UPLA Has Your Back (& front)
If you play Ultimate in Austin, then you've probably been touched by UPLA. No, not touched in that awful peas touching carrots way. More like the gentle touch of a sweaty spring breeze blowing you towards your next pick-up game, league or tournament destination. In short, UPLA makes playing more Ultimate a little bit easier and more accessible for everyone.

Play Ultimate In Mexico This Memorial Day Weekend
by Gary Breaux
Ultimate in Mexico got its start in the early 80's when a Mexican citizen named Beto Stern returned to Mexico City after going to college in the US. While in school, Beto was introduced to Ultimate.

That was beyond comprehension.
