Melina Coogan, the new english teacher at New River Academy, happens to be one of the best Ultimate Frisbee players i have ever seen and she loves teaching new throws and plays to them team. I myself am not the best ultimate player but within a couple of games i was making cuts and passing the disc, with the help of Melina teaching me my backhand. I even got to try pulling the disc, which means throwing it off kinda like in football how the team punts to the other team to start the play. Morning workouts are becoming so much more fun because every running day we jog to the field to get a quick game in. Ultimate i have found is one of the best workouts ever and it is great seeing everyone playing together and surrportive of the players that are just learning the game.
