We’d love to work with you to expand our tour to its broadest reaches.

What you can you expect from this tour?

Good question. We’re hoping to provide the most in depth coverage to date of College Ultimate. Look for our bi-Weekly podcasts kicking off in January and following every major tournament. Players to watch? Yup. Regional Previews? You bet. Make sure your video is in focus because your game might just be featured as The Game of the Week.

Coverage begins in January with an opening podcast where more details will be revealed.
