- 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 until somebody catches the disc in the end zone
for a score.

- 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.
- Is there anyplace to play before league starts?
Absolutely. Call our
hotline at 602-230-4139. You will hear a recorded message of all the
practices/scrimmages scheduled. Listen for any labeled as 'Open'. These
practices are open to all players.
- What do I need to play?
You will need to bring:
- Non-metal cleats (or
tennis shoes if you don't have cleats)
- A white and dark shirt (a team shirt will be provided for league
only)
- Water (you'll get thirsty)
- Do players socialize?
Heck Yes!! Post game
festivities will take place at Old Chicago Pasta and Pizza (and
Beer). In the past, the crowd at Old Chicago has been large and fun.
- 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 police complaints regarding dogs running loose at
VOTS events.
