First Namibian Ultimate Frisbee Players

Today was finally the day!

The first Namibian Ultimate Frisbee practice.

But we started some weeks ago with hanging up posters everywhere on the campus. Then we played Frisbee for about 3 hours on the Campus and gave a Flyer to everyone and collecting names of interested students to get the Dean of Students to get us a field to play on.

And today we had about 10 Namibian students that want to join us for practice. What do you think, how much showed up? Four.I think it's a big success for a country that got lectures where even the lecturers are late (don't ask me about the students xD ) and the most Teams started like that.

We planned to meed up with everyone at 4 pm, so when did the first three students arrive? 4:20. And the fourth student showed up at 5 pm. So what, TIA - this is Africa xD

OK we started with some basic throws (backhand, forehand) and a easy marker drill. And then : the first Ultimate Frisbee game with Namibian Ultimate Frisbee Player EVER xD

A totally mess. Like every time when noobs try to play Ultimate for the first time. Pull - Pass - Turn - Pass - Turn - Pass - Point. Huck and D' xD

But after two month without Ultimate it was fun again playing 5 on 5 (we had some backup from the Hostel and a guy that played with Frisbeefieber Gießen before).
