The STAR Clinic was a success! Thanks for everyone who volunteered their time. Here's a recap, courtesy of USAU:
Over 40 women attended the Bay Area clinic, coming from as far away as Reno. Many of the participants were first year players, and the organizers arranged to give away free apparel courtesy of Five Ultimate and Breakmark, and also provided a free post-clinic dinner courtesy of Ruggie’s Restaurant. Organizer Manisha Daryani stated, "I think I can speak on behalf of all the teams that we're all happy to have participated and look forward to similar opportunities in the future."
Co-organizer Lily Lin chimed in,
It was amazing. It was a great way to give personal attention that rookies may not get from their programs. I think it was amazing that there were rookies from Reno coming to the clinic. My favorite part was that people from different colleges get to meet each other because it's a great way to network and expand their college bubble.
Kristine Morales of Cal Poly SLO Motion, a participant in the clinic, expressed her sentiments about the clinic saying,
I signed up for the clinic with the intent to learn how to teach ultimate to our own incoming rookies (Cal Poly SLO Motion). The general breakdown of techniques and points to keep in mind were great… All the small things - throwing for placement rather than for curve, checking grip strength, a progression of movements for laying out, and for learning how to sky better - made a big impression on us. Knowing those details would've made it easier for us when we were learning the game. My only complaint is that I didn't get to go to all of the stations.

The team roster will be finalized after the Cal States tournament on June 4-5. If you know you can't make the open tryout, email our captains Kix and Batch at [email protected] to make other arrangements.

Zeit'Vine! Members of zG 2010 traveled up to wine country today to run a clinic for Sonoma State's college women's team, D'vine, in preparation for their upcoming college series. We worked on fundamentals including open side defense and effective marking, and gave the girls several advanced options for getting open as the dump. After some drills which gave both teams lots of touches with the disc, we finished off with a zG versus D'vine scrimmage and a huck drill to work on getting up early. Fun day and sounds like it was beneficial as well. Good luck D'vine!
