Watt is Ultimate Frisbee?
If you are looking to keep fit, start a new sport at university, or find a club with great socials and an even better community, you’re in the right place.
Ultimate Frisbee is a sport that you can learn to play in an afternoon, and love for the rest of your life. Whether you’re a high-performance athlete looking for some extra cardio and have a blast doing it, or new to sports and want a fun way to get active and involved, the Ultimate Frisbee Club has something for you.
This is a team sport that can be played with mixed, men’s or women’s teams. The goal is to score as many points as possible by catching the disc in the end-zone (like in American Football). The only catch (apart from the ones you’ll be doing of course) is that you cannot move while in possession of the disc.
Recreational and competitive levels of play are available to all. Ultimate has been running in the Sports Union for multiple years now, and we are open for any student to come along and try the sport regardless of experience.
If you’re interested in giving it a shot, come to our tasters at the start of each semester! Don’t fret if you miss them, just send us a message on Instagram and we’ll be happy to let you try out a session.

Coach
Arjun Kumar
