Help us get to Nationals 2025!

Who We Are

Cal Men's Ultimate was formed in 1989 as a member of what is now USA Ultimate's D-I 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 8 regions. 

In our history we have made Nationals nine times, with four of those appearances coming since 2019. In 2022 we saw our best result since 2010, with a 5th place finish in the country. In 2023 and 2024, we made nationals twice more, breaking seed both times. Last year, we came back from a 9-4 deficit to win 11-10 and earn our bid to nationals. 

Our goal is to make nationals for the fifth year in a row! This is dependent on going to competitive tournaments around the country, which is expensive.
Fundraising for yearly costs for travel, financial aid, and tournament fees.
$3,000 for flights to travel tournaments and other travel fees such as rental cars, hotels, and food costs.
~$300 buys a round trip flight for a player to a travel tournament.
$1,400 for financial aid assistance for students in need. This money can go towards uniforms, flights, and hotels for students who cannot afford them.
7 players can be supplemented $200, or about 50% of dues for the season.
$1000 for tournament fees.
Each tournament has a tournament fee of $500, this money will allow us to pay for the two tournaments we go to during the fall pre-season.

Our fundraising goal is to raise $5,000. Money would go to flights to travel tournaments and other travel fees such as rental cars, hotels, and food costs. We ensure that all players who can't afford the costs will be given financial aid and any donations will help a player get to Nationals! 

Cost breakdown per person

• Flights: $600 per person
• Lodging: $350 per person 
• Rental cars & gas: $250 per person
• Bid fees: $250 per person
• Uniforms: $100 per person

All estimates are rough only, and actual expenditures may vary.

Frisbee in not inexpensive, and the costs of these events take a toll on the players' bank accounts. Your donations will greatly aid in making these expenses a lot more affordable for our team and our players. Donate whatever you can, any amount is appreciated!

If we can't reach our goal, then our first priority will be fulfilling financial aid needs. We will still be able to work towards our goal of making nationals!

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! Below is a graphic of our travel schedule from last year's regular season.

You also can have some fun with the donations. We have multiple levels that get you included on the experience of being part of Cal Men's Ultimate!
