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.

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.
