Discover Fun with Frisbee at Whakatū Ultimate

Prepare to dive into an exciting and inclusive sport with Whakatū Ultimate, where the thrill of frisbee brings people together every Sunday afternoon at Tahunanui Beach in Nelson. Whether you’re a seasoned player or a complete beginner, this non-contact, self-refereed team sport welcomes men and women of all ages. Sessions kick off at 3:00pm in summer and 2:00pm in winter, lasting around 90 minutes. Best of all, it’s free to join, making it an accessible way to stay active and meet new friends. You don’t need any prior experience—just show up at the scheduled time for warm-up passes before teams are formed and the game begins on a marked-out field.

Now, let’s talk about what makes Ultimate special. Played on a rectangular field with end zones, the goal is to score by catching a pass in the opposing team’s end zone. Players must stay in one spot when holding the disc but can pass in any direction to teammates. It’s easy to learn, and as a first-timer, you’ll usually be placed on a team to jump right in—though sometimes you might wait if player balance is needed. Beyond the game, Whakatū Ultimate also offers Frisbee Golf, adding variety to your Sunday fun. This club fosters a strong sense of community, encouraging social bonds while promoting fitness. 🏃‍♂️🌀

Come along and experience the joy of teamwork and outdoor activity. It’s a fantastic way to unwind, get moving, and connect with others in Nelson. No gear is required—just bring enthusiasm and comfortable shoes. Check the club website for updates, and get ready to toss that frisbee with a welcoming crew who’s all about having a good time.
