It’s a very relaxed game and always a lot of fun. And if one of your new year’s resolutions was to exercise a little more, then Ultimate is the easiest and most fun way to do it.
We will also be working on fielding a team to travel to one or two tournaments this semester. So if you are interested in being a part of that, come out to our pickup games on Friday, or contact Jonathan Webb (webbjr1@millsaps.edu), Aaron Law (lawad@millsaps.edu), or Richard Booker (bookers@millsaps.edu).
