*WHO ARE WE*
Credo Ultimate Club is a Christchurch based Disc Ultimate Club that was founded in the early 2000s. Credo actively develops Ultimate for it's members and the wider community through regular squad training sessions, beginner-intermediate clinics, entering teams into local leagues and sending teams to compete in regional and national level tournaments. Our main focus is to actively prov
ide the opportunity for our players, coaches and administrators to develop in Ultimate and to reach their potential.
*OUR STRUCTURE*
We’ve worked hard over the last couple of months to work out the best way to structure the club, position ourselves to apply to become an incorporated society and to have a strategic plan that sets the clubs goals for the next two to four years. Once these are in place it will mean that we can run our own accounts, provide our members with improved resources over time, and gain credibility with external organisations which will be useful as our club grows.
*DIVISIONS*
We are viewing the NZ ultimate on-season as having two half-seasons, Mixed and Women’s/Open. This helps us to plan out the season as a whole club and work together. The Women’s/Open half-season has the ‘Credo Open Squad’ and the ‘Credo Women’s Squad’. We note that members of the club do not have to be involved in both half-seasons with Credo to be a member of the club. By having the three squads being part of the same club, it allows the values and the organisation for these different squads to be consistent.
*HISTORY
In the Mixed division it has been consistently the top performing Christchurch based side, most recently placing second at New Zealand Mixed Ultimate Champs (NZMUC) in 2015, and taking the championship in 2014. In 2016 Credo Mixed came 5th after a tough battle in the quarter finals. Although the end result was not what was anticipated for the team as the standard of Ultimate from the team was very high
In the Women’s division, the Chch Chicks placed first at Nationals 2017 granting them a bid to play at World Ultimate Club Championships in Ohio, USA in July 2018. The men’s team Dogma, came second and won spirit too at Nationals 2017. After nationals, Chch Chicks won spirit at Australia Nationals 2017.
*TOURNAMENTS*
Credo will host the Otautahi Classic (formally known as the Garden City Classic). This will take place in November. Credo Ultimate Club has also partnered with Canterbury Ultimate to deliver the 'Chalice City Classic', the third and final tournament in the NZU Summer Series.
