Directions
Winter League is back, and it’s looking clearer than ever that LA has some of the best Ultimate. Join us for our first flagship league of the season. This year, the league features 6v6 play in two different divisions: a mixed 3/3 bring-your own team division and an open hat division. Both will culminate with a tournament at the beginning of April.

COVID RESTRICTIONS AND VACCINATIONS:
Waivers: Waivers maybe required with the ever changing COVID severity. If they are required, they will need to be filled out through Ultimate Central at least 24 hours in advance of gameplay. This would be a requirement to ensure everyone has signed all required waivers for the city/county and LAOUT, and so that we have accurate contact tracing in place should someone report they have contracted COVID-19.
COVID Vaccination: COVID Vaccines ARE REQUIRED for Winter League 2022 and for all future leagues. All players will be required to upload a photo of their vaccination card into Ultimate Central during registration as proof of vaccination. Our number one priority for LAOUT members is safety so we hope that this revised policy creates a safe environment for all players to have some fun as we get back into our regular league schedule.
We are also recommending that everyone receives their booster shot prior to the first week of games.
COVID Restrictions are subject to change and will be updated with the changing seasons and severity of COVID in the LA area. Please respect the potential decisions that are made by the LD and the LAOUT Board as safety of our members is the number one priority!
SUB POOL: In an effort to keep games fun and competitive, we will be running a sub pool for our LAOUT Members.
