Description: A very casual game of ultimate, with ages ranging from 7 to 70+, but most in the 30ish-50ish range. WINTER UPDATE: We tend to move around a little in the winter, with a rotation between Witter, Montclair, San Antonio, Bushrod and Mosswood. We have a WhatsApp for game day location decisions and polls, and idle Ultimate gossip. Weekend Games Saturday and Sunday: Warm up starts 10:00-10:15, game is usually 10:20-10:30-11:30. Wednesday at 6:00pm. "We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing." Here's a notsorecent write-up we had in the local paper: https://ginnyprior.com/2019/08/17/town-crier-ultimate-frisbee-proves-popular-in-parks-of-oakland-hills/ A few items that best give the flavor of our game, 1) Sidelines are more like guidelines, as long as you catch it, you can throw it back in. 2) We do let the younger kids play by kid rules, which means if they touch it but drop it, we count it as a catch where they touched it. Adults need to petition league commissioner for an exception to play by kid rules. 3) We kind of keep score, but some how we always end up in a tie after about an hour when someone gasps "Next 2 out of 3 wins”. 4) Our typical player: "It’s been years since I played regularly, and I wasn’t fast then." Seriously, you can usually match up pretty well with someone in your fitness/skill level. We have slow moving folks who just want to get outside and be active, and players who played competitively in college, however many years ago that was. 5) It's about the journey, not the destination.
