We (Team Montpellier III) set out on a three hour road trip to Lyon on Thursday to participate in the Ultimate Frisbee Regional Championships. We’re a motley crew of French guys serious about their frisbee, an anglo-man and two anglo-ladies. Lost in translation, yes. But on the volleyball courts (because we play indoors) most of the terms are English spoken with a French accent. Up becomes more like
uap and dive is
deyiveh. Starting the stall ‘compte … un … deux … ‘ is just part of the extra challenge.
Our next tournament will be in March in Nantes and I think we’ve got quite the chance for a winning weekend.
In that first photo my player is totally doing the Karate Kid Crane Kick! Fantastic.
