Club ultimate frisbee is a great opportunity to continue practicing and improving your ultimate abilities and fitness over the summer. If you are interested in playing on EauZone, we as captains believe that playing club can help achieve that goal. There are three divisions for club frisbee: Women's, Mixed, and Open. For players who are a part of our men's club on campus, we recommend playing Open as that is the division we compete in. Mixed can also be a beneficial experience and should not be counted out of the equation.
One aspect of how summer club works is that teams will often have both practice and rostered players. The practice group involves less traveling but still allows players to improve their skills and play ultimate in the summer. A roster spot will require 3-6 weekends of travel and higher commitment to the team throughout the summer and early fall. Teams also have dues payments to cover the cost of field rental space for practices, bid fees, and lodging at out of town tournaments. Many teams will work with you if you have financial concerns, but expect to pay ~$150 as a practice player and $350-500 as a rostered player (depending on the team and number of tourneys they attend).
This past summer we had members play for various club teams. Many alums also play on club teams after they graduate and want to get their frisbee fill.
Open
UFO - Johnny
DCVIII (608) - Jay
NOMAD - Brett (and Jac), Harvey, Arthur, Owen, Max, Bee Leurq, Connor
Mixed
Ca$h Cow$ - Haakon (retired)
Bird - Nora
Our overall pick for a club in the Twin Cities has to be NOMAD. The numbers that our team brings to NOMAD are already phenomenal and with more practice over the summer each team will be even stronger. Whether you come as a practice player (even just once a week!) or hope to make the roster, NOMAD will provide an environment for growth.
For an open team in Madison, DCVIII is our top pick. Madison has a wider variety of mixed teams to choose from in that area so that would be worth looking further into. Talk to Jay about DCVIII if you're interested.
If you are not in a main city or suburb (Minneapolis or Madison), club may be a lot of commuting for you. If that is the case, you may want to look into local pickup groups in your hometown area.
Below are tryout details for some of the teams we recommend, as well as resources to contact each of those teams' leadership groups.
