More Info: Alameda Ultimate Frisbee welcomes interested players from all over Alameda. Our High School “Dark Meat” team has won 8 state championships and the Middle School “Junior Meat” team became state champions for the first time last season. Both teams are dedicated to providing a co-ed, diverse and welcoming sports experience.

Ultimate combines the best features of soccer, basketball, football and netball into an elegant, yet demanding, non-contact sport played with a flying Frisbee disc. It is considered a swiftly “emerging” sport at the high and middle school levels, especially in California.

Ultimate is the fastest growing college sport and is already played interscholastically at over 500 colleges and universities (there are more colleges with Ultimate teams than football teams). A 2006 study of all private national universities shows that their ranking in Ultimate Frisbee edges out both SATs and grades as a predictor of academic performance and graduation rates!

Self-refereeing and emphasis on “Spirit of the Game” help Ultimate players develop leadership skills, good sportsmanship, all-around athleticism and lifelong friendships.
