Ultimate Frisbee

About

Ultimate Frisbee is a sport that combines the nonstop movement and endurance of soccer, the agility of basketball, the aerial passing and team tactics of American Football, and the constant, manic action of hurling.

Ultimate is played 7 a-side outdoors and 5 a-side indoors, on a pitch with scoring zones at either end. What makes Ultimate unique is the importance of the Spirit of the Game, which holds each and every player responsible for fair play and mutual respect.

2018/19 marked UCC Ultimate’s 20th anniversary. Since our founding, we have grown into one of the largest student-run clubs and one of the most successful. We compete in the Men’s, Women’s, and Mixed divisions, with excellent results across all three in the past year - notably our women’s side winning their 7th Outdoor Intervarsities title in a row.

Our success stretches back across the years and has given us a reputation as the team to beat in Ireland. Besides competing at the intervarsity level, our members have the opportunity to play at a national level alongside various clubs all over the country, as well as internationally. Each year members of our club join the ranks of the Irish national teams (Juniors, U24s, Seniors), competing at European and World Championships in places like Germany, Italy and Canada. This club isn’t all work and no play.

A stand-out feature of the club is the openness and accepting nature of its members, especially to first years and new members. Every week there are events organised for everyone to participate in. We pride ourselves on being a club where you are not only guaranteed to learn a new and exciting sport but make new friends for life.

Follow us on social media to keep up with training times and events, and feel free to message the Facebook page or email us if you have any questions. Come join us - we guarantee that it will be the highlight of your time here in college.
