What is Ultimate frisbee? Ultimate (also called Ultimate frisbee) is a fast-paced team sport played with a flying disc on a large field. Two teams compete to catch the disc in the opposing end zone. It’s a non-contact sport that emphasizes sportsmanship, and no experience is needed to get started.
What is Eastside Ultimate? Eastside Ultimate is a youth organization that runs Ultimate frisbee programs for elementary, middle, and high school students on the Eastside of Seattle. Most of our players come from Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Renton, Bothell, Woodinville, and Issaquah, though we welcome players from other areas too.
Does my child need experience to join? No experience is required. All of our programs welcome beginners. If your player wants extra preparation before joining a team, we recommend attending an Eastside Ultimate or DiscNW camp or clinic first.
Where do practices and games take place? Practices are typically held on weeknights in Redmond. Games are usually on weekends at fields in Seattle. Clinics run on weekends for four to six weeks, also in Redmond.
How much does it cost? Costs vary by season. Financial aid is available, and cost is never a barrier to participation — please reach out if you need assistance.
What happens when I fill out one of your forms? Signing up adds your player and family to our mailing list so we can send you information relevant to your player’s grade level. It does not obligate your player to joining any team or program.
