It combines elements of many different sports including soccer, basketball, and football. Ultimate is played on a rectangular shaped field with end zones shaped like football end zones. Each team consists of seven players. The disc is passed from teammate to teammate until somebody catches the disc in the end zone for a score. The Valley of the Sun Ultimate Association (VOTS) organizes adult leagues (18 and up, ages 16-17 with parental waiver) in the spring and Spring with two primary goals:
How is league structured?
Do I need to know how to play?Absolutely not! We teach all new players basic throws as well as the rules and strategies of ultimate throughout the season. As a new player, you will be placed on a team with moderate to experienced players who will show you the ropes and teach you the game. Is there any place to play before league starts?Any event on VOTS calendar labeled 'Open' is open to all players of all levels. You can also get practice/scrimmage announcements by joining the VOTS Players email list by email or by filling in the field on the left side of the VOTS webpage. If you're a Facebook user, DISCepticons provides a comprehensive run-down of open games across the Valley. What do I need to play?You will need to bring:
Anything else?As per General League Policies
Spring 2014 League RegistrationDo I need to have a team to sign up?No! All players sign up as individuals and are placed on teams which even out the number of beginner, intermediate, and advanced players per team. Can I play on the same team as my friends?A new player can sign up to be "baggage" with another player. The concept of baggage is designed solely to introduce brand NEW PLAYERS to the sport by allowing them play on a team with someone they know. You will have the opportunity to list the person you are bagging with on the registration form. (One only, please.) Baggage is NOT intended to ensure that couples & carpoolers get to play together. If couples/carpoolers wish to play together, you will have the option to explain the situation on the registration form. Captains will see your note during the draft and attempt (but not guarantee) to pick you on the same team. Baggage approvals will be left to the discretion of the league director. While we try to accommodate preferences, we reserve the right to refuse baggage requests. Other options for couples/carpoolers: captain together. What is the player cap and the wait list?Initial player cap: 172 men & 65 women.
