Grass Roots Ultimate started in 1991 as an informal league with less than one hundred players. Over the years and with the help of numerous volunteers, we now offer four seasons of coed leagues each year, host four tournaments, run a summer youth instructional league and have approximately 1,000 participants each year.

We also have one of the longest-running benefit Ultimate tournaments in the country, GRUB (established in 1992). We believe the unique spirit of sportsmanship of Ultimate provides a model for individual and social responsibility and GRUB is one of our ways to give back to the community.

In 2011 GRU awarded its first Spirit Scholarship to support exemplary youth who participate in Grass Roots Ultimate programs, are nominated by GRU participants and who will be attending a four year college or university.

Grass Roots Ultimate and all of its activities are entirely managed by volunteers from the community. A participant-based, 501(c)(3) organization, Grass Roots Ultimate is primarily run by an unelected, volunteer board of directors.
