The UKU Women’s Committee work on a range of projects that will be collated on the committee’s microsite. The women’s committee aim to produce resources and tools to help with different areas of need. For example, take a look at this article on how to run a geo-based Ultimate event.

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.

*here we use women to include everyone who plays in the women’s division or who would play for a women’s roster spot in the mixed division
