Help Salt Lake Shrimp go to Nationals

We are the Salt Lake Shrimp, a Men’s Ultimate Club team from Utah and we qualified for nationals last weekend in Corvallis, Oregon! We are one of only 16 teams in the country that earned their way to San Diego out of the 250 that competed this year. Founded in 2023, we began as a team looking to develop talent in Salt Lake City, but this year, we were fortunate enough to attract talent and commitment from across the state. The combination of last year’s efforts and this year's new Shrimp was enough to secure our spot as the second men’s team from Utah to ever make it to nationals.

We could not be more excited to keep playing frisbee with 25 of our closest friends, but we need your help! Nationals will be the most expensive and logistically challenging tournament we have attended in our short history. It’s a four day tournament in San Diego, CA starting on Thursday October 24th, and finishing Sunday the 27th. We are asking for help to alleviate the costs of bid fees, travel, housing, and anything else along the way.

We expect this tournament to cost just under $20,000 when we include individual player travel, but we don’t expect all of that to be covered by you. We understand that this tournament is a great privilege and plan on using as many of our own resources as possible. We have set the initial goal at $6,500 which will cover the team's entry fee to the tournament and help decrease some of the cost for our young team. Nationals will be a huge step forward in this club’s future and we would love to have you be a part of it.

Before we get down to business, here are some fun facts about this season’s Salt Lake Shrimp so you know a little bit more about who you are helping out:

Regardless of whether you choose to donate, we want to say thank you to everyone who believed in your friendly neighborhood Shrimp. Thank you to all our family, friends, teammates from past teams, coaches, and anyone else who cheered us on and supported us this season.
