The Spirit 7 Ultimate team had a short but fun history. Playing in a recreational league Friday nights, Jason H. put the team together with the unfortunate name of "Weekend Extreme" in the summer of 2003. Stringing together many losses but not short on fun, the team improved and got better and better as the season progressed, finishing in 2nd place. Jason could no longer captain the team the following year and thus SBP took over for the summers of 2004 and 2005 (and of course, there was the attempt at a fall league, too, where the team did not record one win the entire season! Ah, we were the best looking team though!).

The name Spirit 7 came about because, out of a score of 10, our team scored a 7 for spirit rating, a rating the opposing team assigns after each game is played. It was the lowest in our league (we started off with short fuses), but to remind us we needed to improve in this area, and the fact that the "Weekend Extreme" name HAD to go, the name Sprit 7 was assigned. The following season, we ranked a 9+ in the spirit department.

Because of other commitments, only 1/2 of the team could commit to playing again this season, thus the disbanding of Spirit 7 became official. Fridays was a fun night to get together will all my friends to play and became a favourite day of the week for me. Is this truly the end of Spirit 7? We shall see....
