Girls' Ultimate Movement
The Girls’ Ultimate Movement (GUM) empowers and inspires girls to become leaders through the sport of ultimate and by embracing the principles of Spirit of the Game.
Currently, only 1 in 4 youth ultimate players is a girl. With your help, we can give girls opportunities to participate in ultimate.

Spirit Awards

The Kathy Pufahl Spirit Award
Each women’s team that qualifies for the USA Ultimate National Championships nominates one player from their team who best exemplifies both the ethos of the SOTG, along with a personal commitment to giving back to the sport. Each team at the National Championships casts a vote for one of the nominees, taking into account who has exhibited personal responsibility, integrity, and selfless contribution to ultimate, combined with a high standard of playing ability.
The athlete with the most votes is awarded the Kathy Pufahl Spirit Award at the National Championships.
The Farricker Spirit Award
