From time to time we are asked about Pickup in and around our area.
Here's a quick run down of the games we know about.
[Last updated September 28, 2015]
LEAGEUS*
Washington Area Frisbee Club (
WAFC)
- Sponsors leagues year round. Games tend to take place in and around
DC, so this may be a bit further south than some people want. WAFC's
REC LEAGUE is one of the best places to learn ultimate if you are a
beginner. If you are interested, go to
http://www.wafc.org for more information.
*
Central Maryland Ultimate Association (
CMUA)
- Holds leagues year round, more focused in the Baltimore area.
Leagues can be a bit on the more skilled side and less friendly to
beginners. If you want to know more about CMUA go to

winter. Start time has been known to fluctuate between 2pm and 3pm.

WEB RESOURCES
*
http://pickupultimate.com/ - There is a new website out there for
finding pickup games that I absolutely love. It is really nicely
built and easy to use. The down side is that it being new, not
everything is listed. But check it out anyway.
*
http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/DCPickup/ - WAFC (Washington
Area Frisbee Club) is more for our friends down toward the District.
They run leagues in the DC area, but there is also a loosely
associated mailing list that tracks Pickup games around DC. Go to the
site to see the schedule and join the list.
