Goaltimate Testimonials
What players are saying.
"Goaltimate rules..... period!"
Steve Mooney
Boston... Ultimate King
"As a lad my passions were whiffleball and driveway half court b-ball. Having 5 kids from 3 to 8 years old, its obvious to me that Goaltimate will become the suburban sport of choice for my family, my neighborhood and their generation."
Jim Herrick,
Member of the 1982 and 1983 National/World
Ultimate Champions Boston Rude Boys
"I have played a number of individual and team sports during my life. I can say without any hesitation that Goaltimate is the most exhilarating sport of them all! You must have terrific foot speed and be able to sustain it with incredible endurance. You need tremendous hand-eye coordination and be able to strategize and execute on the move. Goaltimate is for the highly fit athlete that enjoys a sport that provides variety and uniqueness with every goal."
Steve Ferguson
Captain, San Diego, California
Participant in seven UPA National Tournaments,
and two WFDF World Tournaments
"Up until now Goaltimate has been the hidden treasure of San Diego disc enthusiasts. I was fortunate enough to get to play once while visiting a friend, and I can tell you that once the rest of the country gets turned on to Goaltimate, it'll spread like wildfire. It's fast, furious, and the action is non-stop! See you in June..."
Kenny Dobyns

"The great thing about this sport is that it's just starting out. We're all on an even playing field in terms of experience. Nobody has the advantage over anyone else. Start playing it soon so that YOU can be the one walking away with all the cash in June!"

"I have to hand it to him, Rick Conner has gotten my attention! He said, 'Hey Cribber, come play in my Goaltimate tourney.' So I said 'Why?' He said, 'The finals will be on ESPN and I am putting on a first class event.' So I am like 'Yeah, so?' Then he says 'Oh, did I mention the 30,000 other reasons?'............See ya in San Diego!"

"I enjoy Goaltimate because many of the disc skills and certainly the endurance required translate directly from Ultimate. The addition of a five second stall count and the dynamics of goal scoring opportunities adds another whole dimension to the decision making process. What a f*@!ing hoot."
Matthew Lefevre
Co-captain of Santa Barbara Condors,
participant in four UPA Collegiate Nationals,
two UPA club Nationals,
two time Collegiate National Champion,
1998 Open National Runner-Up.
"Goaltimate looks like a fast-paced, exciting game that should appeal to any serious Ultimate player."
Bob Byrne
Executive Director, UPA
"What started as a game we played when we didn't have enough guys for Ultimate has become the Game of Choice. The sport combines the two games I love the most - Ultimate Frisbee and Basketball. See you on the field."
Jim "Daddy" Ingebritsen
San Diego, California
Member of 1985 National/World Champions Flying Circus,
Participant in eight UPA National Tournaments
"One of my favorite things about playing Ultimate has always been the spontaneous generation of new games that can be played within the parameters which a disc gives rise to. While I have played Goaltimate before, I've never played it with the prospect of winning many thousands of dollars-that is an exciting concept. I believe this tournament will be a great contest, as it will test many ultimate players ability to adapt their skills with a disc to a whole new set of constraints, and to compete against players which have already honed their disc skills, within this Goaltimate context. It should be really fun and interesting…"
Scott Lipscomb
Member of 1995 World Champions Double Happiness, Participant in
six UPA National Tournaments
and three WFDF World Tournaments
"Goaltimate is a very challenging and fast-paced sport. It takes a while to learn how to get the disc at the correct angle so you can kick it through the uprights. However, once you master this subtle skill you will experience such a high that you too will be HOOKED ON GOALTIMATE!"
Brian "Biscuit" Morris
Member of 1995 World Champions Double Happiness, Participant in eight
UPA National Tournaments and three WFDF World Tournaments
"Quite simply, Goaltimate is the king of disc sports. Anyone who doubts this hasn't played it!"
