Colorado Springs, Colo. (July 11, 2025)—USA Ultimate, the national governing body for the sport of ultimate in the United States and member of the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee, today introduced DISCover Ultimate Day – a nationwide initiative designed to introduce a new generation of players to the sport of ultimate.
Scheduled for Saturday, September 6th, the series of free, one-hour instructional clinics are intended for middle school-aged kids (10-14) and feature a curriculum that is focused on simple, fun and engaging activities meant to familiarize newcomers to the sport with the basics. Participants will receive an introduction to ultimate, learn some basic skills and drills, and take part in a variety of disc games and small group activities.
DISCover Ultimate Day clinics will be offered in communities throughout the country in partnership with USA Ultimate’s Local Disc Organizations (LDOs) and other organizers. As part of this initial phase, USA Ultimate is currently seeking organizers to offer clinics through a simple, nationwide submission process.
As the experts in their geographic areas, local disc organizations will staff and manage activities in their communities, helping to create and cultivate relationships with new players and families, while USA Ultimate will support their efforts at the national level with programming, targeted marketing and outreach support and more.
“DISCover Ultimate Day will become a nationwide celebration of what makes our sport unique – community, inclusivity and the basic joy of play,” said USA Ultimate Chief Executive Officer Kevin Erlenbach. “It’s a tremendous opportunity for local organizations to introduce new players to the game, build connections and highlight the spirit of ultimate. We’re excited and proud to partner with local leaders to grow the sport and share the values of ultimate with more people in an easy and fun way.
