On Sunday, May 21, the Monarchs — Alameda city’s co-ed high school Ultimate Frisbee team — won first place at the State Championships. The team defeated Berkeley High, 13-7, in the championship game.

The team includes high school students from all over the Island — Encinal Jr/Sr High School, Alameda High School, Alameda Community Learning Center, St. Joseph's, homeschool students, and more. Alameda Ultimate runs co-ed high school (Monarchs) and middle school (Taurus) teams. Ultimate Frisbee/Ultimate Disc is an exciting, fast-paced, co-ed team sport combining elements of soccer and touch football but played with a frisbee.
