Congrats BoC!

Congrats boys and girls on your first win. Thanks to the 4 boys and 4 girls who showed up to play last night. Much appreciated and give yourselves a pat on the back for a job well done.

Quick Recap for those who couldn't make it:
We started the game 30 minutes late as the traffic on the 401 was a mess last night. The Krabs started counting points @ 7pm (TUC rules: Award 1 point every 5 minutes to the team who is ready to play at start time.) and they were up by 3 by the time we put 5 players on the field. Once we got a full line on (the men played iron man) we worked out our kinks, worked out our trouble with forcing confusions, and played hard man to secure half and our 16-10 win.

Yay to our one person sideline help, to Derek and his layout catch into the ravine, Danielle for joining our team, Allan for correcting his forces, Stephanie for her hot puts, and Rhea for her beautiful cuts that Mike looked off, not to mention cut off :P
And oh right....Congrats Eric on baiting for a layout Callahan...

Great work boys and girls! You guys deserved the W.
Congrats!

Game One Recap

For those who made it out to game #1 give yourself a pat on the back. We had a total of 4 boys and 5 girls and lost 14-12 only because a couple of boys cramped out of the game; props to the ladies for steppin’ it up and playing defense against the men. I think it’s time to get in shape!! Do I hear more squats??!

Big Thank Yous to Deanna for subbing on such short notice, great D’s and that WICKED pass into the end zone to Cecile!! And to Rhea for bringing Cecile!! :D

We have a few changes in our roster as Jamie and Jillyan will no longer be playing with us. Please welcome Cecile, who has been voluntold/peer pressured onto the team and Sandy has also stepped up to the pitch. We’ll see how the next game goes to see if there will be other roster adjustments.

THINGS TO IMPROVE ON OUR NEXT OUTING:

Fitness: We shouldn’t be cramping out if we’re properly warmed up even if our fitness level isn’t all that great. Let’s make sure we are properly hydrated and have eaten before a game. If that is not possible then lets try to bring some bananas and apples to the field. Granola bars help too.

Setting cuts: We are in a relatively low pool, and by setting our cuts, we are not only able to out run our defenders for a pass, but we’ll be efficient in doing so, therefore conserving energy. Let’s make it easy for ourselves.

Recognize forces, keeping the force: The team this week was often on the wrong side of their defender. Let’s learn to recognize the mistakes. That being said, a few of us were on the wrong side of our mark as well. Make sure you are between your defender and the disc at ALL times.

General Flow: This will come as we play together as a team. Learning each other’s speed, adjusting speed of throws, watching cuts, mirror cuts, less clogging etc.

I will post the next game details once it’s up. Please post on the comment box whether or not you will be at the game. I’d like to know numbers so I can prep for savage games.

Is there any interest in meeting up on non game nights just to do a few drills and some tossing? For those who are new to the game, it would definitely help on your throws, and general understanding of the game.

Let me know what days are good for you.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Pick up, Scrimmage, First Game & the Whole Shebang!

Hey All,
A few important things on this update.
(From my previous email)
A good friend's league team wants to hook up tomorrow and has asked if we wanted to play some pick up. Anyone interested? Sometime after work/school either at Riverdale East or Sunnybrook park. It'd also be good for us to meet each other and get some of the team together as some of you will be out of town.
Let me know by tonight (Monday) or early tomorrow (Tuesday morning).

Also, our first game is on Monday May 21 aka Victoria Day. If you cannot make this game please let me know now...Otherwise, I will expect to see everyone on the field monday night. Please update your status to "regular player" if you haven't already done so on TUC.

Keep checking this site, more info to come...

Cheers!

WELCOME BoC SUMMER 2007

SUMMER LEAGUE BEGINS MAY 21 (Victoria Day)

Welcome Breakfast of Champions!!
Spring is upon us and the antsy pantsy Ultimate itch is upon us. I am excited about league this summer and am pleased with the abundance of interest to play with BoC. For those who are new to the team, this is our blog for virtually everything, and anything. Postings for game schedules, car rides, pre/post game chats, ribs & wings night, etc. If you’re curious, feel free to surf last years postings, photos, and random chit chat.

Who Are We?
Breakfast of Champions was built last year by a few friends who felt that competitive touring on the weekends and practices twice a week wasn’t enough Ultimate. Over a couple of Starbucks Java chip Mocha Frappucinos® they decided to build a team with the purpose of exposing novice players to an intermediate level of Ultimate; in game and in culture.

What Should You Expect?
Breakfast of Champions is primarily built for LEARNING, IMPROVING ON SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE OF PLAY BOTH INDIVIDUALLY AND AS A TEAM. It's also a team that keen on having a good time. What about winning games you ask? We strongly believe that when we build on basics and have a solid grasp on the fundamentals of the game, winning will come. It’s just the nature of the game.

We are going to start the season starting from the beginning. We will be working on our throws, our cuts, our stacks, clearing, and our communication. Once we have everyone on the same page, it is guaranteed that we will add some spice to everyone’s toolbox. You can EXPECT to be a better player by the end of the summer.

What Do We Expect?
Because all of you have already played some level of ultimate in the past, I will expect improvement and a relatively steep learning curve as the team gels, and as the season progress. Last season, we started in tier 8; we came in 2nd in tier 8, 1st in tier 7 and ended the season in tier 6. Depending on the number of teams, I’d like to start in tier 7 and see where we go from there. I expect everyone to be playing with lots of spirit, to be playing hard and doing your absolute best at all times.

Your 2007 Leadership Squad

Bonnie Lee no. 9 Eric Lau no. 2
Individually, we've been playing Ultimate for at least five seasons and have played for teams of various calibers. In recent years, we’ve toured competitively to various tournaments in Ontario, Quebec and the States. We attended Nationals in Halifax last summer with our respective teams and am extremely excited and eager to compete again, as this year's Canadian Ultimate Championships will be held in Toronto.

Ultimate has taken a hold a big part in our lives, and it has always been good times when we’re out on the pitch. Hopefully, we can share not only our passion and knowledge of the game with you, but also a new and exciting experience this summer season.
