About

Future of Ultimate is dedicated to sharing ideas and promoting dialogue on the future of the sport. Where other projects prioritize competition across the sport, Future of Ultimate explores issues of governance and sport development, especially from the perspective of organizers who make the sport happen. FOU's mission is to explore answers to two basic questions:

1. What is "success" for the future of ultimate?

2. How do we achieve that success as a community?

As a self-officiated sport, ultimate is defined by community dialogue. With this spirit in mind, Future of Ultimate will never restrict or paywall any published content on our website or social media channels. If you find our content meaningful and wish to support FOU financially, please consider joining as a Patreon member.
