Spring League Kickoff!

Spring League started this past Saturday at Como Park, kicking off the outdoors Ultimate season in Columbus. The weather held up and teams came early for a new tradition - Saturday brunch. Every week a different team will be responsible for supplying bagels, fruit and a special Ultimate brunch item (this week it was Bloody Marys). The idea is to get more people out on a regular basis, since the spring weather sometimes leads to anemic turnout.

For what was the first game of the year for many, play was actually pretty decent. I saw some layout Ds and some great backhand hucks, although the wind and winter rust played havoc on quite a few forehands. Both match-ups yielded tight, split games so the parity seems to be excellent this year.

As the weather continues to trend upwards, we'll also try to get Sunday pick-up back online, so everyone who wants can get into running shape for the upcoming Summer League season.
