Support Your Child’s Team
Become a coach.
One of the most impactful ways to support your child’s team is to become a coach.
Become a chaperone.
Youth teams competing at USA Ultimate sanctioned and championship events have to include at least one chaperone on their roster. Help out by becoming a chaperone for your child’s team.
Build a cheering section!
Spread the word about games and team activities throughout your community. Encourage others to come out and support the team!
