Ultimate Frisbee

In my quest to escape boredom last week I came across a website for an ultimate frisbee team here in Madrid. They have open practices every Wednesday and Saturday so yesterday I decided to go check it out. It was awesome! There were about 25 people, most of whom are studying or teaching English. Not only did I get to meet a lot of people my age which was nice, I also met a few others who live in Alcala! I've only ever played pickup games before, so this was a bit more intense. They have a competitive team that practices outside of the open practices they hold, so even though this was called a pickup game they still ran a specific offense. It was a bit confusing to figure out at first (especially since people were telling me different things) but by the end of the 2 hours I figured it out more or less. They were all really nice and willing to explain different things and I'm going to improve a lot if I keep playing with them. They also have an open practice on Wednesday night, but it's in Madrid, so I wouldn't get back till around midnight, plus I wouldn't be able to attend the weekly intercambio meetings here in Alcala since they're also on Wednesday nights. I might go once in awhile to the Wednesday practices, but I'm definitely going to the Saturday practices when I can. After the practice a group went out for drinks, so that was nice to socialize outside of frisbee. It's amazing what you can find on the internet with a little research; I'm glad I found los quijotes!
