Founded in 1976, Warwick Bears Ultimate Frisbee Club was among the first teams to arrive on non-American shores. Now in its 30th Anniversary year, the Bears have become the longest surviving team in Europe, and among the oldest in the world. Over the years the club has enjoyed varying amounts of success, having won both regional and national titles several times, and always being represented at National-level competitions, in open, women's and mixed divisions.

Warwick Bears are also famous for our packed social calendar, with weekly instalments of fun and frolics for all, organised by our hard-working social sec. Activities range from "circle" in the Union to ice-skating, bowling, disc golf, paintball and many more.

2006/2007 marks the recognition of Ultimate Frisbee by BUSA. What has always been a fast-paced, athletic team-sport now finally has the recognition it deserves. No longer can it be accused of not being a "real" sport!

What is Ultimate? Ultimate Frisbee is usually described as a cross between American Football and Netball. It is turn-based and played on a pitch with end-zones, like the former, and is non-contact and involves setting a pivot point, like the latter. Played both indoors and outdoors, it is open to anyone, male or female (or anywhere in between), regardless of experience, and gives you the chance to play all over the UK and even abroad, in what are arguably the most fun tournaments around.
