SP Ultimate : UP Coming Weeks

Hello people,

in the upcoming weeks we'll be moving onto various fundamentals of Ultimate during Thursday trainings.

Please do understand that we will try to cater to as many people as possible, because of limited space due to the closure of the sports complex we will have to make do with what we have.

None-the-less every training is essential for learning the sport.

There will be a training camp during the first week of the June Holidays. We will update once more details are confirmed.

Some Common FAQs-

Are there any trials for Ultimate? If so when?

We have what is called, on-going trials. This means that we take in as many people as we can and train up as many people who want to be trained up. When a competition or tournament (eg: Pol-ITE games, SMU Invitationals) arises we will conduct selections based on the pool of players we currently have.

Why is this so?

Ultimate is a relatively new sport to the country, as such even though many have played it before in schools (eg: PE lessons, sports festivals, Teen Games) there is a whole lot more to the sport which would be taught along the way. As such selections at this point of time would be hard to be carried out. We have seen many who initially couldn't even throw a disc properly become fine players after time.

What are some of the competitions Ultimate has in the year?

Ultimate has become an official Pol-ITE (poly-ite) sport.
Inter-varsity Polytechnic (IVP) - NYP Invitational , 13 schools (5Polys, 4 Unis, 4 JCs)
Grab.Huck.Score - SMU's Invitational

and a few more minor tournaments

Are there other schools who have Ultimate Teams?

Yes, currently all 5 Polytechnics and 4 Universities have Ultimate teams. The sport itself is called "ultimate". There are 4 JCs and ACS(i) which adds to the list.
