Ultimate Frisbee is a sport that I started at University to make friends and meet new people. I never thought that I would one day be playing the sport at a world level. This year, I am proud to announce that I will be playing and captaining Newcastle’s mixed Ultimate team; Pie Wagon at the World Ultimate Club Championships 2022. This is an amazing opportunity and I am beyond excited to go over to Cincinnati Ohio in July.

However, this is where fundraising comes in. Ultimate Frisbee is an up-and-coming sport and unfortunately, it is all self-funded. We don't get paid to play, we don't get sponsors - we pay for the privilege of playing. Playing at a high level comes with a number of costs and a Worlds campaign very easily exceeds $5,000.

A rough breakdown of what the estimated cost (in AUD) looks like is...

  • $200 for uniform
  • $600 player fees for the tournament
  • $1100 for accommodation at the tournament (10 nights)
  • $2,000 + for return flights for the tournament (subject to pricing and availability given COVID)
  • $300 for travel insurance
  • Approx $1,500 for the pre-tour where the team will visit multiple US cities to train and have practice games against other teams in preparation
  • + additional money spent on personal training/gym and countless hours spent training both individually and with my team

I never in my wildest dreams thought I would be playing sport in another country at a world championship level but here we are! Any and all contributions are greatly appreciated - and will always be repaid with a throwing lesson!
