May 2nd: Ultimate Gameday!

AU athletes and coaches alike had a great time today throwing discs in the beautiful summer weather- we worked on passing skills, played frisbee golf, and learned a bit about nutrition! 

Warming up in the summer sun!

Goal for the week: Each of our athletes took home a checklist of things to do to try and eat healthier this week:

- Never drinking soda
