University Squads
SB Womxn's
Hi there!
We are the Cambridge University’s women’s and non-binary Ultimate team. Anyone who identifies as a woman or otherwise feels that competing in the women’s division is most appropriate for them can join our squad. You are welcome to attend our training no matter your level of experience, whether you’ve never played or even heard of the game before or you’re a seasoned Ultimate veteran!
We have 1.5 outdoor practices per week (Tuesday evenings and alternating Fridays) which last 2h, with additional skills sessions for beginners on Saturdays, and one 2h indoor session on Thursdays. Outdoor sessions are open to all and indoor sessions will take on an invite-only format, where everyone who registers interest will get a chance to play.
We compete outdoors in the BUCS league with 3 Saturday fixtures spread over Michaelmas and Lent terms, through which we qualify for Nationals (split into divisions 1 and 2). BUCS team selections will be made 2-3 weeks before a tournament.
We also play at the UKU University indoor tournaments where we will be entering two teams and everyone gets to play competitive Ultimate. To compete with us you are required to be a registered student at the University of Cambridge.
Lastly, we want to introduce our mascot, Huck the Lion:
Huck comes to tournaments with us and is passed between our players who are voted the most spirited!
Looking forward to playing with you!
Jordan, Imogen and Sumei
SB Open
Welcome to the Cambridge University Ultimate Open team! Our team usually consists all of men, however there are no gender restrictions so anyone can join!
Most of our team has prior experience playing ultimate, however there is often movement of players from the second team up to the firsts, so we welcome everyone to trial even if you don’t have much or any previous experience playing ultimate.
We take pride in being a very welcoming, extremely positive, and well-spirited team - which is an important aspect of ultimate as it is a self-refereed sport.
We compete in league 1 of the ultimate BUCS league (which takes place on Wednesdays with 2-4 fixtures per term) and we also compete in the UKU university indoor tournaments.
We train once per week, so not very high commitment, and we have socials every term with the rest of the university ultimate teams. Ultimate is a super fun sport which is very beginner friendly but also provides great progression, as many of our players have played for club teams and competed in club nationals. We have even had players compete for GB and other national teams!

We hope to see you soon playing ultimate, the SBO1 captains,
Magnus, Luke, and Zaid!
SB Open 2
We're part of the BUCS Men's Midlands Outdoors Division 2 and take part in University Men's Indoor Tournaments early in the academic year. At our university, it's not just about how well you play Ultimate Frisbee; it's also about showing up for training, being a team player on and off the field, and having fun.
Our goal is to help you improve your Ultimate Frisbee skills as quickly as possible. Winning for us isn't just about the score; it's about making sure everyone enjoys the game and looks forward to coming back for more.
We train once a week on Fridays from 8-10pm at Homerton, and we have BUCS matches on Wednesdays. Every one of our team captains started their Ultimate Frisbee journey at university, and you can too!
Fill in SB Open Expression of Interest form to join. Feel free to message the captains if you have questions.

SB Mixed
In the mixed division, woman-matching and man-matching players play on the same line, half-half. There is no mixed BUCS league, but we play indoor regionals in Michaelmas, as well as Varsity as well as – hopefully – indoor nationals in Lent, and outdoor nationals in late June. Mixed Ultimate adds an additional layer of tactics and skills into the game, and is overall great fun!
The mixed squad is typically formed from the Open and Womxn's teams. Apart from selective indoor trainings once a week, we won't run specific mixed trainings in Michaelmas. Later in the year, we will have squad trainings once a week.
SBX Captain,
Clare
