Facilities


The backdrop for every playing experience is the playing surface itself, and at elite levels, available ancillary training facilities for peak fitness and performance training. The availability of Ultimate-only fields and multi- use fields in Canada has been improving steadily over the last 5 years, but facilities development needs to be continued.


Shortcoming


Long-term strategy for infrastructure development often does not exist and facility needs are not prioritized.


High-quality facilities remains limited for many small and remote communities (e.g. field turf, indoor, regular fields).


Facility scheduling does not always share time adequately.


Access to programs at all ages is sometimes limited.


Best facilities are often offered to league (paying) members before elite or developing elite teams.


Historical bookings often preclude Ultimate organizations and teams from gaining access to facilities being used by long-standing sports.


Inappropriate facilities create a less enjoyable game experience (i.e. playing a gym or on a bad/restricted field).


Exposure to Ultimate is inhibited by the availability of facilities.


Touring teams are unable to find available and high quality practice fields. Often forced to practice on sub-par fields that limit what training can be completed.


Impact


Lack of field availability year-round especially in parts of the country exposed to harsh winter conditions.
