NUTC Session B - Media Update #4

Good afternoon everyone,

The finals were a very close matchup between the Red Wolf Squadron and the Coal Train but in a universe point victory the Wolf was barely able to squeak past the Train 10-9. Everyone all week played really hard and learned a lot. I was very impressed with the amount of effort the campers showed both on and off the field. I have just finished uploading the photos taken both yesterday and today (semis, finals and award ceremony) which will take quite a while to go through so here they are.

NUTC Session B - Media Update # 3

The Session B Tournament Schedule

Good morning everyone,

Yesterday morning each team went over the style of zone that they wanted to play for the upcoming tournament. After lunch the distance contest was held in three divisions (boys 15 and under, boys 16 and over and girls) as part of the Disc Olympics. The second event of Disc Olympics, MTA (maximum time aloft) also occurred as mixed pairs took the field in hopes of gaining the longest time. In addition, the Session B tournament commenced and one round was played yesterday. Once the cleats were hung up for the day and the players were well fed, trade night took place where players traded gear from their home teams and around the world that they had acquired. Breakmark even stopped by with some new threads for sale as well. Time for me to catch all the action of the next four rounds of the tournament so more media soon (Thursday afternoon), so check back in for more fun.

NUTC Session B - Media Update # 2

Good morning,

It is another nice more in the valley, the weather is cool and there are plenty of cloud coverage to protect us all from getting sunburns. Last night was the weekly camper vs. counselor game where the counselors took a very quick lead and kept on leading. The campers put up a great fight but in the end the counselors added another win to their records with a 21-1 victory. The campers did however beat the counselors to the make-your-own sundae line and consumed some fantastic ice cream from Bart's. This afternoon we will have Trade Night, the Disc Olympics and the first round of the NUTC tournament but more about all those in tomorrow's post. Until then, here is all the media from yesterday along with today's newsletter.

NUTC Session B - Welcome!

Good Morning Everyone,

This morning and most mornings from now on, I will bringing you some footage of the previous day along with a very brief synopsis. Today I have for you some great photos taken yesterday and newsletters from yesterday along with today. Last night, the players found out what team they will be on for the rest of the week and afterwards competed in games to choose their team colors. The scrimmages looked great yesterday and everyone is well rested for today's action and hopefully for the camper vs. counselor game this evening. Without further ado here is the first batch of media from Session B.

NUTC Gold: Media Update # 4

Will's Team Celebrating Their Scavenger Hunt Win

Good Afternoon All,

Another week has flown by of great ultimate frisbee action and another amazing group of campers. The second NUTC Gold ever has come to a close and campers are now making their way back home. Last night instead of having a talent show we had the campers break out into their four teams and go on a fun scavenger hunt through the Amherst College campus and parts of downtown Amherst. Everyone had a blast and the winning team was served their pizza first on a special table and had a congratulatory cake given to them as well. All in all it was a great week and I look forward to another incredible Gold session next year. Session B of NUTC starts Saturday and we can't wait to see the new batch of 68 campers eager to learn as much as they can about frisbee. But until then... here is the remaining photos from Gold...

NUTC Gold: Media Update # 3

Good evening all,

Today was a day of variety. This morning we held a distance contest followed by seminars on various topics led by the counselors (including guest counselor BVH) and Tiina. This afternoon saw a lot of scrimmage action as the campers took on a group of high school outsiders. The outsiders won the first game to 7 but the gold campers were able to go on a nice run in the second game to 7 and win 7-5. This evenings event was the traditional tuesday trade night where lots of bartering and purchasing took place. Even some of the counselors were able to pick up some sweet gear from around the world.

Check out the photos from today, right here.

Enjoy,
Brian

NUTC Gold: Media Update #2

Good Evening Everyone!

Tonight we had the NUTC Gold Camper vs. Counselor Game where the counselors prevailed over the campers 26-3. Not too shabby for the campers, they put up a good fight and the game was closer than the score. They are definitely well on their way to go from good to great players! After the game we all went back to the dorms for make-your-own-sundae night which was catered by Barts Ice Cream (which was absolutely fantastic!).

Here are the photos from today! More coverage coming tomorrow.
