Player Information

We Are Noble Warriors

It’s not enough to just “play” Ultimate at Hopkins.  We are Noble Warriors – train hard, compete hard and most importantly, conduct ourselves with the highest moral values. 

Player Expectations

• Abide by the Spirit of the Game.
• Be a positive role model and encourage sportsmanship by showing respect, courtesy and by demonstrating positive support, for all players, coaches, officials and spectators at every game or practice
• Treat other players, coaches, officials and spectators with respect regardless of race, gender-identity, or ability.
• Understand that the sport of ultimate is self-officiated and, as such . . .
• Always assume that all players on the field have the best of intentions when making and discussing calls.
• Do NOT involve yourself with calls or any discussion that takes place that does not involve You.
• Do NOT make derogatory comments regarding any calls or decisions by the players involved in the play in question.
• It's more important to discuss and learn form other players when an infraction is made than to be correct all the time.



“Spirit of the Game is Olympism in action; the soul of true sport. Spirit challenges athletes to balance the qualities of body, will and mind by placing the onus of competing with integrity and respect on each and every athlete.” - Canadian Junior Player
