Please see below for event information and update about draft schedules for the Club Indoor Qualifier events on 22-23 Jan.

As of the Scottish Government's announcement on 11th January, indoor restrictions in Scotland will remain until at least 24th January. This means the ScCOWIQ events due to take place on 22/23 January in Dundee cannot go ahead as planned. Teams are being contacted directly.

Deadlines for trials applications for the GB U17 Open and Women’s teams and the GB U20 Open and Women’s teams can be found below. The U17 teams will be attending the European Youth Ultimate Championships, and the U20 teams will be attending the World Junior Ultimate Championships.

We have now received confirmation from WFDF and EUF that both tournaments will be held alongside one another in Wroclaw, Poland from the 6th to 13th August 2022.

Please note that is a change from the previously arranged location of WJUC, and a shift from the suggested date for EYUC. 

Squad Application Forms And Deadlines

GB U20 Women - Saturday 15th January

GB U20 Open - Sunday 23rd January

In Scotland, for three weeks from 26th December, adult indoor contact sport is not permitted.  In terms of the UKU Phased Return to Play, this means returning to Phase B (affecting indoors only).

In Wales there are general, temporary limits on the size of indoor gatherings (30 people) although today’s announcement was somewhat ambiguous about whether close contact indoor team sport could continue.  Clubs with bookings in this period may need to liaise with their venue until we are able to clarify this point.

Finally we note that we may not provide ongoing, regular updates on changes to Covid-19 restrictions that affect Ultimate between today (22nd December) and New Year.  We will provide an update early in January that summarises the situation at that time.

Please see this document for a provisional 2022 outdoor club calendar and proposed structure for 2023 onwards.  Please note that some of the 2022 dates are still provisional, and that we will be looking to work with clubs and organisers to ensure we have a variety of Tier 2 Ranking events as noted in the document.  There will be time during 2022 for players and clubs to provide input and feedback on the proposals for 2023-24. 

UKU is looking for a new Women's Coordinator to join the Competitions Committee.  This role is also automatically part of the Women’s Committee.  As part of the competitions committee the appointee helps shape the high-level structure of UKU competitions and represents the women's division as well as leading conversations relating to the Women's division. As part of the Women's Committee the Women's Coordinator is a member of the committee and acts as a liaison with the Competitions Committee, helping with the development of the Women's Ultimate in the UK.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Kirsten Wells for all her work in this role over the last few years.
