It appears i have taken a one year hiatus from blogging. This was not planned. I was just lazy on this front. One of my goals for the year is to post weekly between my different blogs and any guest posts on other blogs.
In the sports world today is the last day to register for the local Winter Indoor Ultimate League. I will once again be drafting a team this year. I don't remember my teams record last year. Only that my drafted team came in 3rd or 4 teams. The team i played on came in 2nd place. This year i want to draft a team that does better than last year. Last year my draft focus was on players that work well and have experience together. This year i want to focus on players i know are quick in short yardage situations and players that are good cutters.

Indoor Ultimate Winter League
Getting married, moving to a new city, and winter put a damper on playing Ultimate. Two months ago i found an indoor ultimate league. I had never played indoor ultimate before so i did not know what to expect. I ended up on the Red team. The 4 teams were Red, Blue, Black, and Green. Our 1st game was to be against the Blue team. After 6 weeks with one bye week we ended the season with a record of 3-1-1. We beat Green twice, Blue once, Tied Black and lost to Blue. We played well together and had a lot of fun.
There are some differences to those looking to play indoor ultimate. Since you are indoor there is no wind. You sub on the fly (hockey style). The field is smaller so the end zones are also smaller. Due to the size of the court we had we played with 4 people on the court at a time. You do more cutting, or you should do more cutting. Since there are fewer players on the court you have to hustle more. Where ultimate i often describe as similar to football in layout and soccer in play; indoor ultimate is defiantly closer in play to basketball or disc hoops. There are still no picks. From how Red played and what i saw of the other teams play there were way to many full court hucks to score in one throw. Some were successful, some were not. Having no previous indoor experience i don't know if that is common or not. All in all indoor ultimate was really fun. I think i prefer ultimate to indoor but indoor is a good variation.
