Welcome to DUFFA!
We play Ultimate Frisbee outdoors at Fog Lane Park, Didsbury, Manchester and indoors at Parrs Wood High School Sports Hall.
Over the summer (April - August), we play every Thursday and Sunday and finish with a pint or three in the Royal Oak. Over the winter (August - April), we play every Sunday with a midweek session indoors and finish with a pint or three in the Famous Crown, Didsbury or the Griffin Hotel in Heaton Mersey.
Our players are of varying levels, from total beginners to uni-level. Members come mainly from the local area, with some from London, Birmingham and Sydney!
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 members of all abilities, including those who have never played before. 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!
We also regularly host new beginner sessions where we practice basic throwing and catching skills and go over the rules. If you are interested just turn up in old trainers (if it's muddy) and bring a bottle of water. There is no need to wait for these sessions, you can just turn up and play!
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

DUFFA Hat Tournament
Registration is now open!
We held the first ever Manchester DUFFA Hat Tournament over the last weekend in July 2008, and it was a resounding success! 2009 had 196 players that came from across the UK and Europe! Sixteen teams, each made up of individuals that had never played together as a team before, competed against each other over the weekend. Complete novices played alongside experienced players in a relaxed and fun tournament.
We're pleased to announce that DUFFA Manchester Hat will be bigger and better than ever in 2010!!!
