- What is League?
Ultimate Frisbee League is
a co-ed league offered twice a year by Valley of the Sun Ultimate
Association (VOTS). The goal of league is twofold:
- to introduce new
players to the sport of Ultimate
- to provide a place for all levels of players to play in a
competitive team-oriented atmosphere
- What is Ultimate Frisbee?
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 (there is no running/walking with the disc) until somebody catches the disc in the end zone
for a score.

as individuals and are placed on teams in a manner which evens out the
number of beginner, intermediate, and advanced players per team .

Absolutely not! In fact,
you don't even need to know how to throw a disc. We teach all new

placed on a team with other moderate to experienced players who will
show you the ropes and teach you the game.
