Interested in playing league?
League in Indianapolis runs through the Indiana Ultimate Foundation (IUF). League is the middle path: more structured than pickup, a team that's yours all season, filled with players at every experience level.
Fall League
Bring your own team. Already have a squad? This is your season — rosters come in set. Don't have a team? There's a free agent team for anyone who wants to participate without a team, or who is looking to join one.
Winter League
Draft league, played indoors through the cold months — and a perfect opportunity if you're new. Jump on a team, learn the sport, and meet new people, all in one season.
Summer League
Draft league, played outdoors on summer evenings — a great opportunity to play with new and veteran players.
Registration windows open ahead of each season and are announced across social media platforms.
Looking to play club?
Club is where pickup players become tournament players. Indy-area teams hold tryouts each spring, practice through the summer, and compete in the USA Ultimate club series in the fall. Every team has a different personality — competitive ceiling, practice load, and vibe. Get to know each team to find the right fit for you.
Women's Division
Indianapolis Rogue
Indy's women's club team, competing in the Great Lakes region and ranked among the top 25 women's club teams in the country in recent USA Ultimate power rankings.

FAQs
I never played, where is a good place to start?
Pickup is the perfect place to start. Just show up ready to learn — experienced players will happily teach you the basic throws and rules as you go. Ultimate is built around sportsmanship and community, so first-timers are genuinely welcome at every weekly game.
What's the difference between league and club?
League (through the Indiana Ultimate Foundation) is a season with drafted, balanced teams — structured games, lower pressure, and you compete against local players. Club teams hold tryouts, practice together, and travel to tournaments in the USA Ultimate series, competing against players from across the US. Many players do both.
When do the pro teams play?
Both the AlleyCats (UFA) and Indy Red (PUL) play spring-to-summer seasons, roughly April through July, with home games in Indianapolis — the AlleyCats play at Kuntz Stadium, and Indy Red plays at Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School. Schedules and tickets are on each team's site, linked in the pro teams section above.
Are there options for kids?
Yes — free youth clinics run with the AlleyCats and the YMCA, including Wednesday clinics at Baxter YMCA. Clinic dates are posted in the community hub.
What are the rules of Ultimate Frisbee?
Two teams of seven play on a field with end zones. Teams advance the disc by passing it from player to player — you can't run with it — and the thrower has 10 seconds (the stall count) to throw before possession changes. A point is scored by catching the disc in the opponent's end zone. There are no referees: players call their own fouls and settle disputes on the field, guided by Spirit of the Game.
Do I need cleats to play pickup?
No — cleats are optional for pickup, but highly recommended once you step up to league, club, or pro play.
