The Oakley School Ultimate Frisbee Team returned from the Utah State Tournament with the ultimate prize: a championship. Battling fatigue, the weather and schools with more than 15 times the enrollment, Oakley came out on top. A grueling five game schedule on Saturday, May 30th ended with Oakley emerging victorious.

"They gave it their all, everything they had and more," remarked Coach Greg D'Eloia of the coed team's outstanding performance.

The team nicknamed the "Swine Crew" as a play on the recent Swine Flu outbreak, was comprised of 17 Oakley School students.

Oakley employs an innovative approach to working with adolescents, one that focuses on structure not restriction, and relationships fostered through a multidisciplinary approach.

By offering students real-world options and opportunities, Oakley teaches them to learn from their choices. Many of the kids on the team had never played the sport competitively, yet were proud to hoist the trophy high.

"It is these types of experiences that make Oakley unique," said Executive Director, James Meyer. "Our kids can do anything when given support, guidance and a chance."
