Touring Teams

Cruxiom:

We are Crux and Axiom, a Touring Ultimate Frisbee system based out of Hamilton. Crux is synonymous with core, and that is what we’re about, creating a strong core for Ultimate Frisbee in Hamilton and improving the core abilities of our players. Axiom is a statement that is taken to be true, to serve as a premise or starting point for further reasoning. Our objective is to provide a fun and enjoyable environment in which players strive develop their skills. Crux is a mixed competitive ultimate team and Axiom is a mixed development ultimate team, both based out of Hamilton. We practice once a week to develop our team cohesion, individual skills, and fitness. Our season runs from April to August during that time we compete at tournaments in Ontario, travelling outside the province once a year to compete at the Canadian Ultimate Championships. Our team is dedicated to encouraging and improving players in the sport of Ultimate Frisbee, with a special emphasis on our three core tenets:

GENDER EQUITY,
We are committed to helping develop women in the community. Last year we had an even roster of women and men, including roles, with 6 handlers and 8 cutters of each gender. We also committed to playing both genders equally through ratio rules. We also pushed for GE in player touches with our stats showing that our women had 41% of our teams touches (for comparison, the stats in this research of games played at USAU mixed over the years of 2014-2017 are that women got 26% of touches as shown here). We are looking to expand this value to encompass all types of equity in future years, with a focus still on gender equity.

COMMITMENTWe regularly had 20-25 players at practice and both coaches. Our players often show up early and leave late to work on throwing or to go over things that they’re unsure about or working on. We also had an average of 25 (out of 28) players at tournaments last year.EXCELLENCE,We have qualified and attended Canadian Ultimate Championships in both years that we have been a team, qualifying in our first year as Ontario’s 8th bid and coming 19th of 20 at Nationals. Last year we qualified as Ontario’s 4th bid and finished 16th of 20, after losing universe point games to both the eventual 12th and 14th place teams.
