Who we are:

Grit is an Elite club team from Washington D.C. that competes in USAU’s Women’s Division. We have qualified and competed at Nationals in 2022, 2023, and 2024. 

Grit has two main values 1) the sum of us is greater than any one of our contributions, and 2) we strive to balance competition and fun. We work better as a team, and we work bring out each other’s best and appreciate each other as people both on and off the field. 
 
We want to foster a welcoming and competitive environment where we can compete at the highest level. Throughout a season we want to encourage growth not only as teammates, our knowledge of the game, our fitness level, our passion for the sport, and all other aspects of being an athlete in the ultimate community, but also growth as people! One goal we have is that anywhere you go after you play for Grit, you have the confidence and tools to make a difference, build someone else up, and lead. 
 

How we function:

Grit makes it a priority to keep ultimate affordable and accessible for everyone and will provide financial assistance to players as needed. We never want money to be reason a player can’t play with us! 

Throughout the season we expect our teammates to assist with various team organizational needs and logistical tasks by using a committee structure to delegate functions. We also expect our teammates to put some time toward community service activity opportunities (e.g. trash cleanups) and participate in conversations / activities geared toward improving equity in and access to ultimate.

We love being part of the DMV ultimate community! We collaborate with and celebrate other local club teams, especially our friends who also play in the Women’s division.

 

We are always looking for new recruits. If you’d like to try out for Grit or have any questions, please email gritultimate@gmail.com
