It’s no secret that Madison is a sporty town. From the Badgers at Camp Randall and the Kohl Center to the Night Mares and Mallards at Warner Park, there are plenty of hometown heroes to root for. But the sport that Madisonians can’t get enough of is ultimate frisbee. The Madison Ultimate Frisbee Association boasts thousands of members who play all year round. And the semi-pro Madison Radicals draws big crowds to Breese Stevens Field every season. This weekend the 2025 Ultimate Frisbee Association Championship will be held in Madison, so what is it about the sport that has our city spellbound? We caught up with MUFA Executive Director Pete Schramm to find out. Mentioned on the show: 2025 UFA Championship Weekend Madison Ultimate Frisbee Association 👋 Wanna talk to us about an episode?
