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. Registrations for the 2010 summer league are currently open only to women who want to be on our waiting list (payment must also be submitted, but will not be processed until placed onto a team).
Updates:
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:

2010 SCUL Rosters (username and password required)
Schedule / Results
We will be playing on Thursday nights again with one Monday and Thursday week to compensate for a week where we don't have fields. The early round of games (E) usually begin at 7 pm and the late games (L) begin around 9 pm. Each team will have two doubleheaders (DH) this year so that every team has a chance to play each other.
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.
