The Montclair Geese is an Ultimate Frisbee team nested in Montclair, New Jersey. And though we are high school students, we aren’t officially supported by Montclair High. That means, we do everything on our own. We pride ourselves on this independence – we are completely student-run and student-coached. At each practice, game and tournament, we fly and soar together.

What is Ultimate?

Ultimate is a unique sport. Teams of seven play against each other, trying to pass the disc up the field and catch in the endzone to score a point. The only ‘catch’ is that you can’t move while holding the disc. So you must pass it to your teammates. This is unique to Ultimate; it’s a game that is all about the team and good sportsmanship. In fact, the rules revolve around “Spirit of the Game,” a set of principles combining respect, honesty and fairness. These principles create an atmosphere where opponents can become friends while still being competitive. Ultimate is self-refereed; players resolve disputes and fouls themselves through a system of conflict resolution and collaboration.

Our History

The team started back in 2017 with only a few players who tossed the disc around every once in a while. The team began competing in 2019. Then, in 2020 we lost our seniors who made up a majority of the team and we were left with only ten players. We were a small program, few knew about us, and there weren’t even enough players to field a game. But look at us now! We’ve got two teams (Varsity and Junior Varsity), over forty kids, and are now an Official 501C3 Nonprofit organization! We won our first Big tournament last year at Born To Dive, and have continued our winning streak by winning Halloween Havoc and Spring Fling. Recently we also won our state tournament! This was a huge accomplishment as no team other than Columbia and Westfield have won in over twenty years! We are excited to see where the team goes and what we accomplish in the future.

Why We Need Your Support

Our team strongly believes in giving everybody a chance to play ultimate. We as a team go to many out of state and overnight tournaments that cost money. We also have other costs associated with equipment, such as jerseys and discs, along with paying our coach. We work with our sponsors to help pay for many of these things but it would be great if you could help us support our players! Your money will be well spent helping to give everybody a chance to play the sport of ultimate.

We are the Geese!

Like geese, we fly together to soar farther than any of us could alone.
Like geese, we take turns being at the front of the formation. It's up to us all to lead the way and do what needs to be done.
Like geese, we adjust the flock when one of us falls out of formation.
Like geese, those of us at the back of the V honk and encourage those in the front

Thank you for supporting our team!

SUPPORT THE MONTCLAIR GEESE!

We are a student run Ultimate team that believes cost should never prevent people from playing Ultimate.
