About Hooligans FC
Hooligans FC is the only youth ultimate frisbee league in Calgary. With a balanced approach to training, practice, philosophy, and competition, Hooligans FC offers both new and experienced players an opportunity to be trained by knowledgeable coaches. Our common goal is to grow as a cohesive team and as individuals.
What is Ultimate?
Ultimate Frisbee is a fast-paced, non-contact team sport played with a flying disc, where players score points by catching the disc in the opposing team’s end zone. Combining elements of soccer, football, and basketball, the game emphasizes agility, strategy, and teamwork. Unique to ultimate is the “Spirit of the Game,” a core principle that encourages sportsmanship, self-officiating, and respect among players.
Skill Development
At Hooligans Frisbee Club, ultimate isn’t just fun — it’s a full-body workout disguised as a game.
Through practices and games, your child will build critical physical skills that set the foundation for success in any sport:
Speed and Agility
Ultimate demands constant movement — sprinting, cutting, and changing direction on a dime. Players develop quick feet, explosive acceleration, and elite body control.
Throwing and Catching
From the basic backhand to advanced throws like the hammer and scoober, kids learn how to throw with power, accuracy, and creativity — and catch a disc under pressure, even in the wind.
Endurance and Stamina
Ultimate keeps players moving at a high pace. Practices and games naturally boost cardiovascular fitness and build the kind of endurance that helps athletes excel across all sports.
Hand-Eye Coordination
Tracking a flying disc through the air builds timing, spatial awareness, and sharp hand-eye coordination — vital skills for almost every sport and activity.
