Without Limits, an organization that develops training and tournaments for women ultimate frisbee players, has announced it will bring its largest and longest-running club tournament, Heavyweights, to the Aurora Area of Illinois this summer.
Without Limits will partner with the Aurora Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB), the Aurora Area Sports Appliance, and the Fox Valley Park District for the event which will take place August 4-5, 2018 at Stuart Sports Complex in Montgomery, Illinois.
Heavyweights is expected to attract many ultimate players and spectators to the region. The tournament is scheduled to host a combination of women’s, open, and mixed teams.
“For several decades, Heavyweights has brought many ultimate teams across the Midwest to Chicago, and we are thrilled to host our event in Aurora, IL this year,” said Kyra Catabay, a representative for Without Limits. “We are excited to work with the Stuart Sports Complex and Aurora Area Convention & Visitors Bureau to provide an amazing experience for 1,500 players and fans.”
Ultimate players participating in Heavyweights are required to be USA Ultimate members. The Aurora Area CVB announced earlier in the year that USA Ultimate, the national governing body for the sport of ultimate frisbee in the United States, and a member of the U.S. Olympic Committee, will host its second-largest tournament in the Aurora Area. The 2018 Masters Championships will be held at Stuart Sports Complex from July 20-22, 2018.
Another ultimate tournament, the 2018 Neuqua Knockout, will be held April 21-22 at Stuart Sports Complex, with 90 high school teams from throughout the Midwest expected to participate.
