The ultimate frisbee kit bag checklist
Most games are lost to small things: no spare shirt, no water, studs left at home. Use this checklist to pack once and stop thinking about it.
On the field
- Cleats suited to the surface (grass, turf or indoor)
- Shorts or leggings and a spare pair of socks
- Light and dark shirts, in case teams clash
- A disc, and ideally a spare
- Sun hat or cap, plus sunglasses
- Cones or markers if your pitch is not set up for you
Staying comfortable
- Water, more than you think you need
- A snack for between games at a tournament
- A warm layer and a rain jacket for the sideline
- A towel and a change of clothes
- Sunscreen
For tournament days
- Registration details and the schedule
- Tape, plasters and any support you use
- A folding chair or mat
- A phone charger or battery pack
- Cash or a card for food and the post-game drink
Before you leave
Charge your Apple Watch and phone. If you keep score or record workouts with Huck, a full battery means the game and your effort are saved properly.
Questions
What shoes do I need for ultimate?
Cleats suited to the surface you play on. Grass and turf need studs, indoor courts need court shoes.
How much water should I bring?
More than you think. For tournament days, bring enough for several games plus the time between them.
Keep score. Track the rest.
