A laid back informal ultimate frisbee game at Blueberry Hill Park - 1 walkable mile from the Shady Grove Metro station, Sunday mornings at 9.  We welcome veterans, people who haven't thrown a frisbee before, and everyone in between.

Best of all, it's free to play and we're nice people who take water breaks!  We've been playing since 2009.  Not all of our players are on Meetup.com to RSVP.

 

Inclement Weather

In case of rain the night before or the morning of play, call the Montgomery County field information line at 7 am on the day of play at 301-765-8787, then press 1, then 9, then 1 for the Shady Grove area.  If the field's closed we won't play.  If the field's open, but there's a steady downpour, there's a chance we won't have enough to play.

 

Directions:

We play on the baseball outfield grass next to the soccer field.

A convenient parking location is at the corner of Ironforge Court and Needwood Road in Gaithersburg, MD 20855.  To get here...

From 270 South... Take exit 9 to 370 East. Exit at the Metro station and take the loop around the station Turn left onto Redland Rd Take a left at the light onto Needwood Rd (second entrance) Blueberry Hill is 1/2 mile on the right

From 270 North... Exit 8 (Shady Grove Road) Keep far to the right on the exit, following signs to Redland Blvd and merge onto Redland Road Go 2 miles (passing a Safeway and crossing 355) and take a left onto Needwood Rd (second entrance) Blueberry Hill is 1/2 mile on the right

If you need an address for your own directions, you can use 16617 Bethayres Road, Gaithersburg, MD,  20855.  That'll place you at another parking lot.  Look for us in the baseball outfield.

 

How we play:

*If you don't know how to play, we'll teach you the basics....all are welcome!

* We don't use force defenses, cup defenses, stacks, etc. Some have said we play ultimate with a backyard family atmosphere. Playing ultimate should be fun!

* We aim for easy going gameplay so you won't be given commands on how to run or where to play. Nobody wants to be told what to do.

* We don't keep stall counts as most of us throw in the first few seconds anyway.

* We welcome players of all abilities who make it a point to get everyone involved in the game. Don't make us have to remind you to throw it to your other, open teammates, even if they're not superstar players because, really, none of us are.

* Remember that ultimate frisbee is a non-contact sport. Rough play is not cool here.  Overly aggressive play will earn you a timeout.  If it's a pattern, we'll boot you from the group.

* We usually have 5v5, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. No matter the turnout, we'll get some exercise.

* Hope to see you there!
