Part 2

 

So the library closed, and I'm now at home with very little idea where I was or what I was talking about...

 

I'll cut my losses and sum up... Essentially I think this is a great idea, players will be introduced to Ultimate as it should be played (ignoring the freezing temperature, rain, sleet, snow, rock hard ground etc...), they'll benefit from the experience of playing top 8 teams, and hopefully opponents playing style, competitiveness and training mentality will brush off on SE uni players, and they can take this back to their teams.

 

How do we know what to aspire to when we don't know how good we can be?

 

There are bound to be issues for universities so far as sending people to each training, but with the large planned player base there should always be enough people there for it to be beneficial. 

 

This system doesn't have to alienate less good players, it's at each clubs discretion who they send, whether it's the best 5 players or 2 great players and 3 others of varying standards who they feel will benefit most from the training, and who will best be able to pass the information back to the rest of the club.

 

As an aside, great work to 'J' for setting this group set up, it's awesome to have people voicing opinions and getting involved and talking to each other, let's mantain the enthusiasm this year and make sure we get some SE teams in the top 4 and top 8 at Nats come April...

 

See you all for Winter League and the injury-fest that is Schmindoors... yay!
