We asked people who have attended the PVI why someone should attend. Here’s what they said:

Because it is the greatest tournament on earth. It is the Woodstock of Northeast ultimate tournaments!
Well organized & fun!
Positive experience for players and fans
Incredibly well organized and wonderful event coordinators
It’s a well run tournament that draws teams from all over!
Its highly competitive, with teams from all over the country competing
Its a fun event for all ages!
It’s a really fun tournament to play in and the tournament environment really fun!
It is a great tournament for playing many other people from who you normally play and to meet others and bond as a team
It is a fun way to watch ultimate on a high level and a play on whatever level you or your team is at
Someone should attend PVI because it’s really fun! Playing games against teams from all over was cool, and I got to meet people and make friends that I wouldn’t have if I hadn’t attended. It was pretty close to where I live, so it was a decent commute. I really liked that there was some time in between games so that I could rest, but I also like that we had more than one game per day because I LOVE PLAYING ULTIMATE!!! This was an amazing experience for me and I’m so glad that I got the chance to play in this tournament.
Great spirit and top-tier playing experience for the players, super fun and easy spectating experience for supporters. Free nutella and pb sandwiches for everyone? Yes, please.
Well organized. Environmental stewardship leading by example. A greater number of fair/level competition for all levels of teams.
Very fun event
The competition is amazing with teams from all over the place and the event sorted by leveled divisions. The tournament Central is amazingly well run.

H.S. teams should attend to compete and stretch their skills, watch the games, meet new ultimate disc players, expand their ultimate community network, embrace the Spirit of the Game, score new merch and work towards an invite to Nationals. Teams need a LOT of social, emotional and physical support to have great tournament experiences, so parents and spectators should attend to support their teams — sidelines boost energy on the field and add to the Spirit of the Game. Generally, spending the day outdoors in a beautiful landscape near the water, watching (and photographing) some seriously amazing ultimate disc games and cheering on the teams is a great way to spend a weekend!
Any high school team that wants to expose their players to playing ultimate at the “next” level should compete at PVI. It exposes players to more competitive ultimate with plenty of spirit and community.
It’s a really great opportunity to play a variety of different teams from different parts of the country that are also at different skill levels.
Phenomenal levels of play, athleticism, spirit, and organization. This is how you get someone “into” Ultimate!
Huge tournament with variety of players from different places and the competition is good.
Most fun we’ve had as a team with the road trip and billeting.
A well run tournament with top competition
It is always a lot of fun and you meet so many interesting and different people
It’s really fun to play teams from everywhere–and level of competition is however you want it to be.
PVI is a great event and well ran, as i have just been to my 4th event. Great facility, great people and great tournament
It was very competitive, very well setup, very fun, and displayed very high spirit
It’s a great way to start off the season. Plus super good organization and everyone is so nice and helpful
Great community and competition
PVI is a gem of a tournament. It is extremely well-organized and offers fun, highly competitive and high-spirited play with teams from near and far in the Eastern US and Canada.

FYI2025: Thank you!

Thank you all for making the 1st annual Fall Youth Invitational so, so special! The only thing that was better than the perfect weather was the absolutely stellar ultimate. I got to see every team play and I was so impressed by what I saw.

While the event is fresh in your mind, we’d appreciate it if you took a minute to fill out the Post-Tournament Survey. We’d love feedback from anyone that attended the event, or worked with any team that attended. The more feedback we get the better! Share this link with your whole team!

Congratulations to our winners!

FYI2025: How to speed through check in

All teams attending the Fall Youth Invitational this Saturday must check in at Tournament Central (TC) before the 8am coaches and captains meeting, which will also occur at TC near field 5.

Tips for how to fly through check in:

  • The only person that is required to be at check in is a team’s chaperone.
  • Please show up at TC by 7:45am at the absolute latest so you’ll have time to check in before the 8am coaches and captains meeting.
  • The chaperone needs to be prepared to show us their team’s medical authorization forms. Showing us digital scans is fine. We do not collect these forms.
  • The chaperone must bring their cell phone to check in. There will be a quick cell phone-based task for chaperones to complete at check in.

8:00am = A quick coaches and captains meeting at TC.

8:30am = Games begin!

FYI2025: Team Info

Here’s a bit of information about the 18 teams attending the 1st annual Fall Youth Invitational happening on October 25th at the Oxbow Marina in Northampton!

Amherst – Middle School: Open signup from our Intramural league, never played together as a team. Mix of 6th, 7th, 8th graders.
Four Rivers – Middle School: This is a young team with lots of beginner players, looking forward to catching the ultimate vibe!
Hopkinton – Middle School: Hop Middle School Ulti team is all 6th and 8th graders. We have a ton of fun and a ton of athleticism. We have been working hard on our game!! Our current team shirts have a picture of a Hurricane – we are the Hopkinton Hurricanes!
Vermont – Middle School: An excited bunch of Ultimate-playing Vermont middle schoolers.
Bard – Youth Female-Matching: Our team is fun, competitive, and diverse. We love to play frisbee, but we also love to meet new people, and make new friends through the sport.
Boston – Youth Female-Matching: Boston’s first high school girls team! (That we know of.). We made our debut at last spring’s PVI and are excited to return!
Four Rivers – Youth Female-Matching: Fast, playful, fierce and in sync — this team is like a raft of otters with a disc!
Lexington – Youth Female-Matching: We are a spirited and competitive team that loves to hustle on and off the field. Our mascot is a goose because geese travel in flocks, always leading and supporting one another during long flights.
Northampton – Youth Female-Matching: A great group of awesome ultimate players!
Vermont – Youth Female-Matching: We are a brand new team made up of players of all levels from all over Vermont. We are excited to learn and compete in this tournament. Many of the players will be playing in a tournament for the first time!
Big A – Youth Open: We are a passionate and friendly bunch of players that are hoping to have LOTS of fun!! we haven’t played a lot together as a team, but all have lots of previous ultimate experience.
Boston – Youth Open: We’re a citywide team from Boston, always happy for a chance to play on nice fields and meet other ultimate players!
BUDA U17 – Youth Open: BUDA U17 is a competitive club team that is focused on developing high school players who want to develop their frisbee skills while making friends across the state of MA. BUDA U17 program has been around since 2016. This year, BUDA U17 finished second in YCC (Youth club championship) tournament playing against some of the best teams in the country, the highest we have ever finished in the program’s history.
Four Rivers – Youth Open: This team has great spirit! To quote one of last year’s captains, this team loves to dig something up that nobody thought was going to be up.
Lexington – Youth Open: This team is very veteran-heavy, as we only graduated three players from last year’s team. They’re a talented team looking to make a name for themselves right out of the gate.
Lincoln-Sudbury – Youth Open: A hardworking team that puts spirit as our top priority. We try to focus on helping our new players understand the game and love the sport. Overall a fun team that emphasizes enjoying frisbee and playing as a team.
Vermont – Youth Open: 1st year team with a highly mixed skill level. Our goal is to develop players both in ultimate and as leaders and teammates. Ages range from 8th grade to high school seniors.
Xavier – Youth Open: This is a mixed team with Varsity players down to developmental. We are a fall intramural and using this to hopefully solidify the love of Ultimate in new players and give returning players a fall option.
