“The only professional women’s Ultimate Frisbee league in the world is getting bigger.
The Premier Ultimate League (P.U.L.) — which I wrote about earlier this year in The New York Times — announced Tuesday it will expand by four teams in 2020.
The Minnesota Strike, Milwaukee Monarchs, Portland (Maine) Rising and Washington D.C. Shadow will join the eight existing teams in the PUL to form a 12-team league in 2020. The league will break into an East Division and a Central Division and will compete in a five-game regular season.
The eight existing teams from the inaugural 2019 season will all return: Atlanta Soul, Austin Torch, Columbus Pride, Indianapolis Red, Nashville Nightshade, New York Gridlock, Medellin Revolution and Raleigh Radiance. The league features one South American team, the Revolution, who won the league’s inaugural title in 2019.
The P.U.L. brands itself as a “Womxn’s Professional Ultimate” league, spelling women with an “x” in an effort to be inclusive to those who identify as transgender, gender nonconforming or non-binary.”
