You know it's winter when the Amsterdam ultimate frisbee league plays under the bright artificial lights, and everyone puts on several layers. In between plays if you look above everyone's head and rising from their shoulders, you'll see a big poof of smoke.

While most teams around the Netherlands go indoors to play in cozy gymnasiums for the winter, many of us stay outside. Because honestly, what's better than feeling the cold winter air cutting your face, and getting smacked in the hands by a very cruel frisbee. Some might assume very few would take part in these crazy winter practices, but in fact there are over 40 of us out there, every week, including the insane international kids from the Universiteit van Amsterdam's student team: NUTS. (Never underestimate these suckas)

Oh and if you're in the neighborhood and interested, come on by, all are welcome. Bring extra layers!
