Anchorage Ultimate Summer League

Each summer Anchorage Ultimate hosts a recreational ultimate frisbee league. The league is designed for players of all abilities (age 16 & up), from experienced club-level players to people who have never thrown a disc before. Our goal is to provide a casual but structured platform where newer players can play with and learn from more experienced players while meeting new people and, most importantly, having fun! More information and registration will be posted here soon.

*** Mondays: Park Strip (10th & G) at 6pm. Games start at 6:30.***

Like last year, we are doing two sessions of summer league. It helped with attendance, team making, maximized learning, meeting new people and playing quality ultimate.

Session I (4 weeks): June 3-24

Session II (5 weeks): July 8 - Aug. 5

* 4th of July week - no league, Session II teams will be made

Session I - Geared a bit more toward learning to play. If you know new, newish, tentative but interested players please encourage them to sign up for this 4 week session. We also need experienced players to register, play and help coach this session, so please register or reach out if you have questions or want to get involved. We're also asking players to try hard to commit to these 4 weeks if they register so that we can make more smaller teams to maximize playing time. Cost for this session will cover field rentals, insurance and BBQ. No jerseys are provided. Games will be played light vs. dark. We will accept weekly drop-in players as well on an as needed basis if you can't commit to all weeks.

You have the option to purchase an Alaska Ultimate reversible tank during registration for $25.

Session II - Time to get more serious and play some ultimate. Teams will be made by captains, possibly a partial draft. Newer players who have either played Session I or have some pick-up experience are definitely encouraged to play this session as well. Scores will be kept, teams ranked with play-offs at the end. Teams will get a stipend to come up with jerseys/costumes. Also, if your summer plans have evolved and you won’t be around Monday nights, you will have until July 5 to let us know/cancel your registration. Again, we hope this flexibility will help with attendance.

Important registration info

We are using Ultimate Central again this summer for our league registration. If you played summer league with us since 2019 or have registered for tournaments other places you likely have an account with them, if not you will need to create a user name and password to register. Please contact Lyra if you have any problems or questions during the registration process. 

Session I costs $25, Session II, $55. Players registered for both session receive $10 discount ($70 for both). You do need to enter ALL your information twice if signing up for both sessions. You do NOT have to register for both sessions at once, however. You can wait to register for Session II until later and still get the discount. During registration you can order a reversible tank as an add on option (specify size and choose between 3 color options).

Summer League Info

Each summer Anchorage Ultimate hosts a recreational ultimate frisbee league. The league is designed for players of all abilities, from experienced club-level players to people who have never thrown a disc before. Our goal is to provide a casual but structured platform where newer players can play with and learn from more experienced players while meeting new people and, most importantly, having fun!

Our games are played in accordance with USA Ultimate's Rules of Ultimate, 11th edition, with a few exceptions. The league is sanctioned by USA Ultimate.

Games will be played Monday evenings June to August. There will be a clinic on the Wednesday before league begins at 6:30 pm. Each Monday warm-ups will begin at 6 pm, and games will commence at 6:30 pm sharp. Teams take turns hosting a weekly potluck BBQ after the games.

Based on your registration survey responses, teams will be created with an effort to mix experienced players with new players (and thus make teams as even as possible.)
