San Francisco Revolver
San Francisco, CA
Revolver was established in the spring of 2006 when Nick Handler, Chris McManus and Marc Weinberger came together to build a new Bay Area ultimate program from scratch. They sought a team where young players could learn from veterans, where lasting friendships can be made and where the goal was to get better in every practice and game – rise.
Although Revolver did not set out to win championships, it quickly became apparent that the program’s focus on young talent, role playing and great spirit had great potential, leading to five national and two world championships over the last decade, all rooted in the team’s core values of intensity, humility and discipline.
