LA Throwback 2020 Host Teams
LA Throwback is delighted to announce our local host teams for 2020! Our goal is to make LA Throwback a platform for local teams to get support for their teams and, for younger players and teams particularly, experience as organizers of ultimate events. Players will be paid for their work making sure that your bracket runs smoothly, fields are lined, water is close by, scores are in, photos and videos are captured, and the party is memorable! In addition to paying the players doing the work, LA Throwback will also donate a portion of your entry fee to the team to help them pay for travel during their season, entry fees, or whatever else they choose to spend it on.
Los Angeles Astra
Professional Womxn’s team
After an inaugural year as the 99’s, LA’s professional womxn’s ultimate team has changed their name to Los Angeles Astra. The Latin word for stars, Astra represents our city’s connections to Hollywood and scientific exploration – as well as our team’s desire to always reach for more. We are the first professional women’s team in LA, after years of just having a men’s team. We believe that women deserve to be seen, and their abilities showcased on the biggest stage available. Astra is so excited to partner with LA Throwback and to be a part of the LA Throwback 2020 Beach Ultimate Fest. Our goal is to raise awareness of professional women’s ultimate, build and strengthen our community of ultimate frisbee supporters, and raise money for our 2020 season.
