The URI Club Men’s Ultimate Team, or RIUT (Rhode Island Ultimate Team), has grown to a roster of nearly 60 students, and the competitive level of the team has increased accordingly. We have both an A and a B team for players of different experience levels. We take part in about five tournaments each semester, culminating with the USA Ultimate Championship Series, which consists of Sectionals, Regionals, and Nationals tournaments. Other tournaments are hosted by colleges across the northeast. The team has traveled as far as Tallahassee, FL, and Savannah, GA, to compete in these tournaments.
