Have you ever considered playing Ultimate Frisbee? If so, now’s your chance! The Atlanta Flying Disc Club is sponsoring the 2nd annual Women’s Winter League. WWL will run on Saturdays beginning January 3rd, 2004 through February 21, 2004. An End of Season Tournament will be held on Saturday, February 28, 2004.

PLAYERS OF ALL SKILLS WELCOME

Don’t worry if you’ve never played before. Now is the best time to start. Individual players of all levels are encouraged to sign up. The AFDC WWL encourages a competitive, but fun learning environment.

WHY SHOULD I PLAY?

Because it’s fun. Because it’s great exercise. Because it’s a great way to learn the sport. Because it’s a great community of friends, old and new. The bigger question is why wouldn’t you play?

WWL HISTORY

The AFDC WWL began last year with a bang. 108 players, old and new, from the Atlanta area were formed into 6 teams. We held an 8-week regular season and an End of Season Tournament.

WHAT IS ULTIMATE?

If you’ve never heard of ultimate, it’s a fast-paced, athletic team sport. It’s played 7 versus 7 on a field resembling a football field. A team scores by passing the Frisbee down the field and catching it in the end zone. Once a pass is caught, that player cannot run and must throw the Frisbee to a teammate. Any incomplete pass (drop, throwaway, or interception) is a turnover and play continues with the opposing team now on offense trying to score.
