WAF participated with 2 teams during the national beach championships 2024 (Hargen). The 6th and 7th of July two WAF teams battled against other teams on the beach! A tournament full of diving, throwing, wind, and awesome plays! Or so we thought…
The Dutch summer is still hiding for us frisbee players. With an official weather warning (code yellow/ orange) the tournament got relocated from the beach to the soccer fields behind the dunes. With these wind conditions it was not possible to play ultimate frisbee without the frisbee flying all the way from Hargen to Germany. Although the relocation of the games, the wind was still a big “luck” factor in every game. Steady handling play decided most of the matches.
Luckily the second day was on the beach! Perhaps we were less lucky with the weather conditions. Our teams did not consist of 5 players anymore, but 6: the wind. I can assure you that the wind made the most defenses on every team. Nevertheless both WAF teams gave it their all during the second day!
Our WAF WBUCC2024 team was able to defeat all their opponents including another WBUCC2024 team from Antwerpen! Unfortunately the wind got the better of us during the finals. Second place for WAF!
