Welcome to Whakatū Ultimate in Nelson
Nothing beats the thrill of a frisbee soaring through the air, and at Whakatū Ultimate, we’re passionate about bringing that excitement to the Nelson community. As a dedicated sports club, we focus on Ultimate frisbee, a non-contact, self-refereed team sport that’s perfect for men and women of all ages. Played on a rectangular field with end zones, the goal is to score by catching a pass in the opposing team’s end zone. It’s easy to pick up, completely free to play, and offers a fantastic way to stay active while having fun. We also offer Frisbee Golf for those looking to mix things up. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned player, our club welcomes everyone to join in the action.
Nestled in the heart of Tāhunanui, Nelson, our club meets every Sunday afternoon at 3:00 pm (or 2:00 pm in winter) for games and camaraderie. We play at Tāhunanui Beach, right out from The Beach Cafe if the tide is low, or on the nearby playing fields behind the tennis courts if the tide is high or it’s too windy. Nelson’s stunning coastal backdrop makes every game a memorable experience, with the sandy beach or lush fields providing the perfect setting for Ultimate frisbee. Our location in the Nelson City district ensures easy access for locals and visitors alike, making it a breeze to come along and get involved in this vibrant sport.
What to Expect at Whakatū Ultimate
Joining a game with Whakatū Ultimate is simple and welcoming. Turn up at the scheduled time, and you’ll see players arriving for warm-up passes before a field is marked out and teams are decided. As a beginner, you’ll often be placed on a team to jump straight into the action. However, if we don’t have another newish player to balance the teams, you might need to wait a bit—team balance is key to a fair and fun game. When you’re in, you’ll experience the fast-paced nature of Ultimate frisbee, where players must stay in one spot when holding the disc but can pass in any direction to a teammate. A turnover happens if a pass is incomplete, switching possession to the other team.
