We're thrilled to announce that our coaching staff for the 2021 Winter Cup will include:

  • Co-Head Coach Tania Reitz (Returning from 2020)

  • Co-Head Coach Bryce Merrill (Returning from 2020)

  • Coaching Intern Aaron Liu (New for 2021-2022!)

    • Aaron (pronouns he/him and they/them) grew up in Madison, WI and is now a junior at Boise State. "My goals for this internship are to learn from a great organization and help grow ultimate in the mountain west, and I'm excited to work alongside a stellar coaching staff and group of athletes!"

Sponsoring the Utah Wild:

The Utah Wild is seeking value-aligned sponsors and donors to support our 2021 and 2022 seasons!

Are you involved with or do you know any companies, local businesses, or individuals who value opportunities for women and gender-diverse people in sports and leadership? These relationships may take many forms, and the Wild is seeking the following forms of donations:

  • Financial gifts

  • In-kind product or service-based donations that offset our costs

  • Discounts on products, travel, hotels, etc.

  • Social media co-promotional relationships

  • Event support or partnership

  • Affiliate programs or relationships

Sponsoring the Utah Wild provides companies with an opportunity to showcase their brand to a strong sports fan market and support women's sports. We are looking forward to forming new long-lasting partnerships with both local and national businesses. Any connections that you (yes, you!) can help us make with potential sponsors helps to make our vision for professional sports possible!


Snapshots from "Tempest vs. the West": July 30th, 2021

At the end of July, fellow WUL-member Seattle Tempest hosted a showcase game where their 2021 roster faced off against a team of players who came together from other Western Ultimate League teams, including six of our very own Utah Wild players: Vespera Aragon, Cori Bingham, Bert Cherry, Kyra Khoroujnikova, Rebecca "Makk" Kestin, and Lucy Williams.
