Who: In order to participate in the U17 team, players must be 16 or younger on December 31, 2026 (be 16 or younger all of 2026)
Are there cuts? We believe strongly in growth and development, and will guarantee all players the ability to participate in practices. If interest is high enough (like it was last year), we will hold tryouts for roster spots. In this case, we will have a tournament roster and additional practice players.
- We cannot guarantee equal playing time in each game, but will work hard to balance playing time as much as possible over the course of a tournament.
- Those who do not make the team are welcome to continue to practice with us and grow throughout the season! Any players who do not make the competitive/tournament team will pay a lower price.
Practices: Our practices will be open to all U17BMPs who register, regardless of if they make the competitive team or not. Practices will be on Thursdays and Sunday evenings at Northwest Open Space in June & July.
Playing Opportunities: Our competitive U17 team will have the opportunity to participate in:
- Additional tournament opportunity TBD
- Youth Club Championships (YCC)- July 31-August 3 (Friday-Monday) at Aurora Sports Park
Please note that the ability to compete in tournaments relies on having at least 15 players for midseason tournaments and at least 18 for YCC.

Hello! My name is Fiona and I am so excited to coach cutthroat again this year. I started playing ultimate in college at the University of Georgia. I moved to Colorado in 2025 for graduate school at CU Boulder, where I played for Quandary. For club, I’ve played for a few teams including Atlanta Ozone, Murmur, Mile High Trash, and this year I am playing Molly Brown. Outside of frisbee, I am an 8th grade social studies teacher and I love reading and cooking.

This is my first year coaching Cutthroat and I am super excited! I’ve been coaching middle school ultimate for a few years and I’m excited to level up to this group of high schoolers. I graduated from Colorado State University and was captain for 2 years. I have also played on a bunch of club teams, including Mile High Trash and Sockeye. Besides ultimate my goal is to become a teacher at a Deaf school, and I love reading and cooking.
