Mixed Ultimate Frisbee / Southwest England

South Devon Ultimate Frisbee

Plymouth Ultimate is a Mixed (co-ed) Ultimate Frisbee team in, surprise, the port city of Plymouth. We hope to expand Ultimate in our corner of the southwest by combining British spirit with some tech from across the pond. Our roster includes players from both the community and the university. We are competitive, and our goal is to grow a vibrant Ultimate community in Plymouth, South Devon, and their surrounding areas.

Where We Train

Thursdays in Plymouth

We train Thursday afternoons from 6-8pm, at the vibrant multi-purpose Central Park, featuring free parking, a community center, and a well-stocked cafe. We play outdoors when the light allows (Mar-Oct). In the winter, we move indoors to Sir John Hunt Community College, from 8:15-9:30pm. Also at Central Park is a Disc Golf course, a perfect way to warm up your hucks and accuracy before an evening of training!

What's Next?

Team News

We are gearing up for 2026! We have enough people rostered to field a full team for our next outdoor season of Mixed Ultimate. The 2026 tournament schedule is set. See below for details. It includes 1 UKU Tour event, Regionals, and likely Glastonbury, after a nice start with our pre-season friendly with our friends in Totnes (Torque), Exeter, Taunton, and Five Valleys.

As we move into our first competitive season after a multi-year hiatus, our goal is to, in each tournament as well the season as a whole MOVE UP in our national ranking. In other words, our goal is to break seed at each event we enter, and leave behind whatever is our current ranking (this being a rebuild season).

To do this, we're teaming up with our friends in Totnes, Torque, and embracing Ultimate fundamentals. Nothing fancy, nothing innovative. Just building our understanding of the sport, and getting better at executing. At this stage, it's about reducing the number of unforced errors. It's easy to play without any structure or understanding of the game. Like most open-field sports, it's perfectly amenable to just randomly running around.

The good news is that with our full schedule and by combining rosters for training and this club season, both teams will have the opportunity to grow competitively.

Is this "Ultimate Frisbee"?

What is Ultimate?

Ultimate (formerly known as "Ultimate Frisbee") is an open-field sport, much like Association Football, Rugby, or American Football. There are 7 on a side. The field is depicted above. Games are to 15 points. Points begin with one team, standing in their endzone, "pulling" (i.e., throwing) the disc to the other team. Anyone who catches the disc cannot run with the disc (basketball travel rules), and must pass to someone else. Catching a disc in the opponent's endzone (on the opposite end of the pitch) scores a point. Ultimate is unique in that it's:

• Self-refereed, even at the highest levels.
• Has a Mixed (co-ed) division, even at the highest levels.
• Has NO CONTACT, and any contact is ruled a foul.

Yes, sadly, Ultimate is "Ultimate Frisbee". Except that "Frisbee" is a registered trademark of Wham-O Corporation, who made a big stink about protecting their trademark. This created a problem for our sport, so now it's just "Ultimate".

Or even more ridiculously, in some cases, it's known as the sport of "Flying Disc", and "Ultimate" is a discipline within it. Somehow they took a silly name and make it utterly absurd. Looking at you, World Games. Ultimate suffers from having a pretty silly name. At least we've dropped the trademarked bit.

UKU Tour 3, Mixed

The last of 3 Mixed Tour events, and the easiest one to get to. If we only play one tour event this year, I think we should target this one. If it's the only, it's our chance to get a ranking above last place. If not, it's a good chance to test our learning.

Univ. of Southampton, 18-19 Jul 2026

UKU South Regionals, Mixed

The culmination of the outdoor season. The goal is to break seed at the tournament, and see how we're developing as a team in the ultimate test. This is the final and most important competitive event of the season. Save the date!

Glastonbury, 11-13 September 2026

Glastonbury Tournament 26

Glastonbury is a wonderful Mixed tournament to cap off the summer outdoor season. We weren't able to put together a team last year, but we have 8 months to prepare. Come see how much fun Ultimate can be!
