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:
Teams
Location & Schedule
Update, 8/23: The lower than usual league registration has led to some changes in the schedule. Games will now start at least one week LATER than originally announced. Some or all teams will start play the week of Sept 12/14. All teams will definately be playing by the week of Sept 19/21. Additionally, each team will have one week in which they play a game on both Tues and Thurs, and teams may have a second game on their opposite night.
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.
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.
For 16 teams: Initial player cap 176 men, 80 women. A wait list will be instituted *before* these caps are met.
League may be expanded based on registration numbers. If there is a wait list, please do not hesitate to signup. You will be contacted if the league expands and you're added to the draft roster.
Again, a wait list will be put into place *before* these caps are met to avoid over-filling.
Registration closes Monday, August 14th, 11:59pm
The fee for league registration is $56. Fall League will include a jersey in your team's color and a disc.
