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.
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.
