Playing the Long Game

Our Executive Director, Rocky Beach, joins Bay Area Cares to talk about Ultimate Impact and how Ultimate Frisbee is helping Bay Area kids learn teamwork, build confidence, and grow, both on and off the field. As Rocky put it, "kids vote with their feet," and showing up week after week means something to them. He also shares a few stories from the program, including one about a student who's been with us since elementary school. Listen here more about the program and the kids behind it.

We are proud to partner with Stephen and Ayesha Curry's Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation to create accessible sports opportunities for Oakland youth, specifically at West Oakland Middle School. Our partnership ensured that Oakland middle school students have access to high-quality, inclusive sports programs that remove barriers and raise the bar regardless of their school or zip code. Check out their recent blog post highlighting our partnership.

“Your guidance shapes not just me as an athlete, but me in the real world to embrace the opportunities to inspires and lead.”

— Leslie, student

“After the first session, the students returned excited, prepared, and ready to learn. I have seen partners come and go due to a lack of dedication and commitment, but with Ultimate Impact, the partnership has been different. They truly care and love the youth and staff.”
