Well, check out some or all of our most recent highlight reel to see what the fuss is about.
Information for Freshesrs:
Fresher's week is the best time to try out this sport, with tailored Give It A Go sessions running at the start of the semester, as well as coaching for new players and even beginner tournaments across the country to really get stuck in!
We strongly recommend that you join the facebook group, it is by far the easiest way to keep up to date with what's going on! For general enquiries, see below.
Due to its fast-paced game and a highly social, international community, Ultimate Frisbee is one of the fastest growing sports in the world. Picture all of the best bits of basketball, netball, and American football and you will get Ultimate. No Frills offers training sessions aimed at all levels so we can ensure the consistent progress and improvement you need to be playing confidently as soon as possible. Due to its fun, simple, and high-energy nature, not only is Ultimate Frisbee easy for beginners to pick up, but it's also a great way to keep fit as it requires pace, stamina, and agility!

However, we understand that not everyone joins a sports club at uni to become a student athlete. Anyone is welcome to our training sessions, all we ask for is an open mind and enthusiasm! Remember that most people who join the club have never played this sport before - since its founding in 1997, No Frills has boasted one of Cardiff's very few truly mixed-gender, totally inclusive sporting experiences. Everyone is welcome!
We have an excellent social calendar throughout the year. Our social secs will be working their very hardest to provide you with a fresh batch of themed socials such as "Under the Sea" or "What I Wanted to Be When I Was Younger" that will guarantee many an interesting night at the SU. Sober socials are always on the calendar too, from Wing Wednesdays at the Woody to golf, bowling, and ice skating. We will make sure that by the end of the year you have an eclectic fancy dress wardrobe, hilarious photos, and friends for life!
As well as being a team with spirit, we are a team with heart. Running many charity tournaments throughout the year to raise money for charities that support our local community, such as Crisis, who support homeless people. We also work hard to find volunteering opportunities so that we can go out and teach frisbee and keep kids active!
So whether you are looking to play competitive university sport, try a new sport that you’ve never played before, meet new people, or just improve your fitness levels, Ultimate Frisbee is the ideal sport for you.
