Support our ultimate frisbee team

Hello everyone,

My name is Lácides Felipe Enciso Medina, I am 28 years old. And currently I am studying a degree to be a physical education teacher in the city of Barranquilla in the department of Atlantico - Colombia.

Our ultimate frisbee team

We are an ultimate Frisbee team from Barranquilla city, consist of young people from 11 to 38 years old. This team was founded approximately almost 3 years ago. We currently have 40 members, they are in 3 categories: male, female and mix.

Great sport and people, but low resources

All of members of the group are all coming from lower middle class. And our idea to sustain the activity was by becoming a non-profit teaching team.

Since we all know that Ultimate Frisbee is an emerging sport, all the team's equipment, training sessions, and tournament participation were self funded and managed by fundraising activities that we carried out ourselves.

Please support our plan in the midst of Covid-19

As you know the ultimate frisbee is not a very well-paid popular sport in any part of the world. Here in Colombia most of the teams are from medium or high level income people, but especially for us, our club players are coming from medium and low level income. However, we are very proud that we have gone to several tournaments outside of our region, like to Antioquia, Norte de Santander, Córdoba, Bolivar, Magdalena and Santander.

We have always self-managed everything with activities like sales, raffles, ultimate flash tournaments and other things. The main idea of our team is to teach ultimate frisbee from zero, we wish to become an ultimate frisbee school, since most of other teams do not have that goal.

Our closest plans right now would be to resume the training, since tournaments outside the region have been canceled due to the Covid-19 situation.

We need a new uniform

We plan to have new uniforms, since the uniform we had now was launched 2 years ago. The idea behind ​​this fundraising is to buy uniforms for boys or at least subsidize the purchase so they do not have to spend a lot of money out of their pocket.

This is our previous uniform, we had it more than 2 years ago.

Teach and practice frisbee from home

Before Covid-19 problem, we trained 4 times a week, on floor and grass courts alternatively. We want to continue the training and do all means possible to make everyone involved safely. We currently train personally at home. I and my other partner, who are the coaches, send them exercise routines so that they could stay in shape and do not lose their love for the ultimate frisbee.

We hope that you would support us. Remember, sport is life. We will always promote this sport, because it is one of the best things that ever come into our lives and we do it with passion.
