We want the WUCC (World Ultimate Club Championships) experience to have a positive impact on the whole club with club players invited to WUCC trainings as well as high expectations for the squad to give back to Reading Ultimate.

What’s Ultimate Frisbee:

Ultimate is a growing team sport and we’re playing in the mixed division. The sport is played without referees including on the world stage: it requires the players to know and implement the rules resolving any conflict amicably through Spirit of the Game. It creates a great on pitch atmosphere where teams compete for victory but not at the detriment of basic enjoyment of playing.

Ultimate is a fast paced game where a team passes the disc up the pitch to score in an endzone without the defense intercepting passes. It requires athleticism and great disc skills. It’s a beautiful sport to watch.
