The Arizona Sidewinders are a Western Ultimate League (WUL) professional womxn's ultimate team based in Arizona. They joined the WUL in the 2020 inaugural year of the league, but the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so they have not yet competed. The Sidewinders' mission is to "advance both visibility and equity within the sport of Ultimate. Across the state of Arizona, we will foster growth within our sport, create leadership and volunteer opportunities for our communities, and provide a way for all womxn to compete on a stage which showcases high-level, competitive Ultimate."[1]

Franchise History

The Sidewinders are based in Phoenix for home games, but feature womxn from Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona[2]. Most of the team's trainings take place in Flagstaff, where five of its players are based[2].

Leadership Team


Color of Ultimate

The Soul, along with the Atlanta Hustle, sponsored and supported the first Color of Ultimate game, held in Atlanta on June 22, 2019.[3][4] The Color of Ultimate showcase games are a project of the Atlanta Flying Disc Club (AFDC) Project Diversity initiative aimed at raising the profiles of elite ultimate players of color from around the world.

The Color of Ultimate: ATL game was the first Color of Ultimate showcase game. According to AFDC Project Diversity, "the goal of the game was to bring awareness about the socioeconomic and racial inequity of the sport of ultimate. The game highlighted elite players of color from around the world, brought awareness to the racial and socioeconomic inequities of ultimate, and exposed the sport to those outside of our community encouraging more people of color to play ultimate."[5] The Color of Ultimate: ATL featured almost 50 players of color from across the United States and Colombia.[3] The two teams were coached by Jason Simpson and Tuba Benson-Jaja, two prominent players and coaches of color. Team Tuba defeated Team Simpson 20-19 in overtime.[3] A catch made by Team Tuba player Delrico Johnson was selected for the ESPN SportsCenter Top 10 plays of the day. The game had a widely positive reception.[3]

The showcase game was followed by a conversation about steps the sport can take to increase its diversity.[6] A documentary was produced with the support of USA Ultimate about the game and its impact on players, spectators, and their communities.[7]

It was followed by a second beach ultimate game sponsored in part by the American Ultimate Disc League[8] and produced in partnership with the LA Throwback beach ultimate tournament in Santa Monica, CA in January 2020.[9] LA Throwback is a popular winter beach ultimate tournament that annually hosts approximately 1500 athletes[10] and the game was played in front of hundreds of fans.[11] A 30 player roster was selected and divided into two elite level teams.[12] Team Manuel defeated Team Biles 15-13. Western Ultimate League commissioner Felicia Yang stated that the game was about "providing a platform for people and communities who haven’t historically had it."[11]
