The Austin Scoober
September 2011
|
Howdy! Thanks for reading the Ultimate Players League of Austin (UPLA) monthly newsletter! Since April of 2009 the Scoober has been a source of Ultimate news and related items of interest for the Ultimate community in and around Austin. This is just one of the many things that have been better about Austin Ultimate since the UPLA was formed and Tina Woodings decided to lead it. Tina has stepped down now as UPLA's President, but remains on the board as Vice President.

Every so often I'll spot a group of guys playing touch or flag football in the park. Most often, a few of them will be ripped with muscles as if they live at the gym on a part-time basis. Football is a pretty manly sport, to be sure. Make way, folks, Mr. Testosterone coming through! And I wonder, what do they think of Ultimate? Do they think of it as a wimpy sport? Maybe they wouldn't even consider it a sport at all.

Summer League Survey Says...?
Summer League 2011 is over and done with, but there remains good stuff to talk about. Mainly, what was learned from it. After Summer League was over, players were surveyed to find out what they liked and didn't like about the league. From this, we plan on making some key changes next year.
In no particular order, here's are some of the ways we'll make next year's Summer League even better.
