SOUTH DIVISION

DC Shadow

EST. 2020

As an organization we seek to advance competitive excellence of women and non-binary ultimate players in the greater DC community. We look to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion in ultimate. In order to do so, we focus on the following:

  • Define what it means to produce a professional experience for our athletes as players and members of the community

  • Build relationships with existing ultimate frisbee organizations (club, college, league, youth, etc.) in the greater DC community

  • Connect with local communities and proactively seek opportunities to elevate marginalized groups

DC Shadow and The Club Players’ Coalition – our local grassroots organization – seek to advance gender equity in the sport of ultimate by supporting the development of youth ultimate, strengthening ties between area college and club players, and increasing accessibility to and visibility of women and non-binary ultimate players.

D.C. Shadow acknowledges that it plays on the occupied land of the Anacostan, Nacotchtank, Pamunkey, and Piscataway people. As a result, we will develop a plan to pay Land Rent to groups supporting and advocating for Native American rights and resources. We will also discuss and share stories of those lands we play on. Acknowledgement and payment is not enough.
