Atlanta Women’s Ultimate, or AWU, was founded in 2014 to promote women’s ultimate and playing opportunities for women athletes within the Atlanta community. AWU is a community for female players of all ages to come together and share ideas, express their voice, and volunteer to increase and improve playing experiences for women.
A list of reoccurring annual events is below, but new programs and opportunities are happening every day! Previous AWU events and outreach efforts include: leading gender equity discussions, sponsoring female players, and partnering with Atlanta Soul, Atlanta’s first professional womxn’s team, to increase visibility of women in ultimate. In addition to participating in AWU-sponsored events, members currently play with, captain, and coach numerous ultimate teams across Atlanta, from youth to college, adult, and professional levels. As leaders in the community, AWU members are role models for Spirit of the Game, inclusion, and gender equitable values.
