The Western Ultimate League was established to advance the sport of ultimate frisbee by showcasing and amplifying women and non-binary athletes. 

Recognizing the privilege that got us here, our mission is to:

  • Increase accessibility,

  • Promote the visibility of underrepresented athletes,

  • Cultivate a culture of inclusion and equity, and

  • Use our influence and platform to broaden the spaces where our sport grows and develops.

OUR STORY

In 2019 a series of professional ultimate showcase games took place along the West coast. In the North, we saw games between Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver, and in the South, we saw games between Los Angeles and San Diego. Players and fans came out in droves to these showcase games - it is with your support we are expanding!

In 2020 we formalized the league and expanded to include 7 teams across the West. Unfortunately, the season was canceled due to the pandemic. However, we used this time to continue to work and prepare our organization for the seasons to come, and finally saw our inaugural season come to fruition in the spring of 2022.

We are excited to return to play in 2023 and bring professional ultimate for women and non-binary athletes to the West!

OUR VALUES

We believe that women and non-binary athletes deserve to be seen and our abilities showcased in the form of professional-level stadium games that are broadcast for the world to see.

We believe in perpetuating ultimate by establishing professional teams as a reality and developing future generations of players through clinics and community outreach.

We believe players of all identities and backgrounds deserve an equal opportunity to be recognized and lauded for our achievements in our sport.

We believe in sustainably and responsibly creating equitable and accessible avenues for women and non-binary athletes to join and participate in our sport.

We believe that being transparent, open, and responsive to criticism is critical to the well-being of our league and that there should always be space to fix our mistakes, grow, and be better.
