Going to college in Louisville how do i get started

Hey so i'm going to college at the University of Louisville this fall and I'm from Minnesota and have played Ultimate for two years or so and know that UL doesnt have a team so I was wondering if its easy for me to get started with the league being a college student and all

Louisville, CO...

Ordinarily, there would be no reason to pay any attention to Louisville, CO.  However, Louisville CO is getting some attention these days because it got the top spot in the list of CNN Money.com Best Cities to live in.  A small mountain town with population of less than 20,000, straight out of South Park, median family income is nearly twice the national average – because only rich people can afford to live in mountain towns like Louisville, Colorado.  At any rate, the list it tops tends to favor small towns (criteria being a population of 50,000 or less – hardly small) over cities.  From the description of Louisville CO, it might be worth some easy payday loans to move there.

U of L team

I know this has been up there for a few months now, but it should be updated that U of L does have a men's team now. Contact Evan Boucher if you are a new U of L student interested in playing next year.

Alright thanks for the info

Alright thanks for the info and do you know how i can get in contact with those people you mentioned for Cruell da ville and LouEvil?

in response to the Minnesota newcomer

Hello, my name is Davis, I'm a summer league veteran of 5 years now and I am currently a grad student at UofL. As far as your interest in LUFA, and Ultimate in general, you're enthusiasm is totally welcome here in Louisville. As you said in your post, UofL does not have a team currently, and that would be correct. In the past there has been a somewhat coherent group of students playing for UofL, but that is no longer the case.The reason for this is purely logistical. UofL students have found better teammates, greater wisdom of the game, and more experience all around in the local teams LouEvil (men's), and Cruella da Ville (coed), and the occasional women's team. Not to say that college play isn't great fun, because it is, however, here in Louisville at least, the city doesn't revolve around UofL like most colleges, rather, UofL revolves around the city. So, with that in mind, try to think of your Ultimate experience here in Louisville not as a college-centric experience, but more like a city-centric experience.To more directly answer your question, you will have no problem accessing the Ultimate community here in Louisvlle. As long as you're willing to participate you will always have a place to play. League play is "recreational," therefore it requires little knowledge of the game to participate. Furthermore, league is a year-round occurrence and is broken up into three seasons. In between seasons there's always the weekly pick-up at one of our local parks. So, Ultimate is always happening. On the other hand, if you want to play with some of the more competetive teams then you should contact Dan Ambrose/Raymie Younkin/Meghin Davis all figure-heads of the Cruella da Ville coed team, or for the men's team you should contact Steve Loomis. The local teams will travel for tournament play in the region, and in certain years put up for national's bids.Without much else to say, all I can tell you is that your Ultimate destiny is in the palm of your hands here in Louisville. Good Luck, and maybe I'll see you on the pitch.
