Ultimate preseason teaching sport, skills

Andover High School students interested in taking up Ultimate frisbee can register now to be part of the team. There are boys and girls teams, and Ultimate is open to every Andover High student.

Ongoing preseason sessions are focusing on learning about the sport, so no experience is necessary to join the team, according to a release.

"Ultimate combines the fast-paced action of soccer with the skills and strategies similar to basketball and lacrosse," according to a release from the team. "You will learn basic throws, defense, and offense patterns through drills, exercises, and plenty of games."

Preseason sessions are taking place on Sundays at the Andover High School Field House from 6 to 8 p.m. until Feb. 26. There will be a parent information session next Wednesday, Feb. 15 at Andover High before the AHS Open House that night.

The regular season begins in the spring.

Andover Ultimate is a self-funded high school sport that relies on the support of parents and players. For additional information on participating or supporting the team, email Cindy Cromer at cindycromer@verizon.net.
