Ultimate Tournaments

For over 13 years, Zig Zag Ultimate has been running fun, competitive tournaments — more than 20 each year, including indoor events in the winter. Every tournament helps fund our youth programs, from 3rd–8th grade leagues to high school. We had over 500 athletes play this Spring season!

Join us on the field and help support the next generation of Ultimate players!
