After a lot of deliberation, I finally joined an ultimate frisbee league. I've been really missing a team sport, yet I wasn't happy with pickup. I found out about a lot of different pickup times and locations, yet every single time I planned my day around them, I'd arrive to find 2 or 3 people there. I really don't want to have to put Navi in daycare or rush around taking her for exercise only to show up with an hour free for an ultimate game and nobody's there. It got really irritating, and I stopped even trying.
Then I found this winter ultimate league that takes place really close by. It was pretty cheap as far as ultimate leagues go, and it was a draft league. You don't need a team; you just sign up and are drafted onto a team. So I signed up...and goodness...what took me so long?
Tonight was the first game, and I got home absolutely euphoric. I missed the game so much. I missed the wonderful spirits of the people who play the game. I missed meeting new people, playing with new people, sharing stories with them. My team is wonderful. Everyone is really happy. They all play very hard, yet don't get upset if something goes wrong. I'm really glad I've started playing again.
