The Hamilton College Ultimate Frisbee team is a group of people who is passionate about creating a fun, spirited, and inclusive space to play ultimate! We are an ever-growing, self-coached team that accepts players of all types of experience. Our team practices year-round. During our fall and spring seasons, we practice outdoors Monday through Friday for two hours. We attend several open and women’s tournaments each fall in the Northeast and have been known to take home a trophy or two. We continue our practices indoors two or three times a week during the winter months. In the spring, we compete in the Metro East USAU college series. Last year, our women's team made it to regionals, and the men's team made it to nationals in Texas! Off the field, the team enjoys many social gatherings and unique team bonding throughout the year, like team dinners, formals, hangs, and movie nights!

The Women’s Rugby Team is a competitive club sport that provides a positive, fun, and enriching environment for athletes who enjoy team sports. No experience required, and the majority of students who join the team have no prior knowledge of the game. The team typically practices on Minor Field from 4:30 to 6:30 pm Monday through Friday. We are a part of the Upstate New York Collegiate Rugby Conference (UNYCRC), and we compete in both the fall and spring seasons. Rugby is a club sport, meaning that there are no try-outs, no cuts, and everyone plays. Contact Women's Rugby Football Club at hcwrugby@hamilton.edu.
