So what is Ultimate Frisbee anyway?  

Built on speed, agility, endurance, and toughness, ultimate is the fastest and most intense club sport offered at the college level.  Played on a football field, a team of 7 players advance a disc up the field against the opponent’s defense, passing to teammates to score a goal in the opponent’s endzone.

Wait...Ultimate Frisbee is a club sport?

You better believe it is.  Just like other club sports, we represent ASU at tournaments all over the country.  When we’re not traveling, we practice three times a week doing drills, scrimmaging, and conditioning.  Our club is one of 700 college ultimate teams across the country that compete for a national championship in the spring.

And here’s something to wrap your brain around:  According to the New York Times, ultimate is the fastest growing sport in America (suck it lacrosse).  In fact, more people play competitive ultimate than rugby and lacrosse...COMBINED!

But don’t you play barefoot and stuff like that?

Seriously?  And no, we play in cleats.  Just like football players don’t play in leather helmets anymore, ultimate has come a long long way from its hippie roots.  Nowadays, ultimate is hands down the fastest, most athletic sport on grass.  The average player sprints over 2 miles in a single game.  This ain’t frisbee golf...

Sounds cool...but I’ve never played.  What if I suck?

Can’t throw a disc to save your life?  It doesn’t matter- if you can run hard and play with intensity, you can contribute from day 1.  Believe it or not, throwing is only 10% of the game.  Almost all of our current players had never touched a disc before they came to college, and they will all tell you how easy a sport it is to pick up.  Whether you've never touched a frisbee before, or you just won junior nationals with your high school- there’s a spot for you. We'll start with the basics, teaching throwing, cutting, and basic offense and defense and go from there.

Why does it burn when I pee?

Umm I don’t know dude you should probably get that checked out.

Are there tryouts? 

Don’t worry about tryouts or cuts in the fall. Everyone is welcome to come out to practice during the fall semester, so bring your friends and give it a try.  When the spring semester rolls around, our practices will unfortunately be closed and we will not be accepting players who did not play with us in the fall.  We will be splitting into A and B teams in the spring but there are no cuts.

Is ultimate coed?

No.  ASU has a men’s and a women’s ultimate team.  The women’s team is called Caliente.  For more info on them, check out their website at www.CalienteUltimate.com

We practice Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights on the SRC Fields from 9-10:30pm.  Check out the Practice Times page for more info.
