Enjoy!
Trending: The American Ultimate Disc League and team New York Empire ! That's right ‘Professional Frisbee' is a big thing and getting bigger. Matthew Stevens, a professional ultimate disc player, for the New York Empire wanted to help his team better reach their potential, so in 2018 he asked his business savvy parents Barbara and Paul Stevens, to come help run his team. They didn't see that coming but they did! Because who says no to their kid? Paul owns a busy real estate construction company in N.Y. and Barbara worked her way up to become the President of a prominant Insurance company with four locations in CT. Paul funds the team and Barbara runs it. (She yells from the stands on game days kinda like Rebecca the team owner in Ted Lasso) The two of them must know what they're doing because the New York Empire won the championship in 2019 and 2022 and are currently one game out of 1st place this year. Even sister Melissa has joined the operation. The team is 53 and 6. They've won two AUDL Championships and have had two 15-0 perfect seasons. Right now they're the number one team in the AUDL. The AUDL is the 'American Ultimate Disc League ' which has 24 teams in US & Canada. Think fast paced football, soccer and ballet combined. More like football in that to score, you have to get the disc to someone in the end zone except a player can't run with the disc, he must pass it. (Impressive to me as the last frisbee I threw is still in someone's bushes.) They travel the country competing, and thousands show up for a fun night out. There are 30 players on the roster and four quarters in the game, 12 minutes each. The team also engages the fans who show up with music and what they call ‘activations'. An activation, said Barbara, is when you bring the crowd onto the field to do somehting, either throw a fisbeee or chase a frisbee, any kind for fun for the kids who attend. They even do things like ball hop games, so if you'relooking for someplace to go to entertain your kids this might be it! Depending on their age they even use some kids as disc runners, letting them run up and down the field getting the discs that go out of bounds and throwing them back to the ref. (Too bad my mother didn't know about this when I was a chubby little kid she might have opted for me to chase frisbees vs sending me to dancing school.) The New York Empire games are very much a fun family atmosphere. The team has even done exibitions at half time for The NY Giants and Minnesota Vikings. Paul and Barbara Stevens would love more people to come out to their home games. Home base is the Joseph F. Fosina Field in New Rochelle, NY. and games take place on Satrurday evenings at 7pm. Captain Lawrence Brewing is their main sponsor and they have a food truck and snacks and a DJ to keep the crowd engaged. Kids under 12 are always free- Adult tickets are $12. Check out their website at theaudl.com/empire to find out more. You can also check out the sport on Audl.TV. Enjoy the fun podcast of my live conversation on The Debbie Nigro Show with Paul & Barbara Stevens owners of New York Empire.

Dan Hilton has your Over/Unders for the East Division Championship betwen the DC Breeze and the New York Empire. The Empire are 12-0 on the season and 2-0 against the Breeze, but DC's Darryl Stanley and his squad is coming off a statement win against the Philadelphia Phoenix to kick off their own championship push.

Dan Hilton has your Over/Unders for Week 13 of the AUDL season for the New York Empire and the Philadelphia Phoenix. While both teams have already clinched a play-off spot, the first for the Phoenix since 2013, the Empire still has an undefeated regular season on the line. Except big plays from the Hot Birds as they host the only team left in the league without a loss.
Dan Hilton has your Over/Unders for Week 11 of the AUDL season for the New York Empire and the Boston Glory. After a 23-19 victory for New York up in Boston, the stakes for both teams have changed a bit. The Empire has locked up the one seed in the east and hosting duties, plus their third straight regular season division crown, but the overall one seed in the play-offs is still on the line. For the Glory, they are mathematically still in the hunt for the three seed, but they must beat the Empire to stay in the fight.
Dan Hilton has your Over/Unders for Week 10 of the AUDL season for the New York Empire and the Montreal Royal. The Empire has already qualified for the postseason, but now the focus shifts to keeping up the intensity and staying healthy. For Montreal, it's all about getting a win by any means necessary and staying in the play-off picture.
Dan Hilton has your Over/Unders for Week 8 of the AUDL season for the New York Empire and the Ottawa Outlaws. New York dismantled Ottawa 30-18 in their first match-up and with the Outlaws having to play Boston on Friday night, it'll be an uphill climb for the Canadians for sure. But if you're New York, you have to make sure not to get caught after taking care of business last week against the DC Breeze.
Dan Hilton has your Over/Unders for Week 7 of the AUDL season for the New York Empire and the DC Breeze. The undefeated Empire host the 3-1 Breeze in a game that could very well decide the division.

The Empire are heading to Canada for the first time since 2019 to meet the Royal and the Outlaws. How will New York look to handle the big arms north of the border?

Dan Hilton has your Over/Unders for Week 3 of the AUDL season for the New York Empire and the Boston Glory. Can the Glory rebound from a disappointing trip to Canada as the Empire look to shake off the sloppy play against the Phoenix?
Dan Hilton has your Over/Unders for Week 2 of the AUDL season for the New York Empire and the Philadelphia Phoenix. Will Philly's blend of youth and experience be able to challenge the Empire defense on a day where weather may be a challenge?

When you feel pain, your brain is trying to tell you something. And a good physiotherapist can help you interpret that message. But pain doesn’t always mean tissue damage, and an elite physio will look at biomechanics as well as any external factors that might impact your pain experience or the recovery process. Erwin Seguia serves as the Cofounder and CEO of Match Fit Performance, a sports performance, rehabilitation and physical therapy practice based in New York City. He is a Board-Certified Physical Therapist, the Sports Director for the New York Empire, and the Secondary Physiotherapist for Gotham Knights Rugby. Erwin is passionate about soccer and enjoys CrossFit and Olympic weightlifting, and as a physio, he has experience with rugby, endurance sports, Ultimate Frisbee, soccer, golf, CrossFit, powerlifting and dance. On this episode of Ali Fitness, Erwin joins us to discuss how Match Fit differs from traditional physical therapy, explaining why the team only uses manual therapy when absolutely necessary. He walks us through the concept of progressive load and describes the way physiotherapy should help athletes move MORE—without aggravating an injury. Listen in as Erwin busts common myths around muscle tightness, manual therapy, and glute activation—and learn about the major role our brain plays in the pain experience!
