Scallywags

[outrunner]

Just letting everyone know what’s up with the Scallywags (USF ultimate team). We are heading to the Florida Winter Classic this weekend in Gainesville for one of the biggest tournaments in the southeast this year. This will give us a good chance to see how we stack up against some of the best teams in the eastern United States. There are 46 teams planning to compete this weekend, including national powers Florida, Georgia, and Texas, and in-state rivals FSU, UCF, and Miami*. We are looking to build off of our first ever tournament victory, and gain national attention and respect**.

Just curious, what is the Skallywags connection to the USF Athletics Department?

[outrunner]

None. We are not a sanctioned sport by the NCAA, therefore we do not have an athletic department connection. We are a club sport receiving money from SG, much like the IceBulls, USF Lacrosse, and USF Rugby. We fall under the jurisdiction of the Ultimate Players Association (UPA).

I see...now one more question what is "Ultimate"?  Publix Deli makes a sandwich called "the Ultimate" but I doubt you are a sandwich eating team ;D

Thanks

Ultimate is ultimate frisbee

We're technically not allowed to say the "frisbee" part because it is a copyright infringment.

Man, we sure do have a lot of competitive club teams.  Good luck!

Is the proper way to throw a "flying disc" overhand or underhand?

I've seen "experts" fight over both ways...

There's no wrong way to throw a disc.

This is a forehand throw (aka flick):

This is a backhand throw (aka huck):

There's also push passes, thumbers, hammers, and chickenwings. But flick and backhand are the basic two.
