Covenant Ultimate strives to involve students in the sport of Ultimate, which has been defined by the Ultimate Players Association (UPA) board as a "player defined and controlled non-contact team sport played with a flying disc on a playing surface with end zones in which all actions are governed by the 'Spirit of the Game.'" As an official UPA rule of sportsmanship and respect which governs the playing of Ultimate, "Spirit of the Game" closely parallels our objectives which are to: (1) Demonstrate God and His love to other teams through attitude and sportsmanship, (2) Become proficient at the sport of Ultimate, and (3) Build strong relationships between players. We encourage all students to join even if they have never played Ultimate before or don't feel athletic enough because almost anyone can learn to play Ultimate regardless of athletic ability or previous experience.

President: David Inouye

Faculty Advisor: Dr. Jeff Dryden
