Cambridge is one of the hotspots of Ultimate in the UK, and there are many teams based in the area. Many of the teams share infrastructure (like this website), and we share most practices, so it can be difficult figuring out which team does what.

The organization of most Ultimate in Cambridge is done via the Cambridge University Ultimate Club, which runs this website. Though a University of Cambridge society, the committee also includes town/non-student representatives, as well as the Cambridge Ultimate Club Captains, and so is responsible for Cambridge Ultimate as well. All accounting and administration for Strange Blue and Cambridge Ultimate goes through this committee. This committee is also in charge of practices, outreach events, and socials for the ultimate community in Cambridge, which are usually not team-specific and open to all.
