The flying disc community

Before the war broke out we had a rather young and small, but developing flying disc community. About 350 athletes (+ around 500 enthusiasts) in Ukraine play ultimate, disc golf, and DDC.

The first Ukrainian ultimate clubs were founded in the 00s. In our country, we play all surfaces: grass, beach, and indoor. Our clubs and national teams participated in European and World Championships. Many Ukrainian players have played international tournaments such as SandSlash and Windmill.

We used to host about 10 ultimate tournaments in Ukraine every year. You might even have heard of Kiev Hat—an international hat tournament, which sadly stopped in 2014 because of the first Russian invasion back then.

The first disc golf community appeared in the 2010s. Starting with carried baskets we now have 3 stationary courses in 3 cities and organize a national championship and Ukraine Cup with several stages. Despite the war, our national disc golf team participated in the World team disc golf championship this year, for the first time ever.

Flying disc is officially a part of a secondary school program. Teachers can opt for it, and many already have. Thus we had dozens of schools, which implemented physical education with flying discs, and hundreds of kids playing.
