I decided to play Ultimate Frisbee with my old roommate Helen. She convinced me to do learning league through Boston Ultimate Disc Association or BUDA for short. I spent 6 weeks learning the rules of the game and the ins and outs of throwing and catching a disc.
Then the 2 of us joined a summer Hat team. In the summer Hat League everyone's names are placed in a hat and teams are picked at random, although you can request to be with at least 2 other people. I, of couse, picked Helen (bottom right).
I was placed on a great team pictured here at the final tournament where we fought our way up from the bottom bracket to the finals, which were rained out... but we are co-winners of the tournament.
We were named Fool's Gold as it was Olympic themed and our shirts were buttercup colored. We also just loved yelling: Go Fools!
Playing with these guys every Monday night has been one of the highlights of my summer, and I have already signed up for Fall Hat League... not sure if a better team can be randomly picked though!
Great playing with you Fools!
