Ultimate Frisbee Club

About us

Welcome to UCL Ultimate Frisbee Club! Founded in 1997, we cater for players of all abilities, whether you've been playing for 5 years or have never picked up a frisbee in your life. All you need is just a light and a dark-coloured top and some good shoes/cleats to run in. If you've never heard of us before, get the free membership, come along to one of our sessions and just give it a go! We run 3 sessions a week covering all levels of play.

What is Ultimate?

Ultimate is a great sport to pick up if you are looking to continue sports in university but want to try something new. It's a fast growing team sport that is sort of a mix between netball and rugby, only with a frisbee (aka disc). It can be played indoors (5v5s) or outdoors on grass (7v7s).

Simple Rules:
1. You can't move when you have the frisbee, you can only hold it for a certain amount of time, and
2. You score by catching it in the opposing end zone.
3. Non-Contact

Spirit of the Game (SOTG)
Ultimate is built on Spirit of the Game. There are no referees in most matches, so players are trusted to know the rules, make honest calls, treat opponents with respect, and keeping the game safe. We value body control, awareness of other players, and avoiding reckless bids or collisions. Spirit allows Ultimate to remain fiercely competitive while fostering a culture of respect, communication, and positivity.

Are there opportunities to compete?

Yes! If you’re interested in taking your Ultimate more seriously, we have competitive teams across Men’s, Women’s, and Mixed. The UCL Silverbacks regularly compete at BUCS tournaments, both indoors and outdoors, with dedicated sessions led by coaches focusing on skill development, teamwork, tactics, and conditioning.

We’re also connected to the wider UK Ultimate community, occasionally hosting guest coaches from clubs and teams around the country. Whether you’re looking to develop your game, compete at a higher level, or simply see how far you can take Ultimate, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved.

Is there a place for social players?

Absolutely! Ultimate is a great place to stay active, meet people and learn a unique sport! Alongside our regular training sessions, members often organise casual throwing sessions around campus that you can drop into whenever you like to take some time off between lectures.

We’ll also attend beginner-friendly tournaments throughout October and November, giving new players the opportunity to experience Ultimate in a welcoming and supportive environment. For those interested in trying competition without a major commitment, we take part in the London Universities Sports League (LUSL), with matches spread throughout the year that offer a fun, low-pressure introduction to competitive play.

For the most up to date information, be sure to join our WhatsApp Community and follow our Instagram to stay updated with our training schedule and any socials we're holding. We usually hold big socials around Christmas and Chinese New Year, as well as meeting up with our counterparts at other London universities!

What do the different memberships mean?

In order to get involved, you need a membership. The free Taster membership will allow you to take part in any of our tasters, but you'll need to upgrade to one of our paid membership levels to stay with us beyond that.

The Social membership allows you to attend our beginner-friendly social sessions throughout the year, as well as take part in any beginner-focused tournaments we join. We recommend this for players who just want to enjoy the game and have a fun time!
The Competitive membership is for players who have been invited to competitive training and will represent UCL at Regional and National level tournaments. This membership will cover travel and accomodations for BUCS tournaments!
The Visiting / Associate (One Term) membership is for (as the name suggests) visiting or associate students who are only at UCL for one term. This membership allows players to come to trainings (both social and competitive trainings, depending on their level). Students who are at UCL for the full year, including visiting / associate students, are not allowed to purchase this membership and have to get one of the other 3 instead.

If you're not sure which membership to purchase, don't hesitate to get in touch with one of the committee members and they'll help you out. For our affiliate friends who are here for a term, you are also allowed to train with us and play some unofficial tournaments.
