For the past 3 years (2007-2009) we have run a Ultimate program with 240 high school scholars during the schools winter break. Ultimate was introduced to the program by James Lambert 2 years ago when he was a student at Wits. It has been great to see how inclusive Ultimate has been as a co-ed sport over the past three years. The girls have been just as competitve as the guys (if not more skilled and better tactically!).
Ultimate served as part of the phys-ed time. Every year the phys-ed time culminated in an ultimate tournament, which the kids really enjoyed. Thanks to everyone who helped with the program: James Lambert, Richard Lay, Marc Lewis, Baden Dowie, Mfundo Sithole, Dyllan Wallet, Luisa Nardini and Jon Linde.

Swaziland details
Johannesburg has some commitment for the Bushfire weekend so far but have not made decisions for the 8-9th
Any body keen can contact me (Dylan) dfw700@gmail.com
1) 1-2 August (Bushfire weekend): whoever is in town, plan to play! Will be more informal, additional details coming from Michelle and the Swazi crew
2) 8-9 August (Ultimate weekend): plan to be back in Mbabane for some more serious Ultimate! Will be more formal; the idea is to work on tournament-level play and preparation for nationals, and this will be a key event to help our local Mozambican players who we want to bring to nationals. Additional details will be coming from the SwaziMoz crew
Nationals: Johannesburg
We are hosting Nationals this year so make sure that you have blocked out the weekend of the 3-4 October. We will be hosting teams from all over the country and beyond.

Message from James (james@wildcardsa.co.za) in Cape Town:
Cape Town Ultimate Page
SA Nationals 2006 Video
Like Nick Cage in a bad treasure hunt movie, I have discovered and dusted the cobwebs off my old hard drive and recovered my video editing project from Nationals ‘06.
Yes, its beyond overdue, and might be outdated to the point of antiquity, but that makes it even more cool to watch. See some old legends in full action and see some current legends looking younger, fitter and with more hair. Witness the scraggly beginnings of teams that grew to dominate, awesome full game footage, many magic game moments and off-field extras…
This was a labour of love and I want to share it, but to help cover cost of discs, boxes, printing and postage the prices are as follows:
Single DVD R50
Pack of 5 R200 (R40/DVD)
Pack of 10 R300 (R30/DVD)
To place orders email me at: james[at]wildcardsa[dot]co[dot]za
