Goals of the Team:
The purpose of the Lane Tech Ultimate Frisbee Team is to grow as Ultimate players, teammates, compete at tournaments, and to advance the spirit of the game. This is a competitive team that will participate in practices, league games, and tournaments, but we will also practice good sportsmanship and be supportive and good teammates. We want to win when we play, but also be silly and enjoy our teammates and opponents at the same time.
Practices:
Practices will be on Tuesday and Thursdays at Clark Park from 3:30-5:30. We will work on skills, including throwing, cutting, and offensive and defensive strategy. Practices will always conclude in a some sort of game, depending on numbers each day.

Costs:
Spring Season Dues: $50, which covers the cost of tournament fees listed above.
USAU Membership: $45, this covers all accident and liability insurance for sanctioned events and provides eligibility to compete in all levels of Ultimate for the rest of 2026 (membership must be purchased each year).
Jerseys: $75 for a set. The sets will be good for each year, so buying one set will get you through all years you are on the team, but you are always able to buy extras. This can be purchased DIRECTLY through our store link.
To play in the State Tournament, then you must have a team jersey (shorts are optional).
Dues are important so that we can compete and travel. We try to keep the costs to a minimum, but there are expenses throughout the season. If you feel that you would like to contribute more than the $30, please do so at checkout in the store.
At no point do we want individuals to not play due to money, so if you are on free and reduced lunch, or you do not feel that you can afford the dues, then you can fill out the scholarship form. Ultimate is a sport for everyone!
