UK Ultimate
We are the National Governing Body (NGB) for the sport of Ultimate in Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
UK Ultimate (UKU) works towards the goal that everyone should have an excellent experience of Ultimate in the UK. We intend to lead and support the UK's development into one of the World's leading Ultimate communities. We will maintain and protect the Spirit of the Game as the underlying principle in everything we do.
What is Ultimate?
Ultimate is a fast-moving team sport enjoyed by millions of players around the world. Ultimate has some unique features: there are no referees and it’s played with a flying disc.
To compete at the highest level, Ultimate players require speed, agility and endurance. Yet beginners find the game easy to learn and fun to play. Grab a disc, get out there, and discover why many think this is the ultimate team sport.
UK Ultimate is a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee.
Members are effectively the “owners” of UK Ultimate, rather like the shareholders of a company, except that the organisation cannot distribute any profits. The members elect a Board of Directors to act on their behalf in looking after the interests of the organisation. The Board in turn appoints staff, volunteers and committees to take responsibility for various tasks and activities.
