Houston Ultimate Community

just a reminder, there are no games today. there is a college tourney at our fields where our teammate dylan brooks will be playing with UH. not sure if there are others on our team playing today.

also, i wanted to send some reading websites for ultimate strategy and tactics to help get us on the same page. given our lack of practices for the season, i think this will help with general concepts. let's hit man-to-man first. give these a spin and let me know what you think:

- understand the diff btw face/side guarding, a coach/captain may ask you to play a certain way vs an opponent

- short players section is great, practice these concepts always
- understanding new terms like switch and poach will help you integrate

- you can make a big impression if you learn to communicate with your teammates, find good players and emulate

cheers
