Ultimate Frisbee is a high energy, non-contact team sport. 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) with two primary goals in mind:
This A/B Winter League is a bit of an experiment for VOTS. With the expansion of Ultimate as a sport and VOTS as a group, the skill distribution among our players has become, perhaps, too wide for everyone who wants to play to have a place in league. We're going to try something that many other vibrant Ultimate communities do on a regular basis.
The A/B Winter League will be broken into two division:
Games for both divisions will take place at the same venue and same time, but teams will not play across divisions. There will be finals and a championship game (at the same venue, at the same time) for both divisions.
Details specific to this league:
Experience will be required in A Division.
For B Division, Absolutely not! We'll teach new players basic throws as well as the rules and strategies of ultimate throughout the season.
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:

You will need to bring:
As per General League Policies:
No! All players sign up as individuals and will be drafted on to a team within their appropriate division.
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 or choose a same night as preference.
Initial play cap: 120 men, 80 women. This will be evaluated and likely extended based on registration numbers. A wait list will be instituted *before* these caps are met to avoid over-filling the league. Registration closes January 13th.
The fee for league registration is $14. A/B Winter League will NOT include a shirt or discs.
Registration closes on January 13th, 11:59pm; please remit payment by this date. If you have problems using PayPal, please email Katherine at webmaster@vots.org. If we do not have a payment from you, or have not heard from you concerning payment, by January 13th, a registrant on the wait list will be contacted.
If you have already completed and submitted a registration form, but still need to complete payment, please, use the button below or on the Comfirmation/Pay page. Note: Payment made without filling out the registration form will not count as a registration.
