Winter Workouts

Heres a couple workouts that you can do over break, a few of you said you would be productive so here you go.

I would start each workout with a either a short run 1/2 mile +/- or with 5, 10-20-30 shuttles with a 30 second rest between each one, whichever is easier for you to do at your house or in your neighborhood. This is just to get the heart rate up and let you loosen up before the workout.

Leg Workout - 3 times through
Lunges - 15 each leg
Single Leg Calf Raises - 15 each leg
Leg Raises - 1 minute scissors - lay on your back, hands under your back, lift your legs about 6 inches off the ground, and then spread them out wide then back together as quickly as possible without touching the ground as fast as possible for the time
Prisoner Squats - 50 - just like doing squats in a gym just with no weight
Leg Raises - 1 minute up/downs - same as before but you will move your legs up about 1 foot from the starting position then back down as fast as possible for the time

Upper Body - 3 times through
Push Ups - hands out wide - 20
Chair Dips - 15
Torso Raises - 20 - lay face down hands on your head, raise your torso off the ground, lower your torso, repeat
Chinups - to failure - if you have a bar or some other way to do chinups
Crunches - 50

Jumping - 3 times through
Burpees - 15
Line Hops - 1 min as fast as possible
Box Jumps (also called leap ups)- 20 - you will need some sort of box, folding chair, or something else that can support your weight and is 18-24 inches high.
Single Leg Calf Raises - 15 each leg
Alternating Leg Box Jumps (also called step ups)- 20 each leg - you will need some sort of box, folding chair, or something else that can support your weight and is 18-24 inches high.

You should also try to do a long run 2 miles +/- once a week if possible

If you are unsure of what any exercise is a quick google search should tell you all you need to know.

Year End Meeting Recap

For those of you who didn't make it, and it was a lot of you, here is a recap of what we went over.

- Practice will start on February 7, 2011. The first 2 mondays will be tryouts with the days in the middle for conditioning, drills, and some scrimmaging. We will be keeping attendance at practice from now on.

- I want everyone to play winter league if possible, especially if you plan on being on varsity again in the spring or trying out in the spring. Winter League signup info is in an earlir post.

- We are going to try and have an indoor tournament to kick of the year in late January, it will be at Woodside on a Sunday if it happens, you will have to sign up in advance, more details to come.

- We have a disc design which you can see below, thanks Tru, and will be working with discraft to determine how to best print it. Some of the shading will not be possible but it will be based on this design.



- We have a rough idea of the varsity and jv jerseys, see below, and will work with whichever company we end up choosing to determine how best to print them. Cost will be $50 (possibly less depending on company) for a set of 1 white and 1 dark jersey and shorts.



- The early draft of the spring tournament schedule is on the calendar. Varsity has the Woodside Invite College and HS editions, YHB Invite, States, and possibly Easterns, we will look for something in April as well. JV has Woodside Invite HS edition, Shore Tour, States, and we will look for something else.

Sue Inge Stats

Stats from this Saturday at Sue Inge are below. The big thing again this past weekend was turnovers, 57 turnovers in 54 points played, that's 1.05 turnovers per point. We have got to bring that number down to be successful. A lot of them came on poor decision hucks we only completed 6 of 26 huck attempts or 23% we have to make better choices on when to huck.

New Thursday Practice

Thursday 12-9-10

Run, plyos, stretch
30-30s, 1 disc, normal warmup style with both throws and s-cut for both throws

Scrimmage with double score, focus on running endzone, calling On the Block and Animal

Tuesday, December 7, 2010

Wednesday & Thursday Practice

If you haven't seen Chappell and gotten a field trip permission slip go do it NOW, you need to turn it in by the end of the day Friday or you can not go on Saturday. We will have 2 vans which should handle most of Varsity and JV but will probably need a couple parents to head up and take a couple people.

Games to 15, 2 time-outs per half.

10:00 am - LCB v Woodside
11:45 am - Woodside v YHB
1:30 pm - LCB v YHB

Winter League

As usual we would like all varsity players and anyone considering trying out for varsity in the spring to sign up for Winter League. Its a great chance to play and get better regardless of your skill level.

Registration can be found here Games are in Williamsburg on Saturday mornings, you will get 14 games and playoffs, a disc, and a shirt. Its always a great time even if it is a little cold, so get signed up.

You do not have to be a USAU member to play Winter League but it will save you a few bucks and it will be required playing at states, so its best to just do it now. Signup and renewal stuff can be found here.

Tidewater Tuneup Stats

Tidewater Tuneup stats are listed below. The big thing I want to point out this time is the turnovers. We played 103 total points in 6 games and turned the disc over 124 times (1.20/pt). That's obviously more than once per point which is just way to high even for the somewhat windy conditions we faced. We have got to do a better job of keeping possession when we have it, the more turnovers we have the less chance we are going to win the game. Just to compare, in Fall Brawl we played 153 points in 8 games and turned the disc over 131 times (.86/pt). Congrats to Angel for being the only person without a turnover, Will, Alan, Adante for the most statistical improvement.

Practice - Wed. 12-1-10 & Thur. 12-2-10

Wednesday 12-1-10
-Run, Plyos, Stretch
-Short 4 line drill, run it until everyone has thrown, twice through all the lines for the cutters
-Scrimmage to 7, 2pt breakside scores like we did previously, 10yd breakside area, 70yd sprint for each breakside score given up your team
-Triangle Mark Drill
-5 Minute Drill
-Scrimmage with Double Score

If it rains use the indoor practice that has been listed previously.

Thursday 12-2-10
-Run, Plyos, Stretch
-4 corners, short version with throws around 20yds
-Breakmark Drill, run through with marks on both sides, everyone should mark at some point
-W&M Drill (triangle of death) run it until everyone throws, short and long cuts, set up 2 so no one is standing around to long
-Scrimmage to 7, losing team runs sprints for the difference in the score
-5 minute drill if there is time left

-Scrimmage same as before

Monday - 11/8/10

Practice - Saturday October 30, 2010

Change of plans we are going to try and practice on Saturday morning, JV and Girls will be out there we should make the effort too. Time will be 10-12 at which point I have to leave if the others stay later you are welcome to do so. We will run some drills and scrimmage on our own if we have numbers and if not we will combine. Sorry about wavering on that at the end of practice Thursday.

I'm going to stress again the Saturday Nov. 13, 2010 practice that one is mandatory!

Tuneup Discs

Below is what the Tidewater Tuneup discs will look like. They will be in on Monday if you are interested let myself or Chappell know and we can bring some out to practice, otherwise you will have to wait until Tidewater Tuneup like everyone else to get one. Cost will be $10 each.

Tuesday, October 26, 2010

Saturday Practice

We are going to have a Saturday practice on November 13, 2010 from 10-1 so try and get the morning off if you need to. This is 1 week before Tuneup so its important for everyone to be there.

Practice - Wednesday Oct. 27

Wednesday Oct. 27
Run, Plyos Stretch
30-30's with 1 disc run to both sides and run S-cut to both sides, like warmups at
Fall Brawl
Scrimmage with Double Score - stress calling all 3 endzones (normal, On the Block, Animal aka Striker [instead of calling striker we will call out an animal, ex. monkey, lion, zebra are all striker]) get the endzone set off turns and try to give time to transition into endzone with handler movement during regular offense.
Endzone drill - add the defender after a little while
Short and Long - set up two so one with flicks and one with backhands rotate from one to the other, 2 times through both
Scrimmage - work on running Symmetry, we didn't run it at all this weekend because we need to work on it more.

If the weather is bad and you are forced inside do the following:

Long run (couple laps through the school or something like that) and stretch
Do 1 each of the following for 1 set, 3 sets total:

Shuttle runs of 10,20,30yds
Plyos for 30 yds, high knees, butt kicks, marios, luigis, lunges
T-Drill and X-Drill, set both up and run one right after the other
15 Burpees

After running do any throwing you can do inside, breakmark, 30-30's, etc. you can also do triangle mark drill

Fall Brawl Stats

See the stats from Fall Brawl below, I'm sure you have all been dying to see since the minute you realized we were keeping stats. The Plus/Minus is your ratio of good things (scores, assists, D's) to bad things (turnovers) that you had for the tournament plus is obviously good, but don't be discouraged by being in the minus its not necessarily bad. If you touched the disc 100 times and only had 1 turn but no assists, scores, or D's you'd be in the minus but would have only turned the disc over 1% of the time which is good.

Monday, October 25, 2010

Fall Brawl Recap

Great tournament this weekend guys, we worked hard, learned what we need to work on, and will become a better team for it. Tied for 5th is a solid finish in a high level tournament like Fall Brawl. Be proud of the way we played and your team.

Thanks to all the parents involved in making the trip possible this weekend as always it wouldn't have been as successful as it was without you.

We apologize for the extremely late return but it was due to unforseen circumstances and we did our best to to get through them the best way possible. Its a learning experience with each new group of kids/parents every year so please know that we will continue to approve and run more smoothly as we move forward.

VC Sublimated Jersey Contest


This is a mock up of what the sublimated jersey will look like if we can win the contest VC Ultimate is doing. We will refine it a little before we get them printed but it should give you the general idea. Purple background, "Woodside Ultimate" in lots of different fonts and shades of grey and white, Woodside on the front your number on the back with a drop shadow behind each. In order for us to have a chance you need to go to Facebook and "like" VC Ultimate, then go to the jersey contest and "like" our design. Than get all your friends to do it too. We are a couple weeks and a few hundred votes behind but I'm sure we can make this happen if you get all your friends to do it.

Camp Wrapup/First Practice

Ultimate camp this weekend went great, we had about 50 kids out at the peak. We had a lot of new guys and girls out and hopefully they will keep coming out, and playing ultimate. I know we threw a lot of information out with all the sessions and scrimmaging, hopefully everyone absorbed a lot of it and wants to learn more.

First practice is this Wednesday, September 22, 2010. Meet in Chappell's room, number 212, at 2:30 for a short meeting followed by practice out on our regular practice field behind the elementary school. Bring cleats and a white and dark shirt as usual. Lets continue the good start to the year with a great first practice.

Tidewater Tuneup, Fall Ultimate Camp, and the first practice dates are all set now. Ultimate Camp will be Sept. 18, the first practice will be on Wednesday, Sept. 22 with a Saturday practice that week on Sept. 25, and Tidewater Tuneup is set for Nov. 20-21. If you have a job plan ahead for the 18 and 25 now so you can be there these two dates are important. If you have a job plan ahead and take off the 18th and the morning of the 25th.

We are 3 weeks out from practice you should be doing some running and throwing on your own to get ready by this point. If you are interested you can come out to the CNU track/practice fields on Satuday Aug. 29 for a little running and throwing.

Preseason Workouts - Get Ready for Practice

We are a little over a month out from the start of school and practice. Hopefully everyone will be getting the link to the website and checking out whats going on with Woodside Ultimate for the fall. Please look through the site and let me know (rrudnic@gmail.com) anything you think could be added to make the site better and more useful.The purpose of this post is to talk about some changes for this year and to let you know what I would like you to be doing over the next month to get ready for practice.

The changes:
We will be running less in practice and incorporating more drills and situational scrimmaging. I believe we can be in excellent shape capable of running with any team we play by running the drills and scrimmages hard. I expect that you to give 100% during drills and scrimmaging.

You will be accountable for being late or missing practice without a legitimate excuse. You will also be accountable for having the proper attire, cleats, etc. We have limited time to practice and we need to make the most of it. Not coming or being unprepared isn't acceptable anymore.

We will look into having some indoor practices when the weather is poor in late fall and winter.

We will be trying to set up some scrimmages with LC Bird during periods when we don't have tournaments.

What you should be doing
There is just over a month until the first practice (see Ultimate Calendar) and I'm sure most of you haven't been playing, running, or done much of anything for Ultimate since May. I would like everyone to try to run twice a week leading up to practice in order to get back into shape and give us a good starting point. I have posted several track workouts, you should try to run one of them on 1 of your days and a different one or a distance run (3 miles) on the other day. You should also try and throw a couple times a week leading up to practice. Get together with a couple of the other players and run together and throw afterwards or go on your own but get back into Ultimate. You can also come run with me at Christopher Newport University if you want, I normally go on Monday and Thursday, email me if you are interested.

I would also recommend everyone start Air Alert as soon as possible and try to stick to the schedule through the completion.

This year is going to be a lot different than last year but our goal is the same to Win States and get a bid to Easterns. So get ready for a fun year with a lot of great Ultimate, and go for a run.

Track Workout 4

12 x 200's is a workout designed for 2 people on an indoor track (indoor tracks are 200m). The first person will run 1 lap hard and when completing 1 full lap the second player will go while the first rests, another option would be 100m out and back like the straighaway on a standard track. 12 reps per person of 200 meters with a rest between each rep. This can be modified to be done with 3 players on a standard (400m) outdoor track with 1 player on each side of the track in the rest cycle while 1 player is running, however this results in a rest period twice as long. I would recommend increasing the number of reps (18-24) if this format is used.

500 meters, 1 set of 4 reps, 2 minutes rest between reps
