Who We Are
Cal Men’s Ultimate was formed in 1989 as a member of what is now USA Ultimate’s DI College division. Our team competes at high-level tournaments throughout California and across the country. Each college ultimate season culminates in a national tournament featuring the 20 best teams, with representatives from each of 10 regions. In our history we have made Nationals eight times, with three of those appearances coming since 2019. In 2022 we saw our best result since 2010, with a 5th place finish in the country. This past season was expected to be a rebuilding year for us, but we once again cracked the top ten in the nation. The 2023 season came to an end when we were eliminated in bracket play by a one goal loss. Heading into the 2024 season, we are returning 17 core players from last year’s roster of 22. Each of us is equipped with an extra season of experience under our belts, and we are looking to reach even higher successes. This year we will attend two fall pre-season tournaments, four regular season tournaments in the spring, and up to three postseason tournaments culminating in the college championships.

Associated Costs
The costs to play Ultimate can be lot for a college student to bear. Here's a breakdown:
Why Support Us?
In order to compete at the highest level of college ultimate, we must travel across the state and country to face other top opponents in tournaments. These tournaments include expensive travel costs such as airfare, hotels, rental cars, and gas.
Cal Ultimate prides itself on not letting any financial barriers prevent people from being a part of our team. We provide as much financial assistance as possible to players who need it, which can include covering their flight and hotel costs for tournaments.
In order to earn a bid to nationals we need to compete against teams from all over the country. Your donations will make competing at these tournaments accessible for players of all backgrounds on our team. Our players and leadership are more bought in than ever this year and know that with the proper funding, we will make it to Nationals!
