Women’s Soccer

in intercollegiate matches and tournaments while maintaining a primary focus on academic
endeavors. While our official season is in autumn, we play just as often in the spring. We have
no coach; the team is captain led and we always encourage input from the other members. We
hold tryouts during the first two practices of the season but no one is cut, they are a good way for
us to get to know the girls and how they play. Because of this, everyone is welcome at practices
but game rosters are determined weekly. We like to keep the club flexible and enjoyable for
everyone.

Men’s Ultimate
The UNCW Men's ultimate frisbee club, also known as the Seamen; is a student organization
interested in promoting the game and sportsmanship of ultimate frisbee; along with competing at
a national collegiate level.The Seamen offer two avenues for students to pursue ultimate frisbee.
There is an A-team and a B-team.
The A-team is the more competitive of the two teams. They travel nationwide to weekend
tournaments during the spring semester and have mandatory practice 3-4 times a week
depending on the time of year. They've qualified for nationals 3 years in a row and have recorded
top 10 finishes at each of them. If you want to play ultimate at a high level and pursue a national
championship, this is the team you want to be on.
The B-team is the more relaxed, developmental team between the two. The B-team travels
regionally to weekend tournaments during the spring semester and practices 3 times a week. If
you’re new to ultimate frisbee, or don't want to make the big commitment to A-team this is the
team for you.
Both teams practice and go to tournaments together for the first several months of the school
year (fall semester). After many practices and several tournaments a split will be made and A &
B team will be identified.
Contact: Austin McGrayne – amm4005@uncw.edu
Women’s Ultimate
Ultimate Frisbee is an up and coming sport because of both the nature of the game and the play
itself. Ultimate is a self-officiated sport which means we depend on good spirit and honor during
games. Because we play with a disc as opposed to a ball, ultimate will teach you skills you
would never learn in another sport. Ultimate is fun, and it is a great workout. Seaweed women's
ultimate is a team on and off the field and if you join ultimate you will join a group of wonderful,
athletic, and driven girls, determined to better themselves on and off the field.
