There’s some exciting news within USN’s Ultimate Frisbee program.

Each year, we host the River Campus Classic tournament that brings competing teams from Georgia, Tennessee, and Kentucky. 

This year, working with USA Ultimate, our tournament will be recognized as a national qualifier. The winner automatically goes to the national championship, raising the status of our tournament to the national level. Now, USN will host teams competing from North Carolina, Utah, Ohio, Arkansas, Colorado, Arkansas, Alabama, Texas, Georgia, Kentucky, and Tennessee.

The River Campus Classic tournament will be held on April 6 and Sunday, April 7.  We encourage you to attend and support our student-athletes, who call themselves “Brutal Grassburn.”

  • Our sport creates a strong community shown not only by our annual reunion but also within our teams.
