Midtown Ultimate (MU) was originally founded as "Midtown Dodgeball" in 2008 by longtime Sacramento resident Jeff Rainforth. After a successful year of putting on free, pickup dodgeball games in downtown Sacramento, the group decided to explore the sport "Ultimate Frisbee."
Membership quickly grew as word spread about the coed & free pickup Ultimate Frisbee games in Midtown Sacramento. The group fielded its first team (Snake Bite) to Sacramento Ultimate Players Association's (SUPA) league in 2009. Six months later, Midtown Ultimate entered a second team (Anti-Venom) into SUPA's league. MU's team Snake Bite won their division's championship in SUPA's 2010 Spring Spirit League. The group's founder retired in 2010 to pursue a career in politics. Midtown Ultimate is currently organized by Steven Tran, and Sean Barrow. The group continues to put on coed & free pickup Ultimate Frisbee games in Midtown Sacramento.
