We hope you’ll join us in December for a great weekend of frisbee and fun!
Here’s all the important information you’ll need:
Registration details: As with all AFDC ultimate/goaltimate events you will register through the leagues page. There will be limited spots. We will have 15 players per team with 12 teams total. This will be a fully mixed tournament so a 4/3 ratio will be the default.
Check-in: Starts at 8:30am Saturday at the fields. The schedule will be sent to players Friday night. You’ll receive a Spin jersey for your assigned team color, but jersey sizes will be handed out first come first serve, so arrive early if you need a specific size.
Hat rules: All players must wear a hat at all times while playing. Santa hats, chicken hats, cat in the hats welcome! There will be a prize for the best hat! If your hat falls off while you have the disc, it’s a turn!
Youth Donation Drive: We will have a donation box near the registration tent, so please bring with you any old jerseys, cleats, cones, frisbees, pinnies/reversibles, etc. to donate to Atlanta youth players. We will also accept regular clothes and items to donate to a local organization. This is not required but does help those that need it!
In addition to the 12 Days Hat Tournament… We’re excited to bring back the fanciest pantsiest party for ultimate players in Atlanta. That’s right – Fancy Pants will be happening as well! Participants in 12 Days will get a discount on their Fancy-Pants ticket!
Look out for a separate post about the Fancy-Pants party!
Sean Finlay will be the TD for 12 Days so please reach out to him if you have any questions and/or if you would like to help with set-up! seant.finlay@gmail.com

Fall League is currently underway, and registration is now closed. However, feel free to come out and meet some members of the AFDC at any of the pick up games below.
This league, exclusively for gender expansive and women/girl-identifying players, is back with a new format! On Sunday nights, come out to develop your play and build connections and community – every league night will start with skills and drills and end with small-field games.
Players will be able to join up at any point in the season, and the first night of league is free – no need to register in advance. So invite anyone who is new to ultimate to check out a night of league and see if they like it!
We will have two hat-style tournaments at mid-season and end-of-season, which are included in your league registration and also open for one-time registration. Let your friends know if they can’t commit to the season, they can register for just a tournament!
If you have any questions or are interested in helping plan/facilitate the skills and drills, email Lily at lilyponitz@gmail.com.
Gender expansive or women/girl-identifying players who are high school age and up can play.
Essentially, when you are registering for the league, you’re paying for the tournaments and getting all the skills and drills and play in between for free!
The rumors are true, Fall League is back starting September! We’re gonna keep this short and sweet, but wanted to make sure you had everything on your calendar to come play with us!
Fall league will have a little something for everyone, however, regular games will be played on Saturday mornings! We’re holding Thursday nights for some clinics and a couple of other surprises!
Teams will be mixed 5/2 or 4/3, and other items will be decided based on the number of people who sign up, so SIGN UP EARLY! If you are interested in captaining a team, email jonnaleanne@gmail.com.
Registration will open on August 29th!
Regular Season: Saturdays, September 17th – November 12 (10:00-1:00).
Thursday, September 15th, we’ll be having a kick off event before the season for everyone to come out and meet your team, and also, work it out, if any of you are coming back for the first time in a while.
EOST (End of Season Tournament): November 19th (More info to come)
We had an AMAZING week last week to include games with teams from all over the region and THE WORLD! Here’s a brief recap…
Team Germany and Team Australia stopped by on their way to Birmingham for THE WORLD GAMES. We were thrilled to host these top-level national teams for some fun and spirited exhibition games throughout the week.
We were stoked to make new friends and build international relations among the global Ultimate community.
With 29 teams across three divisions and well-over 500 people in attendance, Terminus came back from the break in HUGE fashion as AFDC’s premier USAU sanctioned tournament.
After two FULL days of competition, three teams were crowned our 2022 Terminus Champions.
Women’s Division: Atlanta Ozone
Mixed Division: Athens Murmur
Open Division – Kennesaw, “Kennesaw and Friends”, Delirium
Full schedule and standings can be found HERE.
