State College Ultimate League

Welcome

Welcome to the State College Ultimate League (SCUL). This is a co-ed league for ultimate frisbee where everyone is welcome, especially beginners! SCUL was created to generate interest in the game, to teach folks how the game should be played, and most importantly, to have fun!!! Sign up on our mailing list to get regular updates, or read below for more information.

Rules & Spirit

If you've never played ultimate before, check out The Ultimate Handbook. We are currently following 11th edition rules. An important aspect of ultimate frisbee is spirit. Ultimate’s underlying philosophy is sportsmanship and fair play. Competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of respect between players, adherence to the rules, and the basic joy of play. Games should be played with an attitude of friendly competition, and teams should cheer each other after the games. Below are some links that might inspire your post-game celebrations:

Schedule / Results

Our schedule for the 2013 summer league will be posted as soon as possible. Early games begin promptly at 7, and late games begin at 9. Please show up early to warm up and to be ready to start your game on time. Also, note the location of your fields as we will be in two different locations throughout the year: West Campus Fields and Bigler Fields.

A word about weather: We will play in light rain, but not a driving rainstorm. We will not play if there is lightning in the area!!! Do not take shelter under trees if there is lightning! Go to your cars and await further instructions. In general, we will resume play 15 minutes after lightning has passed the area and/or is has stopped raining hard.
