Dear National Federations (Secretaries General and Administrators),

As part of WFDF’s Strategic Plan and Objectives, we are happy to announce the launch of UltiM4TES, a program aimed at helping developing National Federations and local communities worldwide start beginner-friendly Ultimate leagues. Please find more information below:

UltiM4TES is a program aimed at launching social leagues in communities. Through UltiM4TES, developing National Federations and their communities can expand existing activities, like regular pickup games, to offer more structured, yet still fun, playing opportunities.  It uses a 4-a-side mixed-gender format with a strong focus on the social side of the game. Recommended rule variations, like "rolling subs" and "dropped pulls," are included to help new players learn and enjoy the game. A Handbook was created to outline key steps, from creating a league outline to planning for future activities, and provides guidance on logistics, budgeting, and promoting the Spirit of the Game, as well as accompanying resources and templates to support ongoing organization. UltiM4TES was created by the National Federation of New Zealand (New Zealand Ultimate) and has since impacted thousands of participants across the country. Access the UltiM4TES resources on WFDF Academy: https://academy.wfdf.sport/course/view.php?id=52

Please consider sharing this with your Flying Disc Sports community.

Thank you for your collaboration in the development and promotion of Flying Disc Sports.

Best regards,

Dillon Richardson
