Masters Ultimate

A Lifelong Sport

The masters division represents the ideal blend of community and competition. Whether you’re recently retired from the club division, transitioning away from the commitment required to play elite-level ultimate, or simply looking to have fun and reconnect with old teammates and opponents, the masters division offers a spirited and competitive outlet across three age-restricted categories – masters, grand masters and great grand masters. Lace up your cleats (or kick off your sandals) and grab a disc. It’s time to get the band back together and play some ultimate. USA Ultimate has regional and national playing opportunities on grass or the beach.

Masters

Great Grand Masters

The great grandmasters division caters to the oldest generation of ultimate players – the original founders and icons of the sport who blazed the trail ahead of today’s athletes. Here, men age 48+ and women age 45+ prove age is just a number when it comes to playing the sport they love.
