    wow. pretty disappointing words, honestC. ultimate's one of the only sports i actually enjoy playing, mainly because -- while decent -- i'm never quite as good with a ball as i am with a frisbee, and i'm not a fan of "sports" where there's a helluva lot of standing around going on. ultimate is challenging, super fun, keeps you on your toes, gets you muddy sweaty tired and happy all at the same time! :) .. that said, does anyone know where around dublin someone like me might go who just wants a casual pick-up game, or to join a game that isn't necessarily wrought with a tight-knit group of pros?
    cheers!

    There are a few pick up games in dublin. The most popular would be every Sunday at 2pm in Herbert Park in Ballsbridge. Its open to all levels and usually you get a nice mix of people out looking for a game.

    There are a couple more games on saturday but i'm not too familiar with them.

    More information on those are here http://irishultimate.com/beginners/game.php?Type=2

    anyone(group) interested in a pickup game today, sunday 24 may, in phoenix park? i missed the 14:00 for herbert park (had times mixed up) but i'm up near phoenix all day today, and it's a gorgeous one for a game! if we can rally some people together for 15:00 or even 16:00, that'd be great. i can be reached on

    Yep Herbert Park at three every sunday is the way to go. This week there's a pre-pickup skills clinic on at 2 beforehand which focuses on handling. Would be a good buzz and you might learn something before playing pick up.

    Don't know anyone around your area im afraid but best of luck. If you do get some people get in touch with the IFDA and they might be able to help with coaches or maybe even discs.

    Ultimate frizbee? .. since when is this a sport? ... genuises!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 58 ✭✭starringme


    would anyone be interested in a UF club (or even some pick up games) around Castleknock? Obviously with the Phoenix Park etc there are ample places to train especially for anyone from the area whereas there are no real teams really convenient to the area at the moment.
    I used to have fairly regular pickup games in Castleknock but most of those who played have moved.

    Alternatively, does anyone from the ck area go to the Herbert Pk training sessions on Sundays?

    Is there a Belvo school team now? Would save so much effort if someone already started doing it in the school. Myself and a few other OB's were thinking of going back and starting a team up for students considering Mary's n Gonzaga and the likes are teams.

    Btw there's a posibility of a OB Ultimate team being set up soon, depending on numbers and if any of us can get off our asses to do it.

    Never played the sport in my life but where there's an Old Belvedere team, there's an Old Belvederian right here willing to play for them. BELVO UBER ALLES!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 95 ✭✭personguy


    anyone up for throwing a disc around tomorrow any time?
    just one, or a group, i've just been so busy with work and have tomorrow off and would love to toss around for a while.

    I occasionally Frisbee with my friend Jade (BLoodRedRose) and we are looking to get into it professionally. Any advice?

    I don't think even the best players in the world are professional tbh mate. Best you could hope for is doing a coaching course whenever they come around again or when the IFDA do up their own certification of it (which may be in the works I think) and possibly get paid to coach a few sessions.

    west side ultimate / ultimate westside cowboys / the westies...not sure of the name yet...BUT...there are a group of us (5 definate) who are starting up a ultimate team for the west of dublin. the lucan / palmerstown / clondalkin / balleyfermot / (not dublin but close) lexlip / celebridge sort of area. we will be more then likely training in lucan or mabey the pheonix park depending where everybody is coming from. but as a new team we are looking for players of any ability at all to play. if your in a club or not come along! :D it will be great fun :D (men and women, any age are welcome)

    i quote this from a one maynooth lads...'well conor phealan is coco, and your the prodigy of conor phelan, sooo...we will get kiki on your jersey, alrite' never seen him play, but doubt i will ever be as good! javin li is the only that you would probably know, the rest are beginners stricly speaking, but play with maynooth, trinity and ucd. we are just interested in getting a local team, you interested?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 461 ✭✭Drodan


    Ah tis yourself. I've dropped up to one of your training sessions a couple times when bored.

    I don't actually live any where near the west of Dublin, and I'd have to give first preference to OCS all the time, but I can helps ye's out and play from time to time when I can. Could do with getting more training sessions in too, we don't get many in blanch ye see.

    If you're going to try and troll at least put some effort into it.

    i thought that was already a thing..!?

    i know there are official college teams, and i thought i remembered hearing about scholarships and player tradings..maybe i just misunderstood.

    but yeah, i would believe. i've never met an irish person (friend or foe) who hasn't laughed at the combination of "frisbee" and "sport" in the same sentence, but i have taken people (men and women) who play rugby out for a few games and they've admitted it is a tough game, and they can see the "sport" in it, even if there isn't a ball.

    in short, people who laugh at frisbee as a sport are usually people who have never tried to play frisbee as a sport.

    similar to table tennis, from a personal standpoint; i thought of it as "an amusing past time" until i tried to play with people who really know their stuff. it really takes a great amount of skill, accuracy, grace, power, concentration. that's not to say it can hold its own against the power and skill involved in a great game of rugby or soccer, but it's generally worth allowing that games of skill can look very easy from the sidelines, and take on a new form once you get involved.

    Fairly certain there isn't, most club's details on here. http://www.irishultimate.com/players/find-a-team/#Club

    Nearest would probably be OCS or Jabba
