The Edmonton Women’s team is the group of motivated women who travel to tournaments around North America and abroad, representing the city of Edmonton.

The objectives of this team are to train players to compete as touring caliber ultimate players, as well as to develop ourselves as teachers and leaders for Edmonton Ultimate as a whole.

Practices begin in mid-April. April practices are held at Corbett field on Wednesday nights at 6:30pm-8:30pm. May- Sept practice location TBA; Monday and Wednesday evenings.
