UCSD Womxn’s Ultimate – Dragon Coalition – is not only one of the top Womxn’s Frisbee Teams in the country, but it also prides itself on the inclusivity, competitiveness, and fun that our program represents.
With Division I standing in USA Ultimate, we travel around the country each year competing at a wide variety of tournaments including Sean Ryan at UC Santa Cruz, Stanford Invite at Stanford University, and Northwest Challenge in Burlington, WA.
As a nationals-level team, we understand that a sport is not complete without the spirit of its players. We strive to maintain a welcoming and affirming community for all. We also offer two-levels of competitiveness and commitment, as our number one goal is to spread awareness and love for our sport as much as possible.
If this all seems intimidating to you, do not worry! NO EXPERIENCE necessary, and it is common for a majority of Ultimate Frisbee players to begin in college. It is never too late to try something new, and might as well meet new people and have fun while you’re at it! Chances are everyone is still figuring it out with you 🙂
If any of this interests you, reach out to one of our captains listed above, and/or keep updated with our social media for tryout dates/pickup opportunities. We are so excited to meet you, and hope you wish to become a part of our Dragon Coalition ?
Dragon Coalition History
The UCSD Women’s Ultimate team was founded in 1995 by Beth Lewis (who was then known as Beth Phillips). Upon her arrival at UCSD in the fall of 1995, Beth recruited a few young women to play ultimate and founded Psycaughtit (which was later shortened to Psycho sometime during the 2001 season). After winning a National championship title in 2019, the UCSD Psychos decided to rename themselves as “Dragon Coalition” or “DCO”, in an effort to promote inclusivity and bring the same joy to those who watch Ultimate as as it brings us to play.
