Our season(s) runs from September to the end of October, as well as from January to April/May (potential to be a part of the team for just one season).
Additionally, this year the Lady Gee-Gees have been selected to host the Canadian University Ultimate Championships here in Ottawa, and we are extremely excited to get our team up and running to prepare for nationals in our hometown.
