So, the very first post on this blog, and possibly the last one, we'll see when my enthusiasm runs out!
Leamington Spa has one of the most established Ultimate Frisbee teams in the whole of the UK. Formed in September of 2006, the club has grown from it's modest beginnings in Victoria Park to one of the largest clubs around, sporting more than 100 members.
The whatisultimate website describes the sport as...
"Ultimate is an exciting, non-contact team sport, played by thousands the world over. It mixes the best features of sports such as Soccer, Basketball, American Football and Netball into an elegantly simple yet fascinating and demanding game. To compete at the top level, Ultimate players require an unmatched degree of speed,stamina and agility.
Yet the simplicity of the rules means it's easyand fun for newcomers to pick up."
The Leamington Lemmings have close ties with Evolution, a school team from Aylesford School in Warwick. Regular joint coaching sessions have resulted in a good partnership between the two clubs. This has resulted in several of the players being selected to represent Great Britain at international tournaments.
Anyone interested in trying out Ultimate Frisbee should take a look at the Lemmings website, they always welcome new players!
