Meet Your Captains
Our captains goals are to help players grow and to create a spirit of inclusiveness among all frisbee players
Zach & Michelle
Zach and Michelle first met playing Gainesville pickup in 2009, though each had been playing for many years prior to even that. They’ve been active in various areas of Florida ultimate for well over a decade. From captaining league teams, coaching college groups and competing with various club teams, their combined frisbee experience is vast (i.e. they’re old). Outside of ultimate, Zach is a software developer and spends his days staring at a screen. Michelle works as a veterinarian and reportedly pets puppies and kittens all day. When they’re not on the field, they’re chasing two toddlers in opposite directions, and you will see both little minions at the fields each week.
Jemima & Quinn
Jemima is the swaggiest person you’ll meet tbh. Jemima grew in the swamp fr and has been in Gainesville all her life (please someone get her outta here). ANYWAYS. She currently plays for UF’s FUEL and Gainesville’s Tabby Rosa. She has been playing ultimate for 4 years and it has consumed her life. As an ambidextrous baddie, she usually handles but cuts when need be. Aside from frisbee, Jemima partakes in powerlifting, rock climbing, and finding her husky, Juno, every time she escapes her collar. Quinn is the second swaggiest person you’ll meet tbh and is from Chicago. She has been playing frisbee for around 4 years and currently plays on UF’s Fuel. Quinn is a psychology major at UF and is minoring in Spanish and business so she loves to (attempt) to speak Spanish. In her free time, Quinn likes to do arts and crafts, yap, eat ice cream, and go to concerts. She loves frisbee and likes to cut for the most part and make up new throws. Jemima and Quinn are a dynamic duo and hope to win league with team AWESOME!
Fletcher & Barker
Justin Fletcher has been in Gainesville most of his life and has been playing ultimate for 20 years now (yes I’m kinda old). He joined Gainesville ultimate in 2010-2011 and loves everything about it! This is his second time captaining with the last time being over ten years ago. Josh and I are looking to have an amazing season and capture the championship 
Outside of ultimate I am a full time breadman. I own my business and deliver that fresh dough on the daily. I also have a wife and two children who will sometimes attend games and cheer the team on. Joshua Barker-Arroyo has been playing ultimate for almost 10 years now and loves it more each time he plays 
His best place on the field is probably defense, as he is prone to bidding for discs, although his favorite spot is as a cutter. Josh is a quite energetic person and not exactly what one would call conventional. He works as a diesel mechanic & loves talking/ reading philosophy & psychology in his spare time. Josh’s favorite tournament in ultimate is called the “ Ho down hatter” in Asheville NC because it’s always a great time with friends and never taken too seriously. Josh says: “Deep in heart, I only have love for ultimate & it’s players, so know that if I play with extreme fervor, it comes from my spirit of play and nothing else .Thank you, and long live Ultimate frisbee “
Andrew & Gilon
Andrew and Gilon are recent college graduates. The difference is that Gilon didn’t move on and is still a student. Gilon is a frolfer and can be seen pulling out the back of the endzone while Andrew is an ultimate player with touch so he pulls land in bounds. Andrew spends his time mostly at work. His title is study coordinator, managing data all day or something. Much like his work studies, Andrew also studies how to make bad decisions in the handler space. Andrew and Gilon spend their free time divying up rent and petting Gilons two cats, Tom and Jerry, but mostly Tom. Stop them at anytime to learn backhand or chicken wing forms (but not flick).
Liz & Summer
Summer is a chemistry grad student at UF. When she’s not making molecules or playing frisbee, she loves to read, bike, and play the keyboard! Liz joined league after going to Fallout where she discovered that chasing a frisbee was more fun than distance running. In not frisbee life she helps run a very ridiculous summer camp and does weird cartoon art (she even drew our current league jersey design as well as some past designs for jerseys and discs). She is a big fan of books, board games, and vintage toys.
Nathan & Dustin
Nathan can often be found playing additional Frisbee with a side of more Frisbee, reading a gripping fantasy novel, exploring the various nature walks of Gainesville, or cuddling with either of his two cats, Pewter and Hammie!
