Club Registration

Just a friendly reminder that club registration takes place at any time during Athletics & Recreation Open House on Tuesday, September 15th from 4-8pm in the PEC. Be sure to register with us before coming to the tryout. Our booth is usually at the end of the circuit. which is roughly situated near the north entrance of the PEC. When you enter the PEC from the south entrance by Union Street, go up the stairs, you'll see a big trophy case in the middle of the hallway, our booth is somewhere behind it, but you'll have to go all the way around in order to reach us as there will be people preventing you from going through. If you are confused, there will be event staffs there to help you out.

Pick-up Ultimate 2009

There will be a pre-tryout pick-up happening for those of you that need to get some ultimate in you before tryout begins. This will be a great opportunity for newcomers to show us what they've got and get a head start on the competition. This event is open to anyone who is trying out either for the men's or the women's team.

Nationals '07 Approaches...

BECAUSE MOVIES SAY IT SO MUCH BETTER:

I can only hope, with all of Canada's teams gathered against us, there might be one down there who's up to the task. We will do what we were trained to do, what we were bred to do, what we were born to do... Even though the margin of error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast, and you don't quite catch it... But, if you are going to win any battle, you have to do one thing: You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body is never tired if the mind is not tired. Don't scratch your head unless it itches and don't dance unless you hear some music. You will not be intimidated. You're never beaten until you admit it. Take calculated risks. That's going to make the difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying... Now, I can't make you do it. You've got to look at the guy next to you. You're going to see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team because he knows, when it comes down to it, you're going to do the same for him. That's 7 players on the field functioning as one single unit: team, team, team - no one more important than the other. So, may God have mercy on the other teams... because we wont.
