Ultimate Frisbee Club is a great way to get into the game of ultimate frisbee. They meet in the Lilly Courtyard at the start of club meetings, and then once everyone has arrived, they move to the fields and scrimmage. The new club is run by juniors Ryan Shiroma, Jesse Wussler, Juan Miguel Adams and Allan Wang.

The club aims to be a great place to learn how to play ultimate frisbee by providing a stress-free environment. “Our club is a lot more casual,” Wussler said. “I feel like [ultimate is] a very good, spirited game.”

Shiroma believes that it is a great place for beginners to learn the rules of ultimate. “We get [them] on the team, and then we kind of lead by example,” he said. “We run down the rules first and then we show them… [Ultimate is] a pretty easy game.”

Before this year, the ultimate frisbee club team –different from the school club, which meets at designated club times during the school day– was run by the same group of people for the last few years. However, now that several of these key leaders have graduated, somebody new needed to pick up the reins. Wussler, Shiroma, Adams and Wang, who also play on the club team, decided that a new school club would be a good way to keep their skills up and maybe get some new people to join the club team.

Rather than being a club whose main priority is getting their participants involved in the official club team, their goal is to help people learn the sport and have fun. Nevertheless, club team captains Shiroma and Adams, are still offering captain’s practices for those who wish to get involved in competitive ultimate frisbee. The official ultimate frisbee season will begin in the spring, and they hope that many players from the club will participate.
