Drag'n Thrust Statement of Equity:

​Drag’n Thrust is committed to practicing hard, showcasing the abilities of all athletes, community involvement, and spirit of the game. Equitable opportunities for all genders is something we value as a representative of the mixed division and as a member of the Minnesota ultimate community. We believe gender equity is critical to strengthening and growing the community, while also ensuring the sport of ultimate remains an inclusive and welcoming sport for female athletes. We support gender equity across all age ranges and divisions and are committed to growing ultimate in ways that continue to value equity and fair play by:

• Promoting youth events (particularly girls events) while also being proactive in seeking opportunities to volunteer at, partner with, participate at, and schedule around those events.
• Instilling our stance on equity and setting expectations within the team early each season, and addressing change throughout each season to support the direction of equity movements
• Adding our stance and expectations of gender equity to our existing internal team values
• Continuing to implement on-field strategies that are inclusive of women to help drive the team’s success
• Enacting a no-tolerance policy for any inappropriate/sexist language and behavior
• Communicating the expectation that as a member of Drag’n Thrust, these values will be practiced not only at regular team activities but within the ultimate community (i.e. coaching, league play, volunteering, clinic participation, other teams, etc.)
