Beginner-friendly ultimate frisbee is coming to the Howell–Brighton area in Spring 2027.
We are bringing people together for casual games, fresh air, and new friendships. Our first adult co-ed pickup games are planned for May — join the list for updates and a say in the schedule.
You do not need a team, years of experience, or a perfect throw.
Ultimate Together is a new community in Livingston County for people who want to get outside, learn something, and enjoy playing with others. Whether you are trying ultimate for the first time or coming back to a sport you used to love, we would love to have you help build it.
Learn as you play
We plan to introduce the basics at every session and give new players time to get comfortable. Nobody gets thrown in cold.
Come on your own
Join as an individual. Teams are picked at the session, so you never have to arrive with a roster or a friend in tow.
Encourage each other
Respect, effort, and good sportsmanship set the tone. That is the part of the game we care most about getting right.
The game
Fast, friendly, and easier to pick up than it looks.
Seven a side, one disc, no referees. You run, you cut, you catch — and when you have the disc you stop and look for a teammate. Most people understand the whole game inside one session.

Pickup means you arrive on your own and leave having played with everyone.
The basics
New to ultimate frisbee?
Ultimate is a team sport played with a flying disc. Players pass the disc to teammates and score by catching it in the opposing end zone. When you have the disc you stop running and look for a pass, so the game rewards moving, communicating, and reading the field more than raw speed.
There are no referees — players call their own fouls, which is why the sport has a reputation for being friendly. Our sessions are about learning, playing, and enjoying the game together. If you have never thrown a disc before, that is a fine place to start.
What a point looks like: two players, one disc, no referee.

Where we play
Close enough to make it a habit.
The whole point of a local group is that getting there is easy. We are looking at fields in and around Howell and Brighton so that most people in Livingston County are inside a twenty-minute drive.
If you would travel from one of these, put your city or ZIP in the form — that is genuinely how we will pick the field and the night.

Never played? Start here.
We wrote a free learning center for complete beginners — the rules in plain English, the two throws that matter, what to bring, and short introductory videos.
Pickup means people arrive as individuals and teams are put together for that session. No standings, no season-long commitment — you come when you can.

What to expect
Come as you are. Learn as you play.
Sessions are casual adult co-ed pickup. You do not need a team, a partner, or any experience — turn up on your own and we will fold you into a game.
Before you play, someone runs you through the two basic throws and the few rules that actually matter. Everything else you pick up as you go — which is how most of us learned.
How it works
Help shape our first season.
Join the Spring 2027 waitlist and we will keep you updated as the first games take shape. You will also get to tell us which days and which areas work best for you. There is no payment and no commitment to play when you join.
Join the list
First name, email, and the city or ZIP you would travel from. That is all we ask for.
Share your preferences
Optional questions about experience, days that suit you, and whether you would like to help organize.
Get the schedule first
When the field and days are confirmed, you get the details and an invitation to the opening game.
No tryouts. No standings. Just good games.

Who is behind this
Why we are starting Ultimate Together.
Ultimate Together
Hi — I am Tom, and I live here in the Howell–Brighton area. I wanted a friendly, low-pressure place to play ultimate close to home: the kind where you can show up on your own, learn as you go, and leave having met a few people. I could not find one, so I am starting one.
The plan is simple. Casual adult co-ed pickup, beginners genuinely welcome, and a group that is encouraging on the field. If you have played before and want to help teach, run a session, or bring equipment, that help is very welcome — say so when you join the list and I will be in touch.
Questions
Everything people ask first
Do I need experience?
No. We are planning a beginner-friendly introduction at each session and an encouraging playing environment. Plenty of people on the list have never played.
Can I join without a team?
Yes. The pickup format is designed for individual signups — teams are formed on the spot each session.
Where will games happen?
We are exploring fields in the Howell–Brighton area. The exact location will be announced once arrangements are confirmed, and everyone on the waitlist hears first.
When will games begin?
We are aiming for May 2027. Join the list for confirmed dates as soon as they exist.
Is this a formal league?
Not to start with. We are beginning with casual pickup. A more structured league may follow if there is enough consistent interest.
Can children play?
The initial plan is adult pickup, so the first sessions are for adults. We are collecting interest in future youth and family sessions separately — there is a box for it in the preferences form.
Does joining cost anything?
No. Joining the waitlist is free and does not commit you to playing.
Can I help organize?
Yes, and it would make a real difference this early. Tell us in the signup preferences or through the contact page.
