Getting Started for Youth

This guide will help youth players and parents identify their ideal program.

We offer U14, U16, and U19 programs (up to age 18). All players of all skill levels and genders are welcome, including LGBTQ2+ and transgender.

1. Discover why youth love Ultimate

Ultimate is a fast-paced non-contact field sport that, at its core, promotes teamwork, sportsmanship, and inclusivity. Young players are active, develop friendships, learn about fair-play, and work on athletic skills that are transferable to other activities. Read more:

Which program is right for my child?

In general, our U14 (ages 9-13) and U16 (ages 13-15) skills series and day camps are perfect for beginner and intermediate players. Older teens who have played at school or in a club program look to our U19 (ages 15-18) programs to further develop their skills and strategies.

If your child’s skill level doesn’t match their age group, please reach out to us at youth@vul.ca! We will let players join different age groups on a case-by-case basis.

We offer seasonal programs throughout the year. See what is coming up on our Youth Leagues & Camps page.

4. Register!

When you've chosen a program, visit our Registration page to sign up. Parental Consent is required for anyone under the age of 19!

Still have questions? See our Youth FAQ or email youth@vul.ca.
