Open Thread - what does your team do during the winter?

Do most the players on your team play a winter sport (basketball, indoor track, swimming etc) or do you maintain a team atmosphere - practices, workouts etc.

Or do you just completely forget you have an ultimate team and come at it fresh some time in February.

Post your experience, or what you think is best in the comments.

we had a pretty even split in high school between kids who played winter sports and those who took time off basically. now in college its 100% off season training during december and january. if you aren't working someone is outworking you - that's the mentality.

its interesting to think how competition would change in the spring if certain teams had different mentalities.
I am proud to announce the 4th Annual Born to Dive, which is to be hosted @ Pennsbury High School once again, on the weekend of April 25th and 26th.

Last year the tournament was a huge success. This year not only will we have great competition (Teams such as Columbia High School, Amherst High School, and North Hills have showed interest), we will also be coming out with a new line of VC Ultimate gear just as we did last year. And, once again, we will be selling Pennsbury Discs. The tournament will be one of the most elite High School tournaments of the year, if not THE elite tournament of the year. We will provide food and water both days, and additional baked goods and drink sales will be going around on site. The Pennsbury ultimate team will also be providing housing on a FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS, to as many as we can accommodate.

All teams must have at least one chaperon.

The tournament will most likely be UPA sanctioned, so members of the team will need to be UPA Members, and provide signed waivers.
