Ultimate Frisbee FCFers

This past weekend, Gina P. (ultimate player and Foundation CrossFitter) qualified to go to the Club Ultimate National Championships next month in Sarasota, FL. Her team Underground played against Vancouver's Zephyr for fourth place and the final bid from the Northwest region to the national championship tournament.

FCFer Ben B's season ended at Northwest Regionals, unfortunately. He played in the game-to-go to Nationals, but the final bid was taken by Furious George, a team from Vancouver.

"I had a great season though and earned a starting spot on my team, Voodoo." - Ben B.

Amazing work by the both of you bad ass motherfunkers.

Seattle Voodoo

a new Voodude: Ben B making the catch!

"Just an update on Ultimate Frisbee: Last weekend, I attended a tryout tournament in Vancouver, CA with Voodoo, a Seattle team. I played incredibly well, earning a roster spot! In fact I played so well, the coach pulled me aside after the tournament to let me know I definitely earned a spot with my play.

Thank you for helping me build the fitness and mental toughness to make it through tryouts! Also, around June 28th, Voodoo will be scrimmaging the Australian national team in Seattle before they go on to the World Championship in Japan this summer. I'll let you all know when it is, if you are interested in watching."
