Learn to Play: Ultimate!

 

What is Learn to Play?LTP

Learn to Play is a USA Ultimate Youth Outreach initiative that partners with organizers across the country to:

  1. Introduce and excite young athletes to play the game of Ultimate
  2. Connect these athletes with quality opportunities to play in their community


Learn to Play events involve a series of clinics or meetings over the course of 4-5 weeks, followed by or attached to a youth, recreational, or school-based league in which kids can put their new skills to practice. The most important part of these events is that they are designed by the local community to best fit the community.

Previous Learn to Play Events

  • Oct - Nov 2011:
    Triangle Youth Ultimate league held 4 2 hour clinics in Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Durham, including a halloween night and an exhibition game by elite club players. Over 60 boys and girls participated in the clinics.
     

  • Winter 2010: Boulder, CO
    The Learn to Play program began in the winter of 2010 as a series of meetings between youth organizers in Boulder, Colorado. Organizers and new players met once a week for four weeks before the youth club season began in the spring of 2010.

In 2011, the Learn to Play Program was launched to identify several pilot communities that met the Learn to Play criteria. These criteria include:

  • A strong desire to introduce the sport of ultimate to new youth athletes
  • A dedicated organizing base committed to the growing youth ultimate
  • An avenue for Learn to Play participants to continue playing ultimate, such as a club or school-based league
