The integrity of ultimate depends on each player’s responsibility to uphold the Spirit of the Game, and this responsibility should remain paramount. Highly competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of mutual respect among competitors, adherence to agreed upon rules, or the joy of play. By agreeing to play any of Knoxville Ultimate’s leagues, you agree to the following; 

• I agree to treat others with respect
• I will play in a way that is safe to myself and others on the field.
• I will communicate from a place of compassion and encouragement. 
• I will consider other people’s diverse backgrounds and treat everyone in our community with dignity no matter their race, religion, place of origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, economic status, or skill level. 
• I will refrain from using crude or abusive language. I agree to be a good steward of Knoxville Ultimate
• I will be a good citizen and follow all rules. 
• I will abide by the, “leave no trace,” axiom and pick up after myself and my teammates. 
• I will make space for all players to play in the position they choose. 
• I will support new teammates who are learning the sport and give them ample opportunities to grow. 

I understand that any infringement of the Code of Conduct will be reviewed by the Knoxville Ultimate Board, which may lead to an appropriate disciplinary measure including, but not limited to, suspension or expulsion from Knoxville Ultimate leagues and events.
