The Milwaukee Ultimate Club is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization that seeks to serve the interests of Ultimate Players in the greater Milwaukee area.
We look to promote the growth and development of the sport of Ultimate through the sponsoring of Ultimate-based educational and recreational events, programs, and activities. We will assist in the education and development of youth Ultimate players through clinics, demonstrations; will promote all levels of Ultimate through leagues, teams, and events; promote the participation in outside tournaments and Ultimate activities; and represent the interests of the sport and the players of the sport in the greater Milwaukee area.
Our current areas of focus include:
-
Running leagues in the Milwaukee area
-
Our Annual Cooler Classic Tournament
-
Introducing the sport of Ultimate to youth programs
-
Running Ultimate based Charity events
All revenue generated from our events and activities if not specifically defined as a charity event goes is reinvestment to the Club to help meet our short and long term goals from running or sponsoring youth events to looking for areas we can expand to both in terms of growing the sport of Ultimate and the number of players to searching for additional field sites.
