Club Background

Maties Ultimate, previously known as Stellenbosch Ultimate, was founded from a group of university students and alumni and became an official university sports club in 2012. 

Maties Ultimate participated in their inaugural tournament at Mixed Nationals in April 2012 and since has steadily improved. The overall highlights have been finishing 3rd at Mixed Nationals 2024 and a 2nd place finish for the Maties Women's Ultimate team at Open/Women's Nationals 2015.

Official home field is nowadays known as the Woestyn and is on the Coetzenburg sports grounds next to the Cricket B-field.


Club Ethos

At all times, we strive to represent the University of Stellenbosch to the best of our ability.

Casual ethos: We love the game of ultimate and we love making friends. 

Competitive ethos: On the Ultimate field we strive to have both excellent sportsmanship and a competitive spirit. We do not play as individuals but give all that we can for the larger Maties team whose ultimate goal is to win championships. 


What kind of player would be a good fit with your club?

We have something for everyone. We have two training sessions per week, where we focus on both beginner and advanced Ultimate skills and strategy.

Casual: For beginners who have no idea how to throw a frisbee, just a casual joll with mates

Intermediate: Can throw reliably at around 10 to 15 meters. Has some familiarity with the game of Ultimate and its structures. Not super competitive but far less chaos than casual. 

Residence League: Ultimate but ignoring all those annoying parts about no contact.

Women’s: The “No Boys Allowed” club, passionate about developing and playing Women's Ultimate.

Competitive: High level ultimate, knowledge of multiple offence and defence structures. Very fit.
