[SUC] We do Vudoo

[David Jensen]

Dear Vudoo,



Only 3 months to go until Manila, and not a moment to waste in our
preparations.



As Vudoo’s experiences in Bali and Singapore have shown, we are capable of
competing with top teams in the region. Now it is time for us to not only
compete with the top teams, but to *BE* one of the top teams. All that is
required is a new level of commitment and focus in our preparation and
training. Sounds pretty easy, eh? You bet it is! So here is the plan for
Manila:



   - Vudoo will send a mixed team to the Asia-Oceanic Ultimate Club
   Championships / Manila Spirits, to be held from November 6-8, 2009 (3-day
   tournament!). This tournament also serves as qualifications for 2010 World
   Ultimate Club Championships in Prague next year... (more on that later!)
   - Goal: Top 4 finish among Asian Ultimate teams (not counting Japan &
   Australia)
   - Players will be expected to train 2x / week with the team:
      - Speed & fitness at Hoa Lu track every Thursday evening from 7-8pm
      - Skills & strategy at RMIT every Saturday morning from 9-11am
   - Players will be expected to make measurable gains during the next 3
   months of training and to reach certain benchmarks regarding speed,
   endurance, and skills.
   - Training partners will be assigned so that each of us can help each
   other achieve our goals.
   - All players from SUC & RMIT are welcome to join Vudoo in training and
   in Manila. Ideal team size is 18-20 players, but we can consider a larger
   roster if more players are committed to training with the team and would
   like to support the team in Manila.
   - In special cases, players may be permitted to do some training on their
   own and still be eligible to join the team, provided that this is discussed
   in advance and agreed upon with captains.

Everyone interested in participating in this ambitious program is asked to
confirm their commitment to Vu Anh Vu and myself by email no later
than *Wednesday,
August 19.* This does not obligate you to go to Manila, but does mean that
you agree to train with the team. As each of us makes this commitment and
puts forth the effort to take Vudoo to the next level, we will be amazed by
the results we see both in our own skill level and fitness, as well as in
the team's accomplishments and success.



We will have our first track work-out this *Thursday at 7pm *at Hoa Lu
stadium (corner of Dinh Tien Hoang & Nguyen Thi Minh Khai), followed by our
first skills & strategy training on *Saturday morning at 9am *at RMIT.



Go Vudoo!
