Our Crowdfunding Groups
Although this project has ended, if you would still like to make a donation to support Pitt Women's Ultimate Frisbee, you may always do so here.
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 composed of 22 dedicated, enthusiastic, intelligent, hard-working athletes who love to compete at the highest level! We come from all over the country, and work hard to represent Pitt well.
Our Project
Every spring, we compete in four to six tournaments. This year we will be attending Queen City Tune Up in South Carolina, Commonwealth Cup in Virginia, Northwest Challenge in Seattle, Washington and The Series. The first three tournaments allow us to display our talents and ability as well as secure our ranking among the College Division. The Series is comprised of Sectionals, Regionals, and finally, Nationals. In order to compete at Nationals, our team must place first or second in the Regional tournament near the end of April. Danger is located in the Ohio Valley Region, and for the past ten years we have placed within the top three teams of this region.
Last year, we achieved our goal to represent Pitt at College Nationals. Danger won the Ohio Valley region in the first bid to go to Nationals in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We hope to continue the program’s momentum by earning a bid at Regionals this year and once again represent Pitt at College Nationals, which will be held in Mason, Ohio.
But first, we need your help to get us through the regular 2023 spring season!
How You Can Help
Danger competed in two tournaments in the fall: a first place finish at North Coast and a third place finish at Blue Ridge, which has us hungry for more wins this spring!
We are asking for your gracious support to help our team be victorious. We are beyond grateful for any donation given, which will help the team cover a variety of costs such as:

The backhand is the first throw you learn. It may seem simple, but it is one of the most important throws a player can master. Your donation of $25 helps fill up cars with gas on the way to our tournaments on the East Coast.
The flick throw is usually the second throw a player learns. Once mastered, it allows players to execute trickier throws, and more successfully play against the defense. Your donation of $50 will cover the cost of a hotel room for one night.
Lefty backhand is a clever way to trip up the mark and get off those quick give-and-goes. Like the lefty backhand, $75 is a great way to give so that a player can go to Nationals.
A scoober is an upside down throw from across the chest. This is used by experienced throwers. Your donation of $100 partially pays for a bid fee for a tournament.
The hammer - a favorite of co-coach Annelise Peters - 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 $250 will cover the cost of gas for all of our cars 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. $500 will pay for the team to attend a tournament like Northwest Challenge in Seattle.
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. A gift of $1,000 pays for two flights for cross country tournaments or an entire team hotel stay.
