The Women’s Committee is primarily set up to champion the interests of all women* in the UK Ultimate community and is governed by its Terms of Reference. The Women’s Committee aims to create, maintain and monitor a simple development plan for women’s Ultimate which should:

• Support continuous and long term growth in the number of women playing Ultimate in the UK, focussing on both recruitment and also retention.

• Support number and breadth of playing opportunities for women playing Ultimate in the UK.

• Support and promote projects that raise the standard of play and competition to improve GB and UK clubs’ success rates in international Women’s and Mixed competition.

• State priorities for the current year, and is realistic about limited resources that are available to the group.

• Be aligned with the UKU Strategic Plan.

• Recognise the diversity of participants and potential participants

• Support links between schools and colleges, universities and clubs to increase the number of players that become long-term members of Ultimate clubs once they have left education.

• Liaise with the other relevant UKU committees and Tournament Directors to develop and promote women’s participation at all levels.

• Provide a source of women’s-focussed feedback and ideas relating to the work of other UKU committees.

• Recruit volunteers to support and run committee projects, noting that those volunteers do not in general become members of the committee itself.
