[Video] Watchung Hills 2009 highlights

Some solid stuff from Watchung Hills - a little more documentarian flair than the normal highlight videos we post but great soundtrack and great highlights as always.

Youth Club Championships 2007: Flood HL Video

The 2007 Youth Club Championship Oregon: Flood Girls Team video is now available. This unique tournament experience pitted the top 100 some U-19 girls in a 7 team round-robin format. Everything took place in Blaine, MN on August 11th & 12th. And though this is our video, highlights from each game are shown (not just ours).

ipod video - mp4 - (640x360) - 199MB
stage6 divx stream - divx - (1280x720) - stream

googlevideo - (320x240) - stream

(use this as a last resort, because the quality puts the video to shame)


(Though I did not want to put out a lower quality version, there have been requests made.  I cannot upload this video to youtube as they have restrictions over 100MB, but this is now available on googlevideo to see.  The quicktime stream that I normally do was not getting much use at all in previous videos and its' a headache to get to work right now.  So, I leave you with these three sources)

Luke Johnson moves to the Midwest

It is a little late notice, but I wanted to let those who may care that I've moved from Eugene, OR and my coaching position with Churchill High School (and the middle schools) to pursue a seminary degree in Chicago, IL. I am now here in Chicago, slowly getting settled with classes that started two days ago. I have been honored to be the coach at CHS for the last 4 years and been part of the amazing ride our boys and girls have let me share with them on. Saying goodbye to them was the hardest thing I've done, and I will miss them more than they will ever know.

I also will no longer be the Oregon contributor and the one who will spew forth high light videos many considered beautiful, while others considered obnoxious.

I hope to get involved in the ultimate scene here in Chicago, but for now have made connections with the college teams here on campus that I helped start 5 years ago. With another year of college elligibility, I plan on playing a little more disc than I coached. I even plan on continuing to play with Oregon's Rhino team this club season and plane tickets are already bought for the Northwest Regionals (and hope to buy ones for Nationals).

I know that I'll be getting back into juniors ultimate some day, but for the time being I hope to follow Churchill and others through this blog and through hopefully more than a few highlight videos.

A reminder of the prizes for the contest, and the original entry specifications.

The voting booth will be added shortly. Each person will be allowed to vote once with the top three receiving prizes in the People's choice category. Then the editors will select 3 for the editor's choice award.

UPDATE - there appear to be some glitches with the voting program used, so the poll wont display in the page for some reason. However you can still vote just by clicking on the button below! (And hopefully sometime soon the actual poll will begin to show up on the page as well)

VOTING CLOSED!
(winners will be announced sometime next week)

The grand unveiling....

Will come tonight at midnight or tomorrow at 3:00pm....

hopefully that shows up (this is also my attempt at testing the polling stuff)

Highlight reel contest - the DEADLINE has passed!! or has it....

After two months in the making, some awesome prizes by some sweet sponsors and some spectacular submissions the deadline for entries has passed....

Or has it....

The submitted videos will be shown on the site in a grand unveiling on next Tuesday, May 8th (time TBA - but you best be here!). If submissions are sent to the PlayUltimateBlog@gmail.com address before then (May 8th) they will still be accepted. A few people emailed me saying that uploading to YouTube or Google Video takes a while, so i am more than happy to be understanding in this situation.

BUT that is the absolute last deadline, as we will show the videos on the site the following day and open up the polls for voting. Voting will go on for two days (until the 10th) and then winners will be announced on the Friday (right before Westerns, PA States etc).

For your submission to be valid you MUST send the information necessary to PlayUltimateBlog@gmail.com.

If you have made a highlight reel since the fall season, you might as well submit it to the contest, you could win some very sweet prizes, as well as have your video featured on the site.


Thank you to all who already submitted entries they will be posted to the site in the order in which they were received, so if you got your stuff in early though shalt be rewarded.

(These wonderful prizes, and support for this contest, have been brought to you through the generous donations of UltiVillage, DiscFilms, UltimateFris.be and the University of Pittsburgh's Open and Women's teams.)
