Didsbury Ultimate Frisbee For Amateurs
Welcome to DUFFA!
We're Manchester's open Ultimate Frisbee club and one of the largest Ultimate Frisbee clubs in the North West. We meet and play twice a week - outdoors at Fog Lane Park, Didsbury, Manchester and indoors at Parrs Wood High School Sports Hall.
Over the summer (April - September), we play every Thursday and Sunday and finish with a pint or three in the Red Lion. Over the winter (September - April), we play every Sunday with a midweek session indoors and finish with a pint or three in the Red Lion, Withington or the Griffin Hotel in Heaton Mersey.
Our players are of varying levels, from total beginners to uni-level. We also frequently meet up for socials in and around the Didsbury area.
Want To Play?
DUFFA's ultimate goal (sorry) is to ensure that new members are always made to feel welcome and that just about anyone can just turn up and play. We welcome all abilities, especially those who have never played before. We're happy to take beginners through the basics - throwing and catching skills and go over the rules. Feel free to come down and just watch us if you want to see the level we play at and have a chat over a pint after!
If you're interested just turn up to any session in old trainers (if it's muddy) and bring a bottle of water. The fastest way to learn is to play!
Beginners ALWAYS welcome! - see here for more details
What is Ultimate?
Imagine a cross between American Football (for the endzones) and Netball. Now add a frisbee and some fun... See 10 Simple Rules for Playing Ultimate
