Ultimate Frisbee comes to the northeast

ULTIMATE Frisbee athletes across Australia are taking part in the Mixed Ultimate Championships at Shepparton's Sports City Precinct over two weekends. The national level event pits the country's top teams against each other for a three day competition with 13 teams from division one playing off from Friday, October 7 and 32 teams from division two the following weekend from Friday, October 14. The tournament is expected to see more than 900 competitors and their support networks stay in Shepparton for the combined three day events. Hosting some of the best Frisbee players in Australia is an exciting new experience for the community said Mayor of Greater Shepparton, Shane Sali. "We are very excited to welcome Australia's top Ultimate Frisbee athletes to Greater Shepparton, the capital of all sporting events," Cr Sali said. "The mixed championships will see the very best male and female competitors using their strength and agility to sprint, leap and throw their way to victory, a lot more thrilling than your average backyard or park game. "Ultimate Frisbee is a growing sport and we are proud to host them." The Mixed Ultimate Championships will be held at Shepparton's Sports City Precinct and free for all spectators to attend. Ultimate has existed in Australia since the 1970s with the Mixed National Championships starting in 1988. The Australian Mixed Ultimate Championships is a national level event that pits the country's top teams against each other in a peak competition across three days of competition. The event runs annually in October and is the focal point of mixed–gender ultimate in Australia. This year the top 13 club teams from around Australia have qualified through State Championships to battle it out for the national title. National selectors will be in attendance and may issue invites to the national selection events being held in Melbourne in November for the Asian Oceanic Ultimate Championships taking place in 2023 and World U24 Ultimate Championships.
