Ultimate frisbee (or ultimate disc) 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 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:
We play by USAU's current rule set.
Basics
The theme this season will be "Throwback". We will be calling back to past leagues and frisbee events.
We are not ordering jerseys this season. Instead we are asking that players donate any jerseys from past leagues that they are okay parting with. We will then distribute those to teams to pick from for this season. A lot of folks say they have a bunch of old jerseys in a drawer somewhere so hopefully this is a good way to help the community and help connect us to past frisbee leagues and players.
Schedule
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.
Woman-matching players new to ultimate are guaranteed to be placed on a team with one person they ask for.
We expect that most baggage requests (people requesting to play on the same team) can be accommodated. Every attempt will be made to fill baggage requests, including multiple requests, with priority to new players and woman-matching players.
For 16 teams, initial player cap is 176 man-matching players, 80 woman-matching players. A wait list will be instituted *before* these caps are met to avoid over-filling or if one side of the registration (man-matching or woman-matching) out-paces the other. If registration switches to a wait list, please, still sign up for league.
Mixed teams will have a man-matching captain and a woman-matching captain.
In addition to picking your team at draft, captaining includes:
$60; includes 8 weeks of games, playoff Saturday that includes food & drinks, and a disc!
If you have already completed and submitted a registration form, but still need to complete payment, please, use the buttons below or on the Confirmation/Pay page. Note: Payment made without filling out the registration form will not count as a registration.
Fall League 2025 Registration / Wait List
As of 9/8/25, 11:30 – Man-matching player registrations will go to the Wait List. Man-matching players, please, DO NOT PAY at this time. A VOTS representative will contact you if you've been added to the draft roster and instruct you to pay.
▸ Why is there a Wait List? Will I still get to play? (click for more info)
We've started the Wait List for man-matching players (MMPs) because the rate of sign-ups for MMPs has far out-stripped that of woman-matching players (WMPs). Since this is a mixed league, we need the proper ratio MMPs and WMPs. When more WMPs sign up, more MMPs will be added to league. The league director will make every effort to include as many MMPs possible.
