This year the UBC Women’s Ultimate Team is ranked #1 by USA Ultimate among all North American College teams. The T-Birds have plans to play in some big stadium games at the USAU College Championships May 24-27 in Milwaukee, WI. The stadium game experience is something most ultimate players never have, and gaining experience in this setting is critical for success.
Local organizers are going to help create that experience for UBC by hosting a game vs Traffic at UBC’s Thunderbird Stadium on Saturday, May 18th.
You can support local ultimate, and see some great ultimate as well, by coming out to this game and cheering on your favourite players.
Tickets are available now! Please pass around this message and come out to UBC for what is sure to be a great evening of ultimate.
