North Side Ultimate - New Club , New Style.

The Brisbane Premier League season 1 for 2012, beginning Thursday February 23, will be the first time the North Side Ultimate Club is represented in any league. It will hopefully be the beginning of a long involvement in all Brisbane leagues for North Side Ultimate.

At the stage we will play under the name - The NSU Cobras

NSU is about encouraging all those who live or are associated with the North Side of Brisbane to play together in leagues. Whilst it is not a rule that you must live or associate with the north of the river it is a about starting a culture and the NSU Cobras are that beginning. 

With this new beginning the NSU Cobras have come up with some guiding principles to play by:

1.               Hard Defence team - We are a D focused team so be prepared to work hard on Defence. 

2.               We take shots - Throw to your teammates in good positions.

3.               Work hard for each other –work hard to get free or present an option. 

4.               Tough but fair – Know the rules play within in them, but still play hard, uphold the spirit of the game at all times.

5.               Pride – We will ways play with pride we are who we are, we will never give up.

These are the guiding principles behind the NSU Cobras! Let’s show them throughout the season.

Now to the details of the league – we will post all information on the Facebook group and make sure to check it week for details and updates. It will be the major way we stay in contact.

Other than playing with the principals above – which we should always strive to do, the NSU Cobras have four goals for the year:

Goal 1 – learn to play together

Goal 2 – make a Semi final

Goal 3 – Win a semi final

Goal 4 – Win the league

~Always believe we can win every game we play~

Come to the Darkside - The team formally known as the Cobras.

For years now I have been playing with Cobras a team started by Liam ‘wetnose’ Gillions. He saw a gap in the BPL market and snapped up all the players that didn’t attend UQ, weren’t old enough for Dojo, didn’t quite have the discipline for the Buggers and weren’t from the Gold Coast. Thus Cobras was born.

The Cobra’s were loosely formed from QUT players; we liked to play flamboyant, glory, high-pressure high-reward brand of ultimate. Whilst this worked for while, we have struggled a little recently.

Thus, we remaking the brand.

At this stage we are still the Cobras, we may change this over time. Then what is changing; we are now going to be bigger than one team, bigger than a captain we are now an idea.

From here on it the ‘Team Formally Knows as The Cobras’ will now represent the NORTH SIDE.

Too long has ultimate players, tournaments and Uni’s been associated with the Southside or Westside of Brisbane with no representation or identify to the much nicer North Side.

So Cobras are now for those in the North Side massive. So if you work, live, born or just identify with the North Side, you are one of us!

What doesn’t change is our brand of attacking, high tempo ultimate. However, we are now an idea with an identity. The goal of this is to represent the North Side be have at lease one team in all Queensland ultimate competitions. At this stage we will start with BPL, however, the invite is open to all North Siders.

So to all of you who have a bit of North Side in you, come over to the Darkside. We will play attacking, fun no-holds-bard brand of ultimate doing it for the North Side.

Those who attend North Side schools, grow up, move to or just live North Side become drawn to the Cobras (Or whatever the name is at that time). From this point on We Are NORTH SIDE ULTIMATE (NSU)!

If you are interested in playing for NORTH SIDE ULTIMATE (NSU) at BPL or in future leagues or tournaments send you expression of interest to Reece Stewart at stewart.reece@gmail.com or myself, Finn at huckleberry.mccarthy@gmail.com but most importantly sign up to the Facebook group.
