Get Involved
There are non-playing ways to be involved with ultimate in NYC!
NYC ultimate is a community, and we rely on each other to help sustain it. There are so many ways to be a part of this community for those who want to do more than play, who want to do things other than play, or who don't play anymore but want to continue to continue to be a part of NYC ultimate. We so greatly appreciate those who give back to the community in this way.
We highly recommend signing up for the DiscNY Newsletter to stay current on happenings in the community! We also post regularly on our socials and in our Slack space. Links to all of these communication options are in the sidebar.
Below are the most regular opportunities for involvement in DiscNY programming. If you want to be involved in ways other than what's listed on this page, please reach out to and we'd be happy to chat with you!
Volunteering

Coaching
Become certified to coach a team or lead a program!
Coaches are the backbone of any ultimate team from the youth level to the club level to the professional level. We consider coaches to be some of the most important folks in any ultimate community, because they're shaping the current generation and next generation of frisbee players. We also require all of our coaches to become foundational or certified coaches through USA Ultimate's Coaching Development Program (CDP).
We are committed to supporting and investing in our coaches through training, mentorship, development, and recognition and appreciation for everything our coaches do for our youth athletes and community. Ultimately, we strive to create a network of New York City coaches whose passion for ultimate translates into the growth and development of each and every player in our youth programs.
To that end, we help financially support volunteers and others in the community who want to become foundational or certified coaches!
