2026-2027 BHS Ultimate Frisbee Registration Instructions

BHS Coup runs all school year long from September to May. The Fall season includes practices and some scrimmages for all players, a tryout-based Mixed team that participates in League games, and in Spring all 4 of our teams participate in League games and tournaments.

*** Fall Mixed Team - Tryouts will be announced soon - In addition to the Fall practice season for all our players, BHS Coup does have one mixed team that will compete this fall. This team requires a tryout. If you are a male-matching player grades 10-12 or a female matching player 9-12, you are eligible to try out. The requirement is you will practice with the mixed team in addition to practicing with your single gender teams. There is a separate interest form for the mixed team that can be accessed here that you need to fill out before tryouts. All of this is in addition to completing the registration steps below.***

All players, new and returning, please read and complete all the steps.

Deadline for All Steps: Saturday, October 3

STEP 1: FILL OUT INTEREST FORM, INCLUDING MEDICAL FORM

If you are interested in playing Ultimate Frisbee at BHS this season, fill out this player interest form.

All interested players who fill out the form will receive information about our first practice and parent meeting on Saturday, September 19, where you can learn more about the season.
The interest form requires you to upload a completed medical form BEFORE the first practice/parent’s meeting. Players may not participate in ANY practices without first submitting this medical authorization form.
Students of all gender identities and all levels of ultimate frisbee experience are welcome and encouraged to join!

Yes, returning players DO need to fill out the interest form AND submit a medical authorization form.

NEXT, as soon as you are sure you want to join the team complete your registration by completing the steps below. The deadline to register is Saturday, October 3.

STEP 2: COMPLETE YOUR USA ULTIMATE MEMBERSHIP

All players need a USA Ultimate membership to play on BHS Coup. This is the org that provides our insurance and runs leagues and tournaments we participate in.

If you played last year at either BHS or your middle school, you probably already have a USAU account and an active membership that will be valid through December 2026. You can just sign in and retrieve your USAU ID here so that you have it handy for the TeamSnap step (Step 3).

If you've never had a USAU membership, you (player) will need to register here, and then add a Youth Intro Membership, which is a reduced price membership for $23, and will be valid until December 2026.

In Jan 2027, all Coup players will have to renew their USAU memberships. At that time, BHS Coup will pay for player registration fees that will cover players from Jan-Dec 2027.

You will need your USAU ID for Step 3, TeamSnap registration, so take care of this first.

STEP 3: COMPLETE YOUR REGISTRATION & PAY FEE (TEAMSNAP STEP)

We use TeamSnap to register players and for all team communications.

Go to the TeamSnap registration page and follow instructions very carefully.

**Annual fee** Berkeley High Coup (BHC) is a club team and not funded by BHS Athletics, therefore we have an annual registration fee to operate our program. BHC has grown into one of the largest high school ultimate programs in the Bay Area, with over 100 players across multiple teams competing at the highest levels of California high school play. That growth is something to be proud of! For many years the team has been using a budget surplus that had developed over the last ~5-10 years. This surplus is what kept our registration fees low. BHC has finally exhausted that surplus and thus the need to charge players what it costs to support the team's (parent volunteer lead) program functions.

It costs approximately $820 per player to participate in High Coup each year (see budget breakdown below). If you can pay the full amount, it significantly reduces our fundraising burden in the Spring and helps cover families who cannot. Depending on your banking institution, your payment will appear on your credit card or bank statement as one of the following: 'Spiders Ultimate LLC,' 'SPIDERS-BerkHighCoup' or 'SPIDERSBHC.'

We are asking for a first payment of $120 now. We will collect the remaining $700 at a later date.

No players will be turned away due to lack of funds, so if you need a team fee scholarship, please fill out the form at this LINK BEFORE you start your TeamSnap registration.
