Davis Dogs UltimateHistory
|
In the past, Davis Ultimate has been spirited and (relatively) non-confrontational, but some would have perhaps described it as lacking that "killer" instinct. Though dedication, talent and passion were never lacking, the Davis program has struggled to post the results their impressive list of alumni would suggest. This was in part due to competitive programs like Cal Poly SLO, UCLA and Berkeley holding the national spotlight. With a ton of passion and perseverance, the many great players that the Dogs have produced and the dedicated coaching staff came together to propel the Davis Dogs towards success.
After technically not qualifying for regionals in 2011, the Dogs were given a spot and regrouped to tie for 5th-placing higher at regionals than their conference championships. In 2012, the Dogs qualified for their first ever College Championships. Only one year later, the Dogs finished with a top-8 national finish, beating the #2 overall seed. The story of the Dogs is a story of an underdog, growing and strengthening with determination and grit.
The Davis program has given rise to many great players, including Steve Joye, Jeff Eastham, Allen Thoe, Kevin Cissna, Taylor Lahey, Ashlin Joye and Robby Merk, and many more.

Current Dog Life
|
The Dogs today are built around community. Players come through the program learning the values of Ultimate, including competitive drive, sportsmanship, and teamwork. That teamwork extends beyond college, as players come back year after year to help teach the next generation of Dogs. This is highlighted at our very own Davis Ultimate Invite hosted in the Spring every year. This tournament always features a showcase game between the current Davis Dogs and the Davis Dogs Alumni Team, where both get the chance to one up the other side. Though the Alumni have won consistently for the last few years, the current Dogs hope to change that... with your help!
Being a Dog means more than just being an athlete. It means being a teammate, a friend, a problem solver, and a leader. The strength of the team is built upon a wonderful network of community, all connected by a shared fire and love for the sport. |
