The Grudge Match

Posted on by

When you read the general theme of my last post (‘Leave the Lie Detector At Home’), I’m guessing quite a few people had the same thought: “yeah, most of the time no-one’s lying or cheating, but what about that bunch of ****s from <insert rival team name here>?” Maybe your team doesn’t have a grudge match. Maybe you don’t have that one particular team who it’s HORRIBLE to play. That team that you anticipate the possible match up with before the tournament, even if they’re not in your pool. That team that you’d consider poking your eyes out rather than play ...

Sport Relief Fun Tournament

Posted on by

If you haven’t already seen on facebook/posters around uni/a post on the forum.. this friday is the SPORTS RELIEF TOURNAMENT! I realize that many people may have class on friday afternoon but it’s a very relaxed fun tournament so even if you only have an hour to spare, come down to Stanmer/Russel’s and enjoy playing some friendly frisbee for a bit. If you have the whole afternoon off, or even if you don’t, try and drag as many people with you as you can! As well as raising money for Sports Relief this is a great way to spread the ...

Hey Guys and Girls,   Now is the time to start thinking about whether you would like to be a captain for the next academic year. Please send us a paragraph or two explaining why you think you would be good for the position and what you think you could bring to role. Please don’t do this on a whim because it takes a considerable amount of time and effort but if you think you can spare the time this is a very rewarding role and will be very good for your CV.   The positions you can apply for are: Open Captain Women’s Captain Mixed Captain Women’s Vice Captain   If you ...

Kit – IMPORTANT: READ READ READ!! You all should have your nice kit by now. Looking sexy, of course. Quick thing though – the import tax was more than previously thought so we’re going to have to charge you an extra £3.00 per item but a maximum of £6 regardless of how much you’ve ordered. Please pay this ASAP as we owe Disc Doctors quite a bit of money right now (in excess of £300, and that don’t look good from us). Very sorry that we’re having to do this, very unavoidable. Please pay: Mr Callum Smith Account No: 27175839 Sort code: 603009 email Spoon and ...

WILTW Week 4 – Using your axes

Posted on by

What I learned this week – Week 4: Using your axes Apologies for the lateness of this post, this term is racing away very quickly. At Monday night practice we have been trying out a series of fast-paced warm-up drills, one of which includes an intense version of the three-man/break-force where the marker marks for 10 successive throws (rather than the normal version where you throw then mark the person you threw to). This has the advantage that it makes you more tired and also enables you to focus on each element of the drill for an extended period of time. Faced with ...

First up – show up to practice today. Pretty sure there should be some non-snow covered ground somewhere by now. Secondly – our first proper throwing clinic is happening this Friday at 3pm. This session we’ll focus on the components of ‘how to break a mark’ – with some individual exercises you can do at home, some paired throwing exercises and a couple of drills (depending on numbers obviously). Main benefit – you’ll learn some new ways to improve your pivot, your fakes and your throws. All handy things on the frisbee pitch. We’ll also have people around to do lots of one-on-one ...

Spirited Thoughts Part 2: Leave The Lie Detector At Home

This is probably the biggest thing I have changed in my own approach to calls, and it’s shockingly simple.   Nobody is lying to you. And nobody is cheating.   The fundamental assumption that people do not make calls they know to be untrue is integral to spirit of the game. The rules are written not to punish those who break the rules, but to make sure that whatever should have happened, does happen. Equally, they make the implicit assumption that people will not purposefully call things which are false. Let me just say it again. People do not call rubbish. Sometimes this assumption is hard ...

Take a look at the link below for info on a free first aid certification course. It’s available to “Brighton & Hove clubs, schools, coaches & sports organisations”, so seems like any Mohawk player should be able to take advantage of this. http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=f42536837ab49658fc74526ab&id=c44b27e630&e=e165f4db83
