Ultimate Frisbee at UEA

Aye Aye is a friendly and inclusive club who offers its members the opportunity to play a sport many had not heard of before university. We welcome all members, supporting those who wish to play competitively as well as members looking for a sport to enjoy more socially. We run regular socials throughout the year, both drinking and sober. Ultimate is an exciting, mixed gender, non-contact, team sport. Being a fast-paced game, it demands its players to develop razor-sharp throwing skills and immense stamina and agility. The sport is self-refereed and promotes Spirit Of The Game. Many describe Ultimate as a mix between American Football and Netball, players must throw a disc between teammates and try to catch it in the opposition's end zone, it is the opposition's job to defend and intercept the disc.

Competition Schedule

Beginners tournaments

In the first few weeks of term we send a team to Loughborough beginners tournament, for players who have been playing for 6 months or less, with one experienced player allowed on the team. This is a great opportunity to learn the sport and get to know your teammates. Due to Covid-19 this is unlikely to happen as early as we are used to, but we are hopeful one will occur at a later date.

BUCS

We compete in fixtures on Wednesday afternoons against other Universities. We plan on running an open team this year, meaning the men and women will play together. Last year we finished second in the league.

Indoor regionals and nationals

We compete indoors in the mens, womens and mixed divisions, with the top teams from regionals qualifying for nationals.

Aye Aye Open

We run our own fun tournament right at the Sportspark which other club and university teams attend, this doesn’t count towards any rankings with less emphasis on winning and more on having fun. Teams play in fancy dress, as well as at the LCR.

Sunburn/ Lincoln Spirit Derby

These are fun tournaments put on by other University Ultimate teams which we attend at the end of the year to celebrate exams being over and let our hair down.
