Hello WUL Community,

Happy New Year! Throughout the last couple months, folks across all seven teams have been consistently at work to prepare for the 2025 season. 

Early signing announcements are in full swing. Among the many highly skilled players already announced are all 4 WUL Player of the Year Award Winners from 2024. Abby Thorpe (MVP), Ari Nelson (Offensive Player of the Year), Dena Elimelech (Defensive Player of the Year), and Abbie Davis (Breakout Player of the Year) are all committed to return to their teams again this season. Let’s gooooo!

Full team rosters will be dropping in the next few weeks, leading up to the kick-off of our annual Be A Megafan campaign on Tuesday, January 14th to Friday, January 17th. Set a calendar reminder because this is our biggest revenue event of the year. It helps fund both your favorite teams and Western Ultimate League operations for the 2025 season. 

This year we will have our ultra limited edition jerseys — only 8 each player! — and a special new alternate item to be revealed on January 14th

Popular player jerseys go FAST, so order yours early. These items are only available until the 4 day campaign ends. Around 60% of each jersey sale during the campaign goes directly to your favorite team; a phenomenal amount with additional funds going to the league. A big shoutout to our official jersey sponsor, Breakmark, for partnering with us to make this campaign happen every year. Check out the WUL newsletter and social media for more details and surprises to come.

It's been a busy few months and we cannot wait to celebrate five years (!!!) together in January. So much work, passion, and joy has gone into establishing this professional league for women and non-binary players over the last five years. We are looking forward to continuing to build together with every one of you in 2025. We're so glad you're here. 

In community,
