A bit of history
The Club d’Ultimate des Gones was founded in 2016 in Lyon by three Ultimate Frisbee enthusiasts:
The three were supported in their approach by
What is the objective of the founding members? Sharing their passion for Ultimate while promoting its core values: a mixed, self-officiated and non-contact sport, which grants importance to fair-play with a focus on tolerance, respect and a friendly atmosphere.
Today
In 2023 the club gathers more than 70 members, organises one training sessions a week and will present 3 teams for the indoor federal championship – one of which will play in National 3 division – as well as four teams during the outdoor season.
In accordance with the founding members’ objective, every profile is welcome to join the Gones: beginner or experienced, leisure or competition, all those who share the Spirit of the Game and the will to have a good time!
The club organised its first tournament, the Conflu’Hat, in June 2017 and reiterated the experience in October 2019. We also received a phase of the Mixed championship in 2018 and the Open championship in 2022.
