A rousing 7-on-7 pickup game of ultimate frisbee was underway at the Charles Koch Arena field on Monday evening during the Ultimate Frisbee Club’s weekly practice. Coach Kristoffer Broadley, seeing about 20 people on the sidelines, set up cones for another field, and a second game took shape.

It’s a far cry from what practices looked like two years ago, when the club struggled to attract even 10 players.

Broadley helped found the team in 2019, but after the COVID-19 pandemic shut down games for a year, the club was revived in 2021.
