Investing in the future of women & girls in Ultimate

This programme is for women & girls of all ages, from 15 upwards.

Whether you’re a young player, university student, adult returning to Ultimate, completely new to the sport, or an experienced player looking for more opportunities to develop and connect with others, you’re welcome.

A grassroots development programme investing in the women & girls’ Ultimate community — not just developing players, but developing the people who will shape the future of the sport.

Open to all female-matching players (FMPs), whatever your experience level. Whether you’re completely new to Ultimate, looking for more opportunities to develop your game, an experienced player who wants to support others, or someone interested in getting involved in coaching, organising or leadership, there’s a place for you here.

This is a UK Ultimate Partner Event, delivered by Youth Ultimate UK.

Community & development

We want this to be a Youth Ultimate UK programme that is shaped by the women and girls involved in it.

There is a huge amount of knowledge, experience and enthusiasm within the existing women’s Ultimate community, and we want to create opportunities for that knowledge and experience to be shared with the developing youth and university scene across the region.

Sessions will be coached by experienced female players from across the Ultimate community, giving participants the chance to learn from and play alongside women with a wealth of knowledge and experience.

But development isn’t just about becoming a better player. We also want to create opportunities for FMPs to support newer players, develop their coaching skills, get involved in organising and take on leadership roles within the sport.

We’ll support players who want to work towards their UK Ultimate Level 1 Coaching Qualification, including practical and in-person support where we can. We’re currently working with UK Ultimate to understand what additional support will be available.

The programme is not intended to replace existing clubs or university teams. It is an additional opportunity to train, meet other players and stay connected to Ultimate through the winter, while bringing different parts of the community together.

We’re also hoping to take a group to UK Ultimate Indoor Qualifiers at Cranford in December. These opportunities will be there for players who want to compete, but the focus of the programme is on training, development and building the community.

Training & cost

We’ll run one three-hour training session in each of Brighton, Guildford and Southampton.

Training will respond to the players attending and could include individual skills, throwing and receiving, cutting, defence, decision-making, game understanding, team concepts and plenty of playing.

We’ll use outdoor venues where possible to keep the programme affordable, with the possibility of moving indoors as we get further into winter.

Students: £6 per session
Adults: £9 per session

Want to be involved?

There are lots of ways to be part of the programme. You might want to come along and play, coach a session, mentor a newer player, help us find venues, support tournament organisation, promote Ultimate to new players, or simply share your ideas and experience.

We’re particularly keen to hear from experienced female players and coaches across the South East who would like to contribute and help develop the women & girls’ Ultimate community.

You don’t need to commit to every session or take on a formal role. Whether you’re completely new to Ultimate or have been playing for years, we’re building this as a Youth Ultimate UK programme with the community, for the community, and we’d love you to be part of it.
