Our youth club programs have always strived to provide players with a competitive place to play ultimate in an environment that emphasizes respect, fair play, dedication and teamwork.

A typical season usually involves tryouts attended by hundreds of young players, multiple teams of varying competitive levels, fun and spirited local tournaments, competition at Provincial and National Championships, and the opportunity to meet new friends while growing as players.

Due to COVID-19, the clubs’ coordinating teams have had to adapt. Misfit and Reign’s 2020 season started in July and is running through early September. Interested players applied online, and the coordinators and coaches created practices composed of drills, strength and endurance training, and athletic performance discussions that adhered to provincial Return to Sport policies.

“This is a challenging time for youth and sports in general, with school events athletic and non-athletic cancelled,” said Alex Lam, Misfit’s lead coordinator. “We're glad to be able to get players training in a competitive environment with safety at the forefront of our mind. While it won't be the same as the typical summer season, we're hoping that players are still able to learn and challenge themselves while looking forward to future events and playing opportunities.”

The VUL runs three youth club programs:

• Misfit Ultimate based in Vancouver
• Reign Ultimate based in Richmond
• Vortex Ultimate based in Surrey/Burnaby

For more about each of these programs, visit our Youth Club Teams page.

One of the reasons we love Vancouver is because of its mild climate - we can continue to enjoy our favourite sport throughout the year.

It's time to get creative...

Besides throwing a disc during a game, or tossing with friends in a field, what other ways can you use a disc to stay active and keep fit? What can you do with a disc on your own or with household members indoors or in your yard?

Perhaps you can:
