Event Inclusion Policy and Respect for All Participants

 

Participants and all attendees at USA Ultimate events are expected to adhere to the USA Ultimate Code of Conduct, which includes, but is not limited to, the expectation to:

  • Foster an inclusive environment for all members of the community, no matter race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, or a mental, physical, or sensory disability. 
  • Participants will not engage in or condone any form of discrimination or harassment.
  • Participants will not threaten, bully, or express themselves in a way that infringes on the freedom of others.


USA Ultimate’s Gender Inclusion Policy governs participation around gender, gender identity and sexual orientation.


There will be players attending the event who identify as LGBTQIIA+. The gender a player identifies as is considered that player’s gender. Agender, gender non-conforming (GNC), genderqueer, transgender, or gender fluid players are encouraged to join teams and match up with the players that they feel most comfortable playing with and marking. No coach or player should be asked to explain or justify their identity. Players are trusted to participate where they are most comfortable.


Any team, player, coach, spectator or other attendee that uses anti-LGTBQIA+, trans-phobic, racist or sexist language, or otherwise violates the USA Ultimate Code of Conduct should be reported to USA Ultimate staff. Such behavior will not be tolerated and will be subject to sanctions as outlined in the Code of Conduct.


Behavior that violates the Code of Conduct may be reported as outlined in USA Ultimate’s Event Disciplinary Authority (EDA) Guidelines. At the Youth Club Championships, the EDAs are the USA Ultimate Competition Manager and Managing Director. Reports may be made at tournament headquarters at any time, or if assistance is needed during a game, event volunteers can contact a member of the USA Ultimate staff via radio.


At event registration, each team representative will be asked to sign off on a form (Event Inclusion Policy Agreement), confirming that:

  • This policy has been communicated with their team and anyone who might be attending the event in support of the team, such as expected spectators, players’ parents/guardians, other family, friends, etc.
  • Their team, including players, coaches, chaperones, team support, etc., understands and will be in compliance with this policy.
 
Inclement Weather Planning and Response

Medical and Inclement Weather Plan (click here)

 

In the event that the fields need to be cleared due to dangerous weather events, such as lightning, there are no buildings at the Aurora Sports Complex that teams can use to shelter in, nor any large stores or public buildings nearby enough that teams can walk. 


Given this, please plan accordingly and keep vehicles at the complex or nearby enough that you can get your teams off the fields into vehicles quickly in case of adverse weather. 

 

 

Spectator Parking and Admissions:

Pay-What-You-Can Plan


We want to keep the U.S. Open affordable for spectators, based on people’s different financial circumstances, while also promoting the value of the event experience and the many programs and services that our local host, Altitude Ultimate (AU), and USA Ultimate provide to the community. 

 

Spectators are asked to use this link (or the venmo QR code in the image) to pay their admissions fee before or during the event. (This information will also be handed out in the form of a flier and posted elsewhere at the event.)

 

The fee is flexible, and the following suggestions are a framework to consider:

 

I can pay more = $20/day, $60/whole event

I can pay the regular rate = $15/day, $45/whole event

I can pay less = $10/day, $30/whole event

 

Please pass this information along to parents/guardians and other spectators and supporters. All revenue from admissions fees goes towards funding Altitude Youth Ultimate and USA Ultimate’s missions to support and grow the ultimate sport and community. Thank you!

 

*Players, coaches, and children under 12 are not expected to pay admissions. 

 

 

SAFETY NOTE: Please avoid leaving valuables visible in vehicles, and keep all doors locked.
