Joining Riverside means entering a competitive environment where ultimate frisbee is more than just a game—it's a passion. You'll join a close-knit group of players who love the challenge of competitive play. On the field, we focus on strategy, skill, and teamwork, pushing each other to excel. Off the field, we're a supportive community of friends. Riverside isn't just a team; it's an opportunity to be part of a group that shares your love for ultimate frisbee and your commitment to excellence.

Starting in 2024, Riverside is merging with our friends from Foxtrot, and will be creating a parent club that governs three Austin men's teams moving forward. We are excited at this transition and the opportunity it presents to grow the Riverside community, create greater connections between all of our members, and propel the competitive success of our top team. For more information see the Riverside Ultimate Club Charter.

Tryouts for Riverside and the to-be-named Second Team will occur at the Austin Ultimate Club Combine on April 28th and May 5th (postponed from 4/21 due to weather). Register at austinultimate.org/e/2024-club-combine. Messengers practices are open to any player who is willing to make a consistent time commitment & dedicate effort to developing as an individual and team.

Riverside will also be hosting an open practice for all players interested in any of our three teams on April 30th at Zilker Park from 6pm - 8pm. Come join us if you are trying out for any of our teams or are interested in developing with Messengers over the summer!

Practices will begin immediately folllowing tryouts for all three teams on Tuesday May 7th. Practices will be on Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings. Join the discord server for more information.
