Cretin-Derham Hall's Ultimate Frisbee team, Raging Safari, had created an alumni group and for the first time has joined the Twin Cities Ultimate Fall League (TCUL) playing under their new team name, Aging Safari. They play on Sundays at Lake Nokomis in a league with 48 other Ultimate Frisbee teams and the league runs from September through November.

Players from multiple CDH Raging Safari generations are teaming up to keep the Ultimate Frisbee roots from CDH alive and thriving. The team started at CDH in the mid 1990s and has been going strong ever since. Raging Safari won State Championships from 2004 to 2008 and one more in 2010. Many of those players are playing on the fall league team playing together again. The CDH graduates get to meet every week on the field and be teammates once again while sharing their passion for Ultimate Frisbee.

Current CDH teacher and Raging Safari alum Nick Giles'03 had this to say about the team, "Not much has changed for us who are playing, except we are slower, heavier, older, and no longer Raging Safari. Our new team name is Aging Safari and it shows. But, as long as we are out here together and having fun that is all that matters."

All current Raging Safari alumni are welcome to join our Facebook Group and stay updated with what the current high school team is doing as well as any future alumni information.
