Ultimate Chicago is a non-

profit organization of more than 2,000 players

in the greater Chicagoland area. Providing spirited, competitive play for all

skill levels, Ultimate Chicago is dedicated to

the growth of Ultimate as a sport while promoting the Spirit of the Game.

What is Ultimate?

Ultimate is an exciting, non-contact team sport, played by thousands the world over. It mixes the best features of sports

such as Soccer, Basketball and American Football

into an elegantly simple yet fascinating and

demanding game. To compete at the top level, Ultimate players require an unmatched degree of

speed, stamina and agility.

Basic play begins with two teams of seven at the

front of each endzone – similar to American

Football endzones. The

offensive team will receive the disc on a ‘pull’

from the defense to put the disc into play. The

objective is to complete passes to teammates to

score a goal in the endzone. The thrower

cannot run with the disc, but passes to cutting

receivers.

For additional rules of the game, visit www.USAU.org

for further details.

Where can I play?

Ultimate Chicago provides league play in the spring, summer, fall and winter

for Chicago and the surrounding suburbs on

grass, beach and indoors. All leagues are co-ed and

provide a variety of formats that welcome players of various skill

levels.

Spring League – The spring offers three

divisions for Ultimate including an advanced league for seasoned players and a lower

division that lends itself to player development and

instruction. Registration is in February, and play

begins in March.

Summer League –Currently underway, a

draft league allows beginners to compete with advanced players

providing an instructional forum for play.

Registration begins in April, starts in June.

Beach League – Two beach leagues also run

during the summer. One league is specifically for

beginners to introduce the sport of ultimate.

Registration is in May and play begins in June.

Fall League – This BYOT (Bring Your Own Team)

format allows friends and former teammates the

chance to show their stuff together. All players are welcome and if you can’t find a team, we can help!

Registration in August.

Ultimate Chicago’s website also includes

information on pick-up games and learning

clinics.

Ultimate Chicago Sandblast is proud to

support Imerman Angels as our charitable

beneficiary.

Imerman Angels carefully matches and individually pairs a person touched by cancer (a cancer fighter or

survivor) with someone who has fought and

survived the same type of cancer (a Mentor Angel).

Cancer caregivers (spouses, parents,

children and other family and friends of fighters)

also receive 1-on-1 connections with other

caregivers and survivors. These 1-on-1 relationships inspire hope and offer the

chance to ask personal questions and receive support from someone who is uniquely familiar with the experience. The service is absolutely free

and helps anyone touched by any type of cancer, at any cancer stage level, at any age, living anywhere

in the world.

Please visit their booth and you can read more about

them at:

Thank you for your support and donations to this great

cause.
