Female Empowerment
We need more women in Ultimate and you can be the solution! The female population in the Frisbee community is definitely growing, but every additional person makes a difference. Currently the number of men’s or open teams far outnumber the women’s teams spanning from middle school teams all the way up to college and club. There are two professional men’s leagues, the AUDL and MLU, but there are zero professional women’s leagues. Even on a mixed team, there are usually more men than women and they often play with a 4 men to 3 women ratio. There are so many talented women in the community and they deserve to be recognized. The more women who join the community, the greater influence we will have to increase recognition of these amazing women, increase opportunities for women and improve gender equity.
