HoS at WUCC

Apologies for the break in posting.

Here is some action from Heads of State at the 2010 World Ultimate Club Championships in Prague.

I threw 2 goals and caught 2 this game, and luckily for me they are all captured in this footage.
My proudest moment in this footage is my cutting at 4:20:

• Hard cut away from the disc
• Sharp turn back under for the easy pass
• Quick pass off back to the handler to put them in power position
• Clear back to the stack, still checking in with the disc
• Recognise that Seb will get the disc in power position
• Start cutting deep, check there is no one if front of me
• Cut hard straight down the field (almost)
• See the line of the disc and cut straight at it
• Attack the disc - goal.

The site contains a wealth of resources to help players self referee as easily as possible.
It is hoped that this site will be come the focus for all issues related to the WFDF Rules of Ultimate.

Some sections of the website are still under development, which we hope to have completed shorty.
Unfortunately the site is currently not hosted on wfdf.org, however it is hoped that the site will be moved there in the future.

Natural Fowards

Just about to head of to Adelaide for the National Championships, but I red this in the paper and thought it was worth taking note of:

A natural forward's greatest asset is his ability to read the play. He anticipates where the ball will go. He puts his body to the advantage side of his opponent, and he times his leads into available space. The natural forward will draw his opponent to the ball and then double back into the created space behind. The natural forward will be aware of who and what is around him and use it to advantage.

Dumb forwards lead too early and to the wrong spots. They don't understand what the strengths and weaknesses are of the teammates ahead of them. They don't continually prowl their forward line looking to wrongfoot their opponent and they can't read the play two and three steps ahead as it unfolds.
