New Year, New you, New Swee Nee

Forget about your new year resolution to stay fit, get leaner or be a better player. Nothing beats action. A new year means following a strict diet and fitness regine. To those players who always imagine themselves as 18, wake up!!! Please do your warm up for every game even if it is pick up. If you are serious about the sport and you want to have a longer playing career, you got to take care of your health. Stretch those tight muscles before playing or you risk pulling hamstring. Yes, and I am not PULLING your leg. A 3-day 'clean' diet will make a significant impact on your performance on the field.

Let's work together for a better UPA(S) and Ultimate community.

The secret to make something work, is, first of all, the deep desire to make it work: then the faith and believe that it can work: then to hold clear definite vision in your consciousness and see it working out step by step, without one thought of doubt or disbelief. - Eileen Caddy, author
