Avalon Ultimate Frisbee
Welcome to the Avalon Ultimate General information page. Specific registration information can be found in each team's respective subpage:
Chaperones Needed
Each team (high school and middle school) requires multiple adults who have had background checks and safesport training at the field anytime the team is gathered. I am asking for a few adults to volunteer their time to be chaperones. Let me know if you are interested. A background check and short training are required. NO ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED!
The first step is to register as a chaperone on the Minneosta Ultimate Website (just like you're a player, but select "chaperone" under "roles).
Sign up through Minnesota Ultimate and be sure to complete the following items:
NCSI- Please have all Team Admin, Coaches and Chaperones click the link to complete a background check. If a background check was received during the 2023 calendar year till current, They Do NOT have to complete a new one.
Mandatory CDC Concussion Training -
CDC Training- Please have all Team Admin, Coaches and Chaperones click the link to complete a CDC training course. This should only take 30 mins. Once your CDC training has been completed please attached your certificate to the following link: CDC Certificate Form
3. Safesport:
If you have completed SafeSport in the past, please use the enrollment key below to complete a refresher course at this link: FSMULTIMATE50R10123
Login and click “Enrollment Key” on your dashboard.
If this is your first time completing SafeSport, please use the enrollment key below to complete a new certification at this link: KQ0lcUYBlnJVFcwHE0-G
Create and account and click “Enrollment Key” on your dashboard.
Thank you for volunteering your time!
We will conduct a parent/guardian/student/coach meeting on Wednesday, March 13th at 4:00 pm. We will post a virtual link closer to the event. We will cover the basics of ultimate, season overview, registration, and answer any questions that you may have.
If you have any questions regarding any information contained in those documents or anything on this site, please email chris@avalonschool.org.
Thank you!
New to ultimate?
The first couple of things you should know is that ultimate is "self-officiated." This means a couple of things: 1. Players must understand the rules in order to make proper calls! 2. All players must recognize that every other player is there to have fun, so calling rules fairly (not simply to your own advantage) is what keeps the game fun!

Clothing/Attire:
Most ultimate players will wear cleats. There are ultimate-specific cleats, but those are usually expensive and difficult to find. I personally wear soccer cleats as they are designed for the type of running that occurs in ultimate. Wide receiver football cleats for grass would work as well.
Athletic clothing is also very helpful. Something that allows for movement and is not too baggy (baggy clothing interferes with throwing and catching). You do not have to wear spandex, but large baggy sweatshirts are not recommended.
Seeking Coaches
Avalon is also seeking applicants for the high school and middle school coach positions for Ultimate Frisbee. If you are interested, please see the details in the job descriptions below. If you know somebody who would be a great fit, please pass the information along!
