 Equity Statements

Picture
For our first statewide project GUPI worked with Minnesota club teams to draft and publish equity statements. We contacted every club team in Minnesota and worked with them to create an equity statement that would ensure equity within the team, commit to working with the Minnesota Ultimate community, and partner with GUPI to support, promote, and advocate for girls in Ultimate. 

The statements were created by each team as a public commitment to promoting equity and as a resource that they can use to grow and support their own community. 

This is a progressive step for Minnesota Ultimate.  Our state is the first to have a community of Ultimate players who have publicly committed to taking actions steps towards making this sport more inclusive and equitable. 

Use this page to read the equity statements of MN club teams, find resources for drafting your own statement and getting ideas for engaging your own ultimate community. ​

Climax Ultimate Equity Statement

Picture

Climax is a high-level open club ultimate team from the Twin Cities. Below is a copy of their 2017 Gender Equity Statement:

We are excited to work with GUPI and motivated to be a part of building unity and growth in the community.  We believe that no athlete is inherently less valuable and that, historically, female athletes have not been equally valued.  We believe that as a club team representing our community we have a duty to act equitably in an aim to reverse gender-­biases in our sport.  We believe that the long term success of our team depends on the strength of our community and that our community is strengthened by promoting girls and women in ultimate.
 
We commit to a zero-tolerance policy for inappropriate/sexist language and behavior.  We have established a gender equity committee within our team who will identify any inappropriate/sexist language and behavior, and address these comments at the individual and team levels.  We plan to address gender equity in team meetings and actively create an environment that is progressive and reflective.
 
We commit to supporting MN women's teams during women's games and tournaments.  We are proud of our teammates who currently coach youth women's ultimate.  We commit to supporting them and to actively look for opportunities to connect teams in need of coaches with quality candidates.
 
We believe that by advancing its stance on gender equity throughout our community, GUPI is displaying great leadership, making a strong commitment to ending gender­-bias, and elevating the status of ultimate as a sport that challenges historic boundaries of exclusion. We hope to work with GUPI towards achieving this goal.
