Priority 1: Discs

Ultimate fever has swept through Poncol (a small neighbourhood in Kampung Melayu, East Jakarta) but we want to expand. Would we like a field of our own? Hell yeah... But before we get that, we actually need to get the equipment.

Ultimate is often promoted as an egalitarian sport because all you need to play is a disc, a place to run around, and some people. Unfortunately for those of us who live in places like Indonesia though, discs that you can actually play ultimate with are a little hard to come by.

There is no real limit to the number of discs we need, the more we get, the more we can expand. The hardest working man in Indonesian ultimate, Ardy Ferdianto, has a huge network of schoolteachers from his time as a school drama teacher so the plan is to run a series of clinics for sports teachers throughout Jakarta and to give them all a disc. They can train the kids during PE class, and once we get a field, interested kids can come and play pick-up every Sunday morning at a central location (yet to be finally decided). The development of each school's ultimate program will be overseen by Ardy.

Fortunately for us, the World Ultimate Club Championships are coming up next week. So if you're going to Perth and you've got a disc you don't need anymore, don't just let it gather dust, send it our way. How will you send it our way you ask?

Give it to the man with the very large head:

His name is Boom and he plays for Force Durian Gamelan Orchestra.

Thanks, and good luck to everyone going to Worlds!
