Tuesday Pickup & Club Practice
The heartbeat of the community. Every Tuesday, players of all stripes meet at Field of Dreams Park for open pickup that doubles as our club team's practice. New to the sport? This is the easiest possible place to start — show up, throw, learn, play. We run drills early for anyone who wants them, then split into games.
Just show up
No registration, no fee. Come as you are.
Bring 2 shirts
One light, one dark, so we can make teams.
Warm up
Optional drills at 6:30 for newer players.
Play
Games run until the sun goes down.

Never played? Here's the whole game.
Ultimate is fast, simple, and self-refereed. If you can run and want to learn to throw, you can play tonight.
Score in the end zone
Catch the disc in the opposing end zone to score a point. Like football, with a frisbee.
No running with it
Once you catch the disc, you stop and pivot. Move it by throwing to teammates.
Turnovers
Drop it, throw it out, or get it blocked — the other team takes over right there.
Spirit of the Game
No refs. Players call their own fouls with honesty and respect. It's the heart of ultimate.
The best way to learn is to show up.
Come to Tuesday pickup — discs and friendly coaching provided.
