Thank You!
It's now been a couple weeks since the EuroStars Tour took on 9 US club teams and whilst the Americans take the inaugural Americus Cup (6-3) the high standard of the games and the narrow margins have shown that European Ultimate can challenge at every level. It showed that Women’s Ultimate does have an audience worldwide. We are very proud to have successfully put together a team of strangers from 10 different countries and within hours play together as teammates. The tour was an amazing time and we felt the love and appreciation from many great people in our ultimate community. To represent Europe and to play against USA’s best teams we are honoured. To have the opportunity to learn and grow as players and leaders of our local communities it really was a dream come true. This experience has re-energised all of us and we are itching to share the love with our local communities.
