Ultimate league hunts for people who can play like pros

THE TERRACE Ultimate league is looking for men and women interes- ted in playing ultimate Monday and Wednesday evenings.

Uhtimate is a fun outdoor sport that combines the skills of soccer, football and basketball.

Ultimate is a self-regulating no- contact sport where players pass the disc between teammates to reach the end zone for a point.

Ultimate is also one of the fastest growing sports in the world, and local players say there’s a good rea-

son why.

“It’s sheer fun,” said Peter Bon- ser, a league player, “We just want to grow a little more, so that we can have more competition between teams.”

Last year, the league won third at a Williams Lake tournament, bea- ting out more experienced teams from Vancouver, Vernon and Prince George.

Bonser added players now occupy the Caledonia fields and, if you're just starting out, there’s no pressure

to play well.

If you're hesitant, the league also holds a drop in session on Sundays al 1 p.m. for ultimate enthusiasts and newcomers to the sport.

That’s more fun and social way to learn the sport, said Bonser.

The group is also looking for women players so they can start up a fun ladies night .

The club is hoping to garner 40 to 50 players to field four teams this year.

The cost to join the league is $25. Add $5 if you like to purchase a disc as well.
