ND Ultimate FAQ

Interested in playing in ultimate? Not sure exactly what ultimate is? Well, this will hopefully answer these (and any other questions you may have).

What’s ND Ultimate?

 Ultimate is a club sport at Notre Dame. The teams represent the University at intercollegiate competitions around the country. These competitions are regulated by USA Ultimate. You can find out more about them at http://www.usaultimate.org/

Is ND ultimate co-ed?

 At Notre Dame, men and women compete on separate teams. Notre Dame has four different ultimate teams: women’s A and B teams and men’s A and B teams. Although they play on different teams, the men and women of ND ultimate travel together to tournaments and hang out outside of practices.

How competitive are the teams? Are you any good?

 ND Ultimate has a long history of success. Since being founded in 1991, the A teams have appeared at regional and national levels. However, if you’re looking for a more relaxed atmosphere, you might want to consider the B teams. While still maintaining competitive play, the B teams enjoy a much more relaxed, fun atmosphere.

Wow, what if I suck?

 You probably don’t. ND ultimate welcomes everyone to come out to practice even if you’ve never heard of the sport; the team will gladly teach you the fundamentals of the game. So come out to practice and even bring a friend (or five).

Sweet! I’m sold! When are practices? And where are practices?

 The men’s teams will practice Tuesday and Thursday from 5-7. (With first practice Wed 8/31 from 5-7pm, off date we know but we wanted to get the ball rolling sooner rather than later)

The women’s teams will practice Monday and Thursday from 5-7. (With first practice Monday 9/5 from 5-7pm)

*ALL PRACTICES ARE HELD AT STEPAN FIELDS

Sounds great but what if I miss the first practice?

 No worries! Just contact the captains and come whenever you can.
