Ultimately a good cause


Matt: The teams were gathered, it would be a showdown like no other, well kinda similar to last years tournament but that's not the point, the field was set, the warring factions drawn (read friendly players), the battle was ready to rage on through the scorching heat. Yes, we gathered at the American School of Dubai for another Ultimate Frisbee Charity Tournament, the third of it's kind. DUCE as it's now fondly known, Dubai Ultimate Charity Event

We raised a total of $10,500 for the charities - Schools in remote parts of India.

It's a really fun day, with people coming from all over the place to join in, we had teams from Saudi joining us this year.

A word from the organisers:
"The DUCE Tournament provided exciting examples of teamwork and athleticism, all in the spirit of friendly competition. We had raffle prizes, a BBQ and our Room to Read Café served up some treats in a nice quiet atmosphere. Certainly, if you could make it there was something for you to enjoy. Of course, we cannot organize these events without the support and donation of valuable time by our faculty and parents. DUCE was no exception and on what was a very busy weekend for our community, people came out and showed their support. For this we are very grateful."
