Lastly, we would like to extend a huge thank you to our amazing women's team @betty_gone_wild on IG for inspiring this post and for always encouraging us to grow as a team and as a community. -RamJam ultimate frisbee

. . . will do to encourage diversity in our sport and on our team specifically, we will continue to provide updates on our plans and actions as we work to educate ourselves and work to make our team a more accessible and diverse space.

RamJam recognizes that reflecting on these questions is a good start but we must do more. We need to change. As we move into the next semester, we will not forget this commitment to change and self improvement. While we do not have all of the answers now on what exactly we . . .

. . . the world of ultimate? (And to that end, programs like USAU’s Play It Forward and DISCNW‘s youth development in Seattle are very good starts, but they are only a start.) (taken from ultiworld.com/2018/01/12/on-…)

Are we committed to seeing ultimate become a sport that looks more like our country and our world? How can our institutions (USA Ultimate, the AUDL, local leagues) do more to break down barriers to entry and create more opportunities for athletes of color to take part in . . .

What institutional biases from the rest of our country and our world work their way into ultimate that we could deliberately unpack and address? How can my actions as a player / coach / spectator / fan of ultimate create a more inclusive atmosphere for all players?

We must begin by sincerely reflecting on why it is that our team lacks diversity. Other questions that we must think about include: What is there structurally about ultimate in the US that keeps it from becoming a more diverse sport?

We are not a very diverse team. As we approach a new school year, our team leadership recognizes that we need to work harder to encourage diversity on our team and to change our team culture to make it more open to students of color and especially black students.

Black Lives Matter. The ultimate community historically has not been a diverse community, while the community at large is attempting to diversify participation in the sport. We have a long way to go. RamJam as an organization recognizes that we are part of the problem.

The following thread contains an extended statement regarding Ramjam’s stance on recent events regarding racial justice in the U.S., and improvements that we can make as a team to be more inclusive in ultimate frisbee community.

I was gonna write a long winded tweet saying goodbye to this account, but I couldn’t think of the words, so I’ll just say thank you to ultimate twitter, Wooster twitter, and all the followers who made my day with a like or retweet. Also follow me @MasonGM2
