Nationals Day 2

While the results in the Women's division went according to seedings and saw a repeat of the previous day's result between the Chch Chicks in the final against Artemis. The Men's division was thrown on it's head when the defending champs were beaten by Canterbury putting them out of Semi-final contention. Then after beating FOTWP (Ak) in pool play Caterbury came up short in the Semi. The other semi saw Layzers (Wn) blow what looked like a game winning lead to go down narrowly to COTT (Wn) who went on to beat FOTWP (Ak) in a closely fought final.

Nationals Day 1

A hard day at the office for all dealing with a blusterery day in the capital. With many low scoring games on offer the final round saw a clash of the top two Women's teams Chch Chicks and Artemis (Wn) - Chch Chicks won this encounter many are picking Artemis will have their chance for renenge in the Final tomorrow.

The Men's (Open) division saw a clear split with a top 5 teams vying for Semi-Finals spots. The end of pool play saw FOTWP (Ak), COTT (Wn) & Canterburyall tied in one pool. While Layzers (Wn) pipped defending champs Fyshwick (Oz) 9-8 in a tight battle to close out the days play.

Ultimate in Schools

At the most recent NZU Board meeting, the board identified the Juniors/Schools area as a key focus for the next couple of years. Well run schools programmes will see the growth of our player base as they filter through universities and begin playing in our regional and national competitions/events. This is likely to be the most robust way to steadily grow the number of people involved in our sport.

As a start to this process, Jacob Tapiata has kindly volunteered to lead a project to look into some ideas and plans in the schools/juniors area, with a view to trying to pool together knowledge and initiatives that have been tried or are successful all around the country. There are a lot of separate things happening in this area, and a lot to be gained by pooling and refining this knowledge.

If you are interested at all the subject of juniors ultimate or ultimate in schools, whether you are a younger player, teacher, sports coordinator, or just want to help out, get yourself signed up to NZU's 'schools' ultimate list, where any further discussion of this subject will be carried on. You can do so by visiting this website and inputting your email address:
http://lists.ultimate.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/nzu_schools

The general plan is for a general discussion about ideas. From there Jacob will liaise with a more focused group, and the report back to the list for further discussion. Some kind of forum or discussion will also be organised to occur at Indoor Nationals, to allow a more face-to-face discussion, but more on this will be sorted out over the coming weeks/months.

NZU owes a huge thank you to Jacob for assisting in this process, and hopefully we can move forward soon with a strategy to promote juniors ultimate in NZ.

Reminder - if you wish to be further involved in the discussion on this subject, sign up to the 'schools' list.

Thanks and regards,

Iain Stewart
Chairman

WUCC 2007 - Perth debriefing survey results (WUCC07survey.pdf 124 k)

Here is a copy of the results of the player survey I did as follow up to the NZ Squad going to Perth. Basically I think the results showed that the administrators and leaders did some fantastic stuff in preparation for Perth and during the tournament . People could really see the need to support the leaders more and want to help out more next time to spread the workload. Those who had a non-playing coach really appreciated it and those who didn't would have really valued having one, particularly those on inexperienced teams.

I hope the points can be used to assist in future Worlds preparation.

Cheers

WaM Tour 2 - Christchurch 4-March Action:

Check out more of Neil's pics from the weekend.

Canterbury had a good day, with local teams winning both the Women's and Open divisions... The open final was very close, with Chch digging really deep to take out the final. After pulling out a good lead early on, Bluefish came back and BF finally took the lead just into cap, going ahead and actually having game point with the disc in their possession 5 metres from their zone, with the wind at their backs.

But a clean handblock (sorry I missed the hero) by Chch and a quick upwind point brought Chch level to the jubilation of the crowd.

The pressure then showed and Bluefish coughed up the disc on their own line through a simple error and Chch pounced - making a short simple pass for victory.

Both teams played great and it was a joy to watch.

I hope you all had a nice Chirstmas break and will have a good new years.
In all the hussle and bussle of the silly season don’t forget that the Auckland tour event is coming up on the 20th and 21st of January. Entries close Friday 12th Jan! Likely cost is $225 per team as well $10 NZU levy per player.

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to sort out accommodation at the AUT hostel (just across the road from the fields) yet but I am hopeful of having it sorted out in the first week of the new year.

Thanks, look forward to hearing from you,

SPARC application lodged

After a lot of work by the Board of New Zealand Ultimate, the NZFDA filed an application for ‘Recognised Sport’ status with Sport and Recreation New Zealand (SPARC) – the sport funding arm of the government. This recognition will cover ultimate and disc golf so we are waiting with baited breath for the outcome of the application.

NZU’s 1st organisational member

Auckland Ultimate (AU) became New Zealand Ultimate’s (NZU) first recognised organisational member in October. This status means that NZU recognises AU as the regional governing body for the sport in Auckland. Hopefully this will also open some funding doors for AU and also provide more legitimacy in its dealings with organisations outside the sport. If your organisation wishes to become an organisational member of NZU, please feel free to contact the board to discuss this option.

Dave Campell appointed as NZU’s Tournament Series Coordinator

Congratulations to Dave Campbell from Wellington who was the successful applicant for the Tournaments Coordinator position assisting the NZU Board. Dave will look after the coordination of all of NZU’s national tournament for the 2005/2006 season, helping the local TDs to produce some consistently great tournaments. NZU thanks Dave for putting his hand up to help out and look forward to some great events this summer.

Update on NZU tournaments

Speaking of NZU tournaments, a full announcement is due shortly, confirming the dates and venues of all of the 2005/2006 season. As you will have seen on regional email lists, Adele Gibson has called for entries for the 1st Mixed event, in Wellington on December 10-11.

NZU hope to shortly confirm dates and venues for the remaining three events currently scheduled so that you can all book airfares and accommodation. Remember that there is still the possibility of organizing a 3rd Mens/Womens events in early May, subject to demand. A couple of Aussie teams have already expressed an interest in coming over to NZ after their nationals tournament so it could be a great event. Further interest will be looked for at the upcoming national events before a decision is made.

Worlds Clubs initial bids announced

WFDF have released the initial bids for World Ultimate Club Championships 2006 in Perth. New Zealand have been allocated the following bids:

1 Open
2 Women
3 Mixed
1 Masters

The Board of NZU are working with those people who expressed an interesting in sending a team earlier in the year so that we can hopefully take up all of our allocation.
