What is Women’s League?

Women’s League is a hat league (meaning people sign up as individuals and are placed on a team, the idea being to spread out the beginners and the experienced players so that each team has a mix of both) organized by the Los Angeles Organization of Ultimate Teams (LAOUT). This is LAOUT’s 4th year organizing a women’s league!

Why?

To promote the growth of women’s ultimate in LA, and give players the opportunity to play with and against all women, as an alternative to coed.

When does it happen?

Women’s League will be played on 5 consecutive Saturdays in the late spring: April 18 through May 16. Games will probably start at 10 am each weekend (although we may make that a little earlier to avoid hot sand, depending on how people feel about it), and 2 games will be played, so we should be done around 1:00 depending on how prompt everyone is.

Where?

This year due to lack of available grass fields as well as positive feedback from last year, we will again be playing on the beach in Santa Monica at the end of Ocean Park Blvd. From the 405/10 interchange, take the 10 W, exit Lincoln Blvd., turn left (heading south) on Lincoln, turn right on Ocean Park Blvd. (about 1/2 mile down) and head to the beach. We meet where Ocean Park Blvd. hits the beach. There is a public parking lot just south of the end of Ocean Park Blvd. ($6 per day or 2 hr short term parking for I can’t remember how much).

Who can play?

Women’s League is open to female ultimate players of all skill levels who live in the greater Los Angeles area. The league is beginner friendly.

How do I join the league?
