Where to Play Ultimate Frisbee in Singapore!
Hello aspiring Ultimate Frisbee Players!
It is me once again! After learning some tips on frisbee throws, I hope that you have gotten a disc and started throwing with a partner and not alone like this poor little guy over here.
It is time for a round of Ultimate Frisbee, or in Singapore terms: "Some Ultimate lehhh.."
There are a few avenues for you to play Ultimate Frisbee in Singapore.
1. Pick ups
No not this kind of pick ups! Pick ups are casual games of Ultimate Frisbee, where anyone can "pick up" the sport, regardless of experience level in Ultimate Frisbee. The people that are playing over at these pickup places are usually friendly and would love to teach you a thing or two about Ultimate Frisbee. Don't be shy! Feel free to ask them anything about the sport! you never know the question you asked might be...
Most importantly, do not worry about making mistakes! Pickups are the best place to learn and improve!
Here are some locations that you could play a game of pickup. I would be doing a featurette on some of them in the later posts so do take note!

2. Ultimate Frisbee Clubs
If you are interested to play competitively and not casually, there are professional Ultimate Frisbee clubs in Singapore that you can join to play! These clubs participate in tournaments, regional and local, during the Ultimate Frisbee season, something which I am going to elaborate soon next time! Here are some of the clubs that are available in Singapore! (Just to name a few)
However, these clubs demand a high level of fitness and commitment, so be sure to join only if you're ready put in the time (weekends/weeknights) and effort (Fitness trainings etc) to pursue this beautiful sport! They would hold trials time to time should you be interested to join their club so do keep a lookout for them!
3. Tournaments/Hats
Besides joining clubs, there are other tournaments that you can participate in. If you are not with a club, you could help teams that are short of players on the day itself to play with them as a 'floater'.
On the other hand, hat tournaments are tournaments where players' name are put in a hat and randomly distributed into teams! This allow people to know other players and play a game not restricted by their teams! There are a few hat tournaments coming up and I would update them on the upcoming events of the blog!
With so many places to play Ultimate Frisbee, what are you waiting for?! Get ready to play the beautiful game!
