About Force

Force Elektro is a student Ultimate Frisbee club of Delft, offering opportunities for players of all levels, from beginners to national team athletes.

Force harbours several teams in the national Ultimate Frisbee competition, representing the club. They also host their annual tournament, Rising High, which attracts teams from around the world. In addition to competitive play they provide a range of opportunities for players to engage with the sport at all levels.

At Force Elektro, Ultimate Frisbee is just part of the experience. The club also organizes a variety of social activities, offering members the chance to make new friends and enjoy a strong community atmosphere both on and off the field.

History

Force Elektro was founded in 1993 by a group of ultimate frisbee enthusiasts in Delft. The club has since expanded its membership and achieved several milestones. It has grown to accommodate five different teams.

Team Structure

Open 1 Open 1 is Force Elektro's highest-ranking team. They became Dutch national champions in the 2019/2020 season. They know the game in and out and boast a high-paced, intense playing style.

Open 2 Open 2 is designed for players who are eager to improve their skills and commit more time to training. It maintains a competitive edge, focusing on refining techniques, building teamwork, and understanding advanced strategies. This is all thanks to guidance from experienced trainers who help bridge the gap to higher-level play.

Open 3 Open 3 offers a more relaxed environment for players who are newer to the sport or prefer a less demanding schedule. This team emphasizes learning the basics, gaining confidence, and enjoying the game.

Woman 1 Force Elektro Women 1 is Force Elektro's dedicated women’s team. Competing in the women’s division, this team brings together players passionate about improving their skills and representing Force Elektro. With a focus on teamwork, strategy, and the unique spirit of ultimate frisbee, Women 1 excels at integrating newer players while continuously striving for excellence both on and off the field.

Mixed 1 After the summer holiday, it’s time for the mixed season. Because most Forcies are away during the holiday practices, they usually only send one team to mixed competition. Points are played with three women and four men on the field or vice versa, the other team must have the same number of men and women.

5v5 During the mixed season, Force Elektro also fields teams in the 5v5 competition. The number of teams sent depends on player availability after the summer holidays, but typically averages at two teams.

Community and Outreach

Force Elektro is actively involved in promoting ultimate frisbee in the Netherlands. This is done by:

• Hosting clinics[2]
  • Clinics are trainings given by Force Elektro to businesses, associations, friend groups or any other group willing to play Ultimate.
• Organizing an annual international tournament.
  • Rising High [3] is Force Elektro's annual international tournament, first held in 2010. The event began as a small gathering at TU Delft with just nine open teams, primarily from the Netherlands and Germany. Over the years, it has grown into a prominent tournament, now hosting 32 teams annually from across Europe and beyond.
• Activities
  • Force Elektro isn’t just about Ultimate. They also organise lots of activities like club weekends, barnigths and exchanges with other associations.
