Note 

Ultimate frisbee is a team sport played with a large plastic disc. The object of the game is to score points by passing the disc to a player in the opposing end zone, similar to an end zone in American football. The beginning of organized games in the Cayman Islands dates back to 2009, thanks to the four original organizers – Badir Awe, Josh Lavelle, Scott Murray and Steve Weitzman.  

CIU is a registered non-profit association with the Cayman Islands Government, having received its official Non-Profit Organisation status in July 2018. CIU has been a member of the World Flying Disc Federation, the sport’s international governing body, since 2020.
