask for it.Ā  If you see someone in need, dont wait to be asked.Ā  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.Ā  Keep them safe and provide them with the strength required to get back into the swing of school.

Q School – Session 1 2024

/in /by

12 PAX for a mixer of Kennyā€™s Grave and Q school. Hereā€™s a review.

Why Q school? This is to help with F3 formality (uniform) across all regions so if you attend an AO in New York or Texas itā€™ll still be close to the same structure.

3 main topics to cover ā€“ How to Q? Why to Q? (new exciting things) Are you ready to Q?

Sample structure for warm up with some discussion:
Disclaimer, warmup, workout (the thang), Mary, CoT ā€“ 45 mins total time, get a watch. Assign a sweeper if you have a large group of FNGā€™s.
Bring a Flag if you plan to Q. If you donā€™t have one, ask site Q to bring one.

Conduct WU and have guys take turns with exercises. SSH, Good Mornings, etc.

Be ready for CoT with announcements and prayer requests/praises

Review during workout:
Cadence Count
Form and rep count
Know your PAX limitations if possible
Site Q duties
Q sheet, pre-blast, backblast
Exicon, backblast from other regions, winky, Co-Q

Thang 1: Dora with bear crawl timer. 50 diamond merkins, 100 monkey humpers, 150 groiners,
Thang 2: Basketball court 7ā€™s – burpees and absolutions

Giving 110% for Kenny

/in /by

FNGs: none

Warm Up: SSH, hillbillies, imperial walkers, Daisy pickers, sir fazio arm circles, seal claps, overhead claps, Willie Mays Hayes

The Workout: Thing 1: Four Corners
different exercises at each corner
– merkins
– squats
– mountain climbers
– WWIIs
Idea was to do 10 count first round, then 20, then 30 and then step it back down. Finkle suggested we do two rounds of 20 so we could get an even 100, and YHC was happy to oblige. Then Banana Seat said that we give 110%, so YHC had the idea to take on one more round of 10 counts for a solid 110!

Thing 2: People’s Chair, 10 count down the line / dips 20 count. Repeated for a total of 2 rounds.

Mary: popcorn Mary

Prayer: Finkle’s brother-in-law, Rico looking for housing
