Ultimate kudos to the courage and spirit of the team and all the supporters! All the best to everyone for the championship.. you have already won my heart a million times!

So nice to see hear Ultimate in India. We coached and started a team in a little village 3 hours from Kolkata( Mayapur Krsna Village / TOVP) 5 years ago. We actually had to have translators from English to the village Bangla language so they can learn. We even had a frisbee company sponsor us discs. It was wonderful and nice to see India's in the game. Does anybody have any contact info for this group? I can't find anything... like to be able to help them out in various fashions of support. Ultimate will make it one day into the Olympics We had a shot of it in 1986 but they voted baseball instead of ultimate... baseball didn't last. Now it's back again with breakdancing (that's faded out) so time to bring ultimate to the world through the Olympics! We'll be watching for you India. Namaste

bro anything apart from cricket is having trouble in india. frisbee will never be big. enjoy playing for fun.

[@user-id5fo5fv8r]

Thanks for the uplifting words. You're a very positive person.

[@yultimate_org]

Thank you for sharing your opinion. We resonate with the difficulty of building any sport other cricket in India. However, we are not here to make frisbee big and develop the sport. We see the sport has the potential to build people to become better versions of themselves and we would like to do our best in doing so. So we are in the business of Sport for Development and building people through the sport. Instead of building a sport through the people. But yes, we do have a lot of fun too doing what we love to do.

[@MuscleAthlete15]

​@@yultimate_org Hey, how can I start playing this ? Looks fun.

[@hackerrank9173]

​​​@@MuscleAthlete15buy a fresbie and start playing with friends learn the physics of this , how much power to use, how much to rotate, how much wrist to be fold, throwing at different angles and how to catch and collect it....trying out different strategies and tactical ways to outplay the other team.... unity of team according to plan is very important...

[@zenmaster1958]
