What: 4v4 Mini Hat Tournament. 2:2 Gender Ratio with Mixed / Co-ed Play. Middle school (morning), high school (early afternoon), and college/adult divisions (late afternoon).
There will also be an accompanying skills clinic for all youth players in between the middle school and high school divisions.
Who: Middle School, High School, and College/Adult Players are invited to play! We’re particularly interested in more girls players to ensure a true 2:2 gender ratio for play.
When: Saturday November 29th. Projected Tournament Game Times below (subject to change)
Where: We are partnering with Woodward Academy to host this event. The exact field location on Woodward Campus is TBD.
Why:
– Middle Schoolers have an opportunity to play following the fall middle school season!
– High Schoolers can use the tournament as a tune up in preparation for the high school spring season.
– College/Adult Players can use this as a playing opportunity to play with new or old friends, perhaps with those who are home for the weekend.
– Everyone has an opportunity to play mixed, co-ed ultimate with different players!
– And Ultimate Peace will help bring the positive energy and vibes!
Cost:
Girls/Women Matching Players ($20)*
Boys/Men Matching Players ($30)*

Eleven local youth players were invited to try out for USA Ultimate’s U-20 teams that will represent the United States next summer at the 2026 WFDF World Junior Ultimate Championships in Logroño, Spain. The tryouts will take place in November.
Please extend our congratulations to the players (and the parents, coaches, teammates, and others that supported them), as these individuals will represent our community. Wishing you all good luck!
The full list of our youth Atlanta players and the high school they currently attend or recently graduated from are stated below. The official announcement from USA Ultimate and the full list of players can be found here.
AFDC Juniors is thrilled to announce a new Girls Winter Indoor League! Details Below.
What: Girls 5v5 Indoor Ultimate League. We project four teams of 8 to 12 girls per team. We’ll use an indoor rule set similar to these ones HERE. Bring Sneakers.
Who: Girl-Matching Players currently in Grades 7-12. All levels of experience are welcome!
When: Sunday Afternoons from 3:00-5:00pm.
Nov. 9, 16, 23, 30
Dec. 14, 21, 28
Jan. 11, 18, 25
Note: Dec. 7th and Jan 4th are off for GUAC events. We encourage girls to go to the GUAC events during those weeks.
Where: The Paideia Multipurpose Gym. (1509 South Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30307). It is #14 on this campus map.
Why: There has been demand for more playing opportunities for girls! We hope this league will develop a stronger community and healthy competition within the girls division. Our location is in a convenient in-town location, indoors (resistant to cold/bad weather!). We also offer flexible / sliding scale payment options so that cost is not a factor for those families with a tighter budget.
Hesitant to join a league where you don’t know anyone on your team? Players have the option “pair” with a friend (or respected opponent!) to guarantee you’ll be placed on the same team!
Part-Time Players Encouraged to Join!! Some players are interested but have concerns they’re only able to make it to a few weeks of the season, which runs through the end of January. We want those players to play in our league for whatever they are able to make. Even if players can only make a single event, we’d love to have them there!
Sliding Scale Cost: Additionally, for all players — including those only able to play part-time — the fee structure is a sliding scale that begins as low as $5 to play (see below). So if players feel they can only make 25% of league days, feel free to pay 25% of what they normally would. Pay for what you can play! Totally cool with the organizers.
Cost: Sliding scale from $5-100 for the entire season. Payment options are at the end of this form.
Please reach out to Miranda Knowles (League Commissioner) <knowles.miranda@paideiaschool.org> and/or Josh Feng (Youth Executive Director) <josh.feng@afdc.com> for more details or if you have any questions or comments.
