Club teams

Above BUDA's leagues sits one of the deepest USA Ultimate club scenes in the country. Club teams are independent of BUDA — they run their own tryouts, practices, and travel — but they're stocked with BUDA league players, and this page is the community's directory.

How the club season works

Club teams generally hold tryouts from April to June, practice weekly, and compete at weekend tournaments every one to two months. The season culminates in the USA Ultimate Series: Sectionals, then Regionals, then, for the teams that earn it, the National Championships in the fall. Commitment varies wildly by team: the top rosters expect conditioning plans and national travel; sectionals-level teams expect you to show up on Wednesdays.

Boston's teams

The marquee names compete at Nationals year after year. Brute Squad, the women's team out of Lexington, won the national championship in 2025, their third title. DiG carries the open flag for Boston with five straight Nationals trips, and on the mixed side both Slow and Sprocket played at Nationals in 2025, with Sprocket taking second in 2024.

Below them runs a wide band of regionals- and sectionals-level teams across the metro: women's teams in Watertown and Cambridge, open teams from Somerville to Needham, mixed teams in Lexington, Wayland, and half of Boston proper — plus masters, grandmasters, and great-grandmasters rosters for players 30, 40, and beyond. There's a team at every level of ambition.

Not ready for club?
