First Game

My first game of Ultimate Frisbee was intense. The games are 70 minutes long and there are two halves. We had 11 guys on our team and they had 13 guys on their team. Seven players are on the field per team at one time. Every two scores the four guys resting would sub in for the four tired guys on our team. Get the idea?

Ultimate is so much more tiring then even soccer and it's much more fun to play. Within the first ten minutes of the game we were losing 3 to 1 and then by the end of the first half we were losing 7 to three. After regrouping and some constructive criticism the second half was our game. With five minutes to go the game was tied 9 to 9. We managed to stop them several times within feet of the in zone, but eventually we were overpowered and they scored.

So we lost, oh well. It was still a darn good game though. Talk about a workout. =)
