Who We Are:
Known to our friends and families as Danger, we are the University of Pittsburgh’s Women’s Club Ultimate Team. Our team is comprised of 35 dedicated, enthusiastic, intelligent, hard-working athletes who love to play ultimate! We come from all over the country, and work hard to represent Pitt well.
Last year, our season was cut short by Covid-19, so this year we have two Series: one in the fall and one in the spring. Previously Danger has achieved a bid to nationals to represent Pitt in Austin, Texas! We hope to continue the program’s momentum by earning a bid at Regionals in order to represent Pitt at College Nationals, which will be held in Norco, California this year.
We need your help to get us through The Series.
Danger has already competed in two tournaments this season: North Coast in Ohio and Sectionals in Pennsylvania. Danger will be competing in three tournaments in the spring: Queen City Tune Up in North Carolina, Commonwealth Cup in Virginia, and Northwest Challenge in Seattle. We are asking for your gracious support to help our team on our road through the Series in the Fal and the Spring. We are beyond grateful for any donation given, which will help the team cover a variety of costs such as:
Be sure to watch our video, check us out on our new website https://danger-ultimate.wixsite.com/pittultimatew, or follow us on Twitter (@PittUltimateW), Facebook (Pitt Women's Ultimate), and Instagram (@pittultimatew) to see what our team is all about!
Thank you and H2P!

The backhand is the throw you learn first. It may seem simple, but it is one of the most important throws a player can master. Your donation of $25 helps fill up two cars with gas on the way to our tournaments.
The flick throw is usually the second throw a player learns. Once mastered, it allows players to throw trickier throws, and more successfully play against the defense. Your donation of $50 will cover the cost of a hotel room for one night.
A scoober is an upside down throw from across the chest. This is used by experienced throwers. It helps us throw through zone defense just like your donation helps pay for the registration fee for one player at Nationals.
The hammer is an inverted over-the-head-throw. It is a tricky throw, but also one of the most fulfilling feelings upon completion. Your donation of $100 partially pays for a bid fee for a tournament.
Though not a type of throw, a layout D is one of the most exciting and important defensive moves a player can make on the field. Your donation of $250 will cover the cost of gas for all of our cars for a tournament.
A greatest is THE ultimate play in a game - it is when a player is in the air and catches the disc out of bounds, but manages to throw the disc back in bounds before hitting the grass. Another player is then there in the end zone to catch the disc for the score. $500 will pay for the team to attend a tournament.
