Learn to Play
Love at First Flight
With an emphasis on kids ages 7-15, USA Ultimate’s Learn to Play program works with local disc sports organizations to introduce and teach ultimate to the next generation of players. Instructional clinics are designed to be flexible and accessible while offering a fun and engaging experience to beginners. The program also connects kids and their families to local playing opportunities and the ultimate community in their area.
