Summer is the best time for ultimate!

There's nothing like running around in the sun chasing plastic, being active and meeting up with old and new friends. So why not join 4500+ players in our most popular season?

New Start Time

This year games are expected to start at 6:30 pm. That means arriving by at least 6:15 pm to cleat up and warm up. As you likely well know, starting games on time has been a problem in VUL Summer League for many years. In recent years, we stopped expecting games to start at 6:00 pm. Our permits start at 6:00, so we told captains to start by 6:15, but many games still started later. This change acknowledges these time constraints. It's not a huge shift, but we want to do what we can to help more people play ultimate and be satisfied with start times. For a full explanation on the start time change, please read our article about it.

2. Beginner Camp

We offer a Summer League Camp for beginners and new players from June- August for players with 2 years experience or less. You'll learn the game from  the ground up through 6 weeks of skills development and then be placed onto teams with other camp participants and play games for 5 weeks, all with the help of a mentor!

3. Regional VUL Leagues

i. New West League. Play 5-on-5 hat closer to home on Thursday evenings. See the New West league page for full details.

ii. Surrey League. This 7-on-7 team league has been running in Surrey for years and joined the VUL family last year. 16+ teams playing in a fun local league. See the Surrey page for more info.
