Transparent Leadership

Leading with accountability, trust, and a commitment to our community.

Our Story

TUF Associates is a charitable non-profit that was formalized out of Triad Area Ultimate at the end of 2023 by a group of individuals with a desire to begin intentionally growing their local Ultimate community.

At TUF, we strive to bring people together and foster an inclusive community through the sport of Ultimate by reducing financial barriers, supporting clubs and schools, and organizing leagues, tournaments, clinics, and other social events across the Triad area.

TUF Community Gathering

It's our goal to lead transparently and we're excited to think about what the Triad could grow into, but we also know that takes accountability and trust from the community. If there's anything we can do better as an organization, ideas for us to implement, or if you'd like to be directly involved in leadership or other support roles, please reach out to any of the TUF Board members and we'd love to get connected with you and talk more.
