LunaDisc Ultimate Frisbee

LunaDisc Ultimate Frisbee is a year-round club sport at Smith that was founded in 1994 by Smith alums Meredith Martins (’97), Ingrid Carlson (’96), Emily Carlson (’96), and Elspeth Healey (’95). With varied levels of experience, the four came together in the winter of ’94 with the common endeavor of playing together and encouraging others to join them. Finding space in the gym during the winter months and finally moving outside during the spring semester of ’95, LunaDisc attended their first tournament, the “Spring Phling” at Penn State University, with optimism and enthusiasm. Still going strong after more than fifteen years, the team is open to all levels of experience and ability and encourages anyone interested in learning the game to join. LunaDisc is a traveling team and participates in scrimmages, games, and tournaments with a wide variety of other collegiate teams in New England. Since 2005 the team has been coached by Casey “Dale” Krone, a Hampshire alum and longtime Ultimate enthusiast. In addition to training and playing throughout both semesters, the team holds fundraisers and social events that help to subsidize their annual trip to Georgia for the inter-collegiate “High Tide” spring break tournament. The team has gone to sectionals each year and has advanced to both regionals and nationals in the last decade.
