RAD Grant
With a goal of encouraging more people from underrepresented groups to take on leadership roles in their community, this program subsidizes many of the costs associated with becoming a youth or college certified coach for those with financial need. The grant covers:
- A non-player USA Ultimate membership ($25) *
- The cost of the foundational coach test ($20)
- The cost of one certification clinic: youth or college ($45)
* If you need a player membership, the RAD grant will cover the $25 non-player membership, and you can upgrade to a player-level membership.
