Showcasing more than just a game— Starting with the Next Generation
If we want Ultimate to have a future in the sports landscape, we need to invest in youth programmes today. Without direct investment in youth Ultimate, the future of the sport is uncertain. Furthermore, without action and knowledge sharing, we risk losing the next generation of players entirely. Veenendaal, a strong community and previously hosting the 2017 EYUC invites the Netherlands, Belgium and close parts of Germany for a frisbee festival and ULTI.TV (40 min drive from European HQ) will be there to showcase it.
Valley Frisbee GamesThe Mission
Without direct investments youth Ultimate will shrink. Without action, we risk losing the next generation of players entirely. Mission 02 wants to reverse this trend by collaborating with Veenendaal Tijgers and Stichting Jeugd Ultimate Frisbee to broadcast the most fun youth tournament in Europe: “The Valley Frisbee Games”. This day will be something more, it will be the start of creating a movement to grow youth Ultimate across the continent.
This mission is about more than just one event—it's about investing in the future of our sport by showcasing that it's fun and fair.

Why This
Matters
What makes this tournament truly special? The Spirit of the Game! Winning is cool, but sportsmanship, respect, and having fun together come first in Ultimate frisbee. Teams choose for themselves who deserves that special Spirit Award — and believe us, the emotion when you win it is often even better than the trophy. Naturally, 2026 will once again be all about new rivals, old friends, and frisbee moments you won’t want to miss. Beginners can simply join in, experienced players will show off great plays, and everyone feels welcome — from U11 to U24 (and even pick-up players who spontaneously join in). This mission addresses a critical need in the Ultimate community. By supporting youth Ultimate today, we ensure: ✅ Young players stay excited and engaged with the sport they love. ✅ New youth are attracted to Ultimate through exciting events and content. ✅ Clubs have resources to grow their own youth programs. ✅ The Ultimate community becomes stronger and more connected. ✅ Ultimate Frisbee becomes a sustainable and established part of the sports landscape.
