Ultimate Impact is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that was launched in June 2016. We use ultimate Frisbee as the framework for providing girls and boys 6 to 18 years old with increased opportunities, confidence, communication abilities, and conflict-resolution skills. Through weekly training sessions, peer interaction, and consistent adult mentorship, Ultimate Impact creates a positive environment for youth to have fun, be active, improve athletic skills, and build community through the concept of a team.
