Charles Wright’s ultimate program was created in 2001 and has grown with vigor ever since. In recent yeras more than 70 Middle School and 40 Upper School students have turned out to play in interscholastic, club and international tournaments. The co-ed Middle School Ultimate team took 3rd out of 40 teams at the 2011 Spring Reign Tournament, the largest youth Ultimate tournament in the world.
Ultimate combines the non-stop movement and athletic endurance of soccer with the aerial passing skills of football. A game of Ultimate is played by two seven-player squads with a high-tech plastic disc on a field similar to football. The object of the game is to score by catching a pass in the opponent’s end zone. A player must stop running while in possession of the disc, but may pivot and pass to any of the other receivers on the field. Ultimate is a transition game in which players move quickly from offense to defense on turnovers that occur with a dropped pass, an interception, a pass out of bounds, or when a player is caught holding the disc for more than ten seconds.
There are no referees at any level of ultimate. The sport is governed by Spirit of the Game™, a tradition of sportsmanship that places the responsibility for fair play on the players rather than referees.
"The best part of coaching ultimate is watching kids compete with incredible passion and determination. I love to see how they develop the patience and understanding to play honestly and referee their own games,” says Coach Christopher Hoppin. “It is wonderful to see two opposing players stop and work out a foul call, decide who was at fault, work out how to deal with the offence based on the rule book, all without adults. I have never seen a sport that builds better sportsmanship. There is no one to blame in ultimate!"
CWA has a short, but strong ultimate history. In 2006 and 2010 the Tarriers Middle School team won the prestigious Spring Reign International tournament. In 2011 the Upper school team won their division at Spring Reign! This is the largest youth tournament in the world with over 80 teams and 2,000 players attending.
The school’s first official Upper School Ultimate club formed in 2008. During the 2011-12 year teams from 6th - 12th grade will compete in multiple interscholastic games and tournaments. Many graduates are playing at the college level. Just recently the NCAA recognized ultimate as an official collegent sport, scholarship are rumored to be on the horizon!
