ABOUT YCC
USA Ultimate's Youth Club Championships has been the pinnacle of youth ultimate since its inaugural year in 2005. Beginning in 2010, the Bay Area began sending all-star teams to this tournament to represent the Bay Area’s best. Teams from the Bay Area have already claimed gold four times — most recently in 2024, when Belly of the Beast was crowned champions of the U17 Girls division. Additionally, Belly of the Beast won the Team Spirit Award in 2018 and California Current won it in 2023.
EFE SCHOLARSHIP
The Efe Ustenci Scholarship Fund was established in 2016 to honor the memory of Efe Ustenci, a Berkeley High student who passed away shortly after graduation. Efe was an incredible player, leader, and friend in the ultimate community.
