Youth summer programs across 8 towns

BUDA youth ultimate is running in eight towns this summer — our biggest youth footprint yet. Lexington, Newton, Boston, Somerville, Arlington, Belmont, Framingham, and Hopkinton all host grade-banded programs, from K-2 intro sessions through the high school summer league.

Programs start the week of June 22. Younger grades focus on throwing, catching, and small-sided games; middle school divisions play real ultimate with self-officiating coached in from day one; and the high school league (sites in Lexington, Newton, and Boston) runs competitive weeknight games with divisions for grades 9-10 and 11-12+.

Cost should never keep a kid off the field. Every youth program uses the sliding scale, financial aid is automatic — no forms, no proof, just pick the tier that works — and gear is provided.

Two asks for the adult community. First: coaches. Every town program needs volunteer coaches and high-school player-mentors; if you can give one weekday evening, email youth@buda.org. Second: spread the word beyond the usual ultimate families. The kids who most need a sport like this are the ones whose parents have never heard of it.

Registration for everything is open now on the youth program page.
