Pick Up

Pick up is the most casual form of Ultimate. There are pick up locations scattered around the Indianapolis area, and each are welcoming to any player, experienced or not, to come play and hangout during their scheduled times. Below you can find each pick up location, how many people usually attend, and what days and times they usually play. 

IUPUI

Here at IUPUI, we're just a bunch of college kids who love to play Ultimate. All of our games are pick-up and we play in between classes, even if it's just for a few minutes to toss. We're a pretty laid back group that is open to any skill level. At IUPUI, we play by the basic rules of Ultimate, while incorporating rules from competitive leagues. We play right smack dab in the middle of the campus on a mostly grass field. There are some sidewalks that cross between the fields. Most of our players wear cleats, although we have people who play bare footed and/or in tennis shoes as well.

Days/Times: Mondays and Fridays at 4:00 pm to whenever
Cost: Free
Location: University College Courtyard

American Legion Mall, Downtown Indianapolis

We like Ultimate Frisbee. We live in Indianapolis. We play on Tuesdays and Thursdays and most weekends. We play in the rain, the snow, the hail, and in front of the public library downtown on the American Legion Mall at 2pm most weekends and holidays

We play for fun, not for points. If this isn’t your idea of Frisbee, you’ll probably not like our group.
PS. If you park on fort wayne after 6pm, it's free parking. There is also free bike parking.

Days/Times: Most weekdays at 2pm
Cost: The cost of parking if needed

Smith Valley United Methodist Church Outreach

For 7 years Smith Valley United Methodist Church has been offering weekly pickup games for ages 10 and up, running from April to October. The skill level of our players range from beginner, to college. Our goal is to offer a friendly, fun environment where people from all walks of life, and beliefs can come and participate in competitive games. The last 4 years we have been blessed with the funding to give free shirts, water bottles, and complimentary discs to participants. Once a month we offer a community cookout as well. Cleats are not required but shoes are; metal cleats are prohibited. We are a great place where you can learn the game, or pass your knowledge on to someone else.
Days/Times: Wednesdays at 6pm, April-October
Cost: Free
Location: 5293 Old Smith Valley Road

Terre Haute Ultimate Pick Up

Unlike many pick-up groups, this group plays year round. During the summer, we play at Lost Creek Elementary school and during the late fall and winter we get in some good light-up ultimate with LED wristbands and discs on the intramural fields at Rose-Hulman. All games are organized via the Facebook group in the form of a role-call. If enough people are able to play (usually at least 8 for 4v4 play) participants will meet at the specified place and time. Occasionally times or locations may change so pay close attention to our Facebook group for the latest updates! We typically have beginner-intermedate level players (newcomers and veterans welcome!). Cleats are recommended. 

Days/Times: 5:30-8:00 PM (M,W,F) 
Cost: Free
Location: Lost Creek Elementary School or Rose Hulman Institute of Technology

Columbus

Here in Columbus, we've got a variety of ages and skill levels that meet Thursdays at Mill Race Park April-October. Warm-ups start at 5:45pm with games starting at 6. Typically, we'll play for well over an hour without keeping score and then call a game to 7 at the end, so it's a good blend of casual pick-up and semi-competitive ultimate. Skill levels vary from new to seasoned players, so whether you're new to the sport or been playing for years, we'd love to have you join us! Shoes: Many players wear cleats, but others play barefoot or in tennis shoes.


Days/Time: Every Thursday, April-October, approximately 6-8
Cost: Free
Location: Mills Race Park
