Ultimate Frisbee is a non-contact team sport that is played with a flying disc frisbee. “Ultimate Frisbee is a lost skill and game, and we are looking to bring back its challenging motor skills,” says Cassidee Gardner, a student majoring in Recreation and Sports Management at DSU. Dixie State students who love competition and having fun will enjoy this tournament.

“The community of Ultimate Frisbee is very close,” says Sean, a local of Southern Utah. “[We] love anyone wanting to spread awareness and increase exposure.” This event will be a great opportunity for Dixie State students to connect with the community and learn more about Ultimate Frisbee.
