Who is this Swine Flu you speak of?

June 27 & 28, Purple Leisure represented themselves in the Beach Ultimate community with a fun/kick ass weekend of Ultimate in the sand.

At the tournament Huck It Long Beach, Purple Liesure (A.K.A. Swine Flu Origin) drove down to Long Beach, CA and showed the Beach society how they roll. Nothing but amazing ultimate and amazing stories were made/played at this tournament.

Day 1 (Friday):

The weekend started with Robert driving down with Geoff, Caylin's car driving down and Mario picking up Abby at the University of Spoiled Children. Caylin, Mario, Abby, Kelsey, Robert, and myself (G-off) all stayed in a hotel that wasn't that bad, but I wouldn't be surprised if the T.V. show COPS had been shot there once. The only rule in the hotel was you were not allowed to touch the stove; you may die if you touched a knob. Mario and Abby made everyone feel uncomfertable with there loud, moaning, and wrestling around while everyone was still awake. Geoff and Caylin couldn't stop themselves from laughing especially when the possible climax happened. Also, Abby got up and ran into a heating system that she thought was the bathroom door getting the attention of the room; what the room saw was Abby's pasty white ass. That was deffinitly the funniest part of the night.

Day 2 (Saturday):

I woke up and went for a run down the beach. I found out that our hotel was only a three minute walk from the party and a ten minute walk from the beach where the tourney was being held. Abby, Mario, and Geoff went to breakfast, which consisted of Mario denying the entire night.

Woke the hotelers up and we all walked down to the beach. There was no captains meeting, no begals, and no water. Not your normal tournament.

Our first opponent is the Bay Area's own PieMo or the second team at least going as MoPie. Swine Flu pretty much rolled over them. We opened up with a 4-1 lead and took half at 6-4. There team consisted of some decent players but our defense was better and they were more about having fun and drinking, which is cool but they got killed because of it. Final score 11-6. Our ladies absolutely owned them. They could not handle Tash's handling ability, Lisa's speed and sexiness, and the two Sonoma state ladies that absolutely crushed there opponent.

Our second Opponent was some team that was way good. They consisted of Monster, and Brown Chicken Brown Cow players. They crushed us 13-6.

Third opponent was dressed in all red and blue hawaiin shirts. They were very spirited and had one dominent lady. We ended up winning that game on Universe 13-12. One of their players ended up missing some time of their third game while he drank with us. Oh yeah and Bob played with us during this game. Much thanks goes out to him for that. Once the game was over he walked away into the sunset.

2-1, Not bad.

Fourth opponent we played Las Vegas Leisure and got beat pretty bad by them. Don't remember the score.

2-2.

For the fifth and final game we started 20 minutes late and I tried to Ro Sham them for the game. They didn't really want to do that. Our team was kind of out of gas and didn't really want to play. We ended up losing 13-4 or 5.

2-3.

We could have done worst. Oh and it was hell of hot. At least on our feet.

After, we go to the tournament party, which ends up being a roped off section of the bar. A couple of hundred people were all crammed in this place and to get food you had to wait at this table and snag a piece if you could. Beer had run out by the time we got there, so, I bought us all three pitchers of beer and we had a good time. Since there wasn't that much beer and that much food we all went and got more food and beer.

The Pirate story

The Sonoma State kids that were playing with us got picked up (more like hit on) by this old, ugly lady that was dressed up in a pirate costume. They were invited to go back to her house to stay that night and drink more beer. We all thought they were going to die. Supposedly they stayed up drinking, smoking and playing video games. I think they were walking funny the next day, so I don't believe their story. If you want the full story you need to ask them. It's that type of story.

The Hotelers stayed up getting tipsy and play Settlers. A good night.

Day 3 (Sunday):

As we are driving to the tournament, driving this time because we need to move our cars closer since we are not at the hotel anymore, Mario calls me saying his car isn't where he left it. I go back alone missing the first half of the first game. When I arrive we make a few phone calls to find out that his car was towed. They made stupid youthful mistakes when parking. The best part was that it wasn't stolen. We drove back, picking up the car later, and getting there with enough time to play in the second half of game two.

When we arrive we find out that we are playing a team from SLO and winning 7-4. The second point I'm in I get tripped up with my defender hurting my foot. It's pretty swollen, but of course I still play. We end up winning 13-8. We played our best game of the weekend that game. They played zone and we destroyed it.

Our second game was against a team filled with Blu players and there coach. We battled with them the entire time and when I left we were tied at 8's. I had to take Caylin, the person with the credit card, and Mario to the impound to pick it up.

While we were gone we ended up losing 13-11. Our final placing was 11th. We started the Tournament with the ranking fo 20th. We had a lot of fun, and can't wait for next year.

Swine Flu...

Ah-Choo!!!

Purp's at the beach-ut oh!

The last weekend of June will have the fantastically amazingly sexingly beautiful team of Purple Leisure playing in the sand. At Long Beach, CA Purple Leisure will be playing as Swine Flu Origin and will be rocking the house in sexy tennis skirts and golf shwag as our theme is "Golf Pro's and Tennis Ho's." Since Obviously "the man" made Swine Flu and spread it through mexico trying to keep the white man as the majority in the United States. We also created Aids to get rid of another group of people...you know who I'm talking about. Not the point. We will be rocking our golf bag full of beer and the ultimate will be amazing. I will post more after especially with pictures.

Best fan ever: contest winner

This kid is super young but knows what a good team looks like and knows how to represent his team. Larry Siegel's son JoJo is the child in the picture. The first time I saw him in his Purp Jersey I couldn't believe it, and laughed for a long time. This kid is uber cute and cheers on Purp like no other. Thanks Larry for the photo.

Purple...

That is all.

Purple...

First event but not the last

On the Saturday of Easter weekend, April 11th, Purple Leisure will be having it's first tryout of the year. The team is looking to better it's self after last year's good start and bad finish. Granted the team had a great time throughout the year, we would like to pursue a bid to regionals and shake up the bay area mixed scene. This year the team is taking a better mindset into practice. With one year under Captain Geoff's belt, he will be running the practices to get the most out of every player for 3-4 hours. Not the point though, all Purple Leisure is looking forward to the new year and here is our first chance to get back together as a team and welcome in the newbies or "shotties."

The tryout will be April 11th from 11am-2pm at Altamont Creek Elementary School in Livermore, CA. After, we have the "Social". There will be a keg, but the food is only a possibility. We will be running drills for the first two hours and then will scrimmage for the last sixty minutes. There will be cuts if need at this tryout so please bring your A game. Also, cleats should be on at 11, we'll be running right at 11. We are looking for fun and spirited players that want to play really hard and look good doing it also. Come be apart of our family, you won't regret it.

If you are interested in playing with Purple Leisure please email the captain geoff at geoffrexroth@msn.com or purple.leisure@gmail.com.

Purple Leisure Continues...YAY!

So Geoff got cut from SF Rush tryouts and alot of people have shown interest in playing Purple Leisure this year. So Geoff decided, yes Geoff is talking in the third person, that he had a great time last year, so why not do it again? This year it's going to be a little different.

If you are interested in playing with/trying out for Purp., than you can email the captain Geoff "Email Guy" Rexroth at purple.leisure@gmail.com. This is the best way to get ahold of Geoff with news having to do with the team.

The Golden Years:

Last year (2008) was our first year and created by Geoff and the bestest in the world Sara Schied, I don't think I spelt her name right...O-well. The name was decided on while standing in line at an A's game and drinking a delicious beer before we got into the game. The first name of the team was Sofa King, but then Geoff found another team by that name. How unoriginal, so Sara and Geoff, Robert Gormley was there too, but didn't contribute anything, like usual, and threw around some other names.

1. Hairless Cat Squad...."mmmmmmmm it's alright"
2. Disco Dynomite...."Getting better."

and then out of the big beautiful brain of Sara's came the perfect name for this team of degenerate, drunken, ultimate players--

PURPLE LEISURE!

The meaning was even better.

Purple Leisure (Adj.+n.) Any activity being done while partaking in drinking or drugs.

This first year was filled with low numbers, non-motivated players, and a lack of beer. Oh there was some ultimate too, but that's always fun, so it's all good. College started and some of the women on the team decided that they weren't going to come back for sectionals. They were cut. Or you could say that I pissed one of them off which I believe means the other girls are pissed off too. But we still have some girls remaining from that old squad. The better ones...unless those girls want to come back and play which means they are all awesome in my eyes.

The Future:

This year's Ultimate team will be better trained in Ultimate, Drinking and Life.

• We will be holding real tryouts this year, and everyone is expected at all practices unless previously warned.
• Also financial things will be delt with in the beginning of the season. Everyone will pay there fees in the beginnning. The uniforms are going to be sick so don't worry your money will be spent wisely. All hotel money will be collected in the beginning. Once you have paid no one will have to worry about anything for the rest of the season other than getting your butt to practice and tournaments.
• There will be 2 weekly workouts.

1. Trackwork-this will get everyone's athletic abilities to peak by the time we get to Sect.

2.Basic Running and throwing-this will be done to keep the legs fresh and in shape (2-3 miles). Also there will be a good amount of throwing. Can't hurt to throw.

• Our goals are to play very well at sectionals and turn heads at every tournament we attend. A list of tournaments that we are planning on attending will be listed soon.

I can't wait for this upcoming year. We are going to have alot of fun and play very well. Can't wait to see you all out there.

Remember that if you are interested please email me at purple.leisure@gmail.com.

Keep on huckin'
