In terms of D3 schools with ultimate frisbee, these are some schools your family may want to consider:
- Lewis & Clark (OR)
- Pacific Lutheran (WA)
- Kalamazoo (MI)…this one has a fairly open curriculum called the K Plan
- U. of Puget Sound (WA)
- Luther (IA)
- College of Wooster (OH)
- Knox (IL)
- Willamette (OR)
- Siena (NY)…which just had a really nice write-up about it the other day about college visits: Colleges your child crossed off the list after visiting, schools that moved up on the list. Why? - #7147 by mo4620
At the same time, I will say that it’s still quite early to be looking. There are some very serious athletes I’ve known who had the potential of going on to play in college (and potentially beyond) who then got burned out during the high school phase and ended up wanting to do something new in college (or play at a lower level, like intramurals).
If that does end up being the case, your son might want to look into Eastern Mennonite in Virginia. It’s located in Harrisonburg (same city as James Madison U), it has both recreational and competitive leagues for ultimate frisbee, and I think that the values and ethos of the school might be a fit for your son.
