I’ll start to internationalise Autimate a little with peeks over the Austrian Border. I’ll start with Tudor Erdősi playing with Hallodigaz-e? from Budapest.
Introduce yourselfe.
I started Ultimate in 1993, when i was 12 years old. I was member of the first Hungarian champion club in 2003 (Hallodigaz-e?) and i was member of the Austrian-Hungarian team in WUGC in Turku, 2004 (with Gregor Szith).
Describe your role in Hungarian Ultimate.
I finished my studies as sport-teacher in 2009. I was the frist official captain of the Hungarian mixed national team in 2009 and since 2011 i am the leader of Hallodigaz-e?. from 2012 september i am teaching Ultimate on the Hungarian sport university and on 2 more Universities! So we’ll have a lot of young rookies in Hungarian Ultimate…
Where will we see Hungarian teams this summer.
In 2013 2 teams will go for Beach European Champs (open, and masters).
The first priority will be the Grandslam Series (23 clubs from 8 countries; with Styrian high5 and Chuck Bronson as well). With Hallodigaz-e? we are going to Talampaya, Geneva, Swiss. And we want to reach xEUCF in Bordeaux as well, in Mixed division. I think there will be a Juniors Team (Open U20) in Cologne. The possibility is 90% it depends on the money.
Do you get any help, financial ore otherwise from governing bodies in Hungary?
The Hungarian Frisbee Association hopefully will reach the „official entity“ in our country this summer. If so we will be able to get cca. 5-10 000€/year from the sport governing body. We can use this money for coaching, and PE teaching in primary and secondary schools…
What are the newest developments in Magyar ultimate?
Our long term plan is to send in 2015 to the EU Champs teams in every divisions! Open, Women, Mixed, Masters and Juniors if possible. We have already very good connections with Universities and with the sports association of Universities. They will focus in the next years on Rugby and Ultimate with high preference!
thanks a lot.
