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 moderate to experienced 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 until somebody catches the
disc in the end zone for a score.

Do I need to have a team to sign up?
Nope! All players sign up as individuals and are placed
on teams in a manner which evens out the number of beginner, intermediate,
and advanced players per team .

Do I need to know how to play?
Absolutely not! In fact, you don't even need to know how
to throw a disc. We teach all new players the rules and strategies of Ultimate
as well as the basic throws. As a new player, you (along with other new
players) will be placed on a team with other moderate to experienced players
who will show you the ropes and teach you the game.

Anything else?
- Alcohol IS permitted on the field in cups and cans. No glass is allowed.
- Any underage participant in violation of the Arizona alcohol consumption laws or any
adult participant who furnishes alcohol to or purchases alcohol for an underage participant
is subject to immediate suspension from league for the duration of Fall League.
- Under NO circumstances should anybody drive onto the fields. Tempe
has refurbished the fields and they look pretty darned nice. We will get
busted and may lose our rights to reserve fields in the future if anybody
drives on the fields.
- All players are strongly encouraged to leave dogs at home. Please choose
to bring your dogs out on practice nights only. If you do bring your dogs
out, they MUST be tied up. This is in direct response to recent police
complaints regarding dogs running loose at VOTS events.
