Registration is open for BIU tryouts for our Winter Mixed (all genders) HS season, open to all female-matching players (FMPs) and male-matching players (MMPs) in grades 9-12. No cost to attend!
Mandatory preseason info Zoom will be Mon Nov 13th at 7:00pm. Tryouts will then run Tues Nov 14th, Weds Nov 15th, and Thurs Nov 16th from 3:30-5:30pm on the BHS stadium turf.
We hope to be able to field both a V and JV team, each with an equal number of FMPs and MMPs. See our Winter Mixed page for more general info about the season.

After a late summer clinic and a great round of tryouts, BIU happily supported both a Varsity and JV team for DiscNW’s Fall Bx HS team league. You can see our schedule of games (and results) below. Both teams finished up their seasons, with games against Westside (JV) and Eastside Prep (V in the state quarterfinals). Excellent seasons all around, and congrats to all involved!
BIU was excited to present a new opportunity for returning and new female-matching players (FMPs): a fall training season for our Gx players with veteran coach Andrew Lovejoy. This season allowed players to spend focused time developing their skills and “Ultimate IQ,” as well as (of course) having fun playing ultimate! FMPs in grades 9-12 of all experience levels participated — it was a great chance for new players to learn the game and meet potential teammates before the regular winter (Mixed) and spring (Gx) seasons.
Please share info about our organization’s activities with any students you think may be interested! Our HS teams are open for anyone in grades 9-12 at BHS, EHHS, those who do Running Start or are homeschooled, Hyla HS, West Sound Academy, or any other Kitsap/west sound high schools that do not have a team of their own.
BIU is open to ALL athletes, regardless of gender expression or gender identity. See our Gender Inclusion Policy to learn more.
In a rematch of last year’s state quarterfinal, our BIU Bx Varsity squad (#8 seed) faced the top-seeded Eastside Prep at Ingraham HS under the lights. EPS raced out to a 9-0 lead before Bainbridge was finally able to post a few points, eventually falling 4-13 to last year’s state champs. But congrats to all
Windy conditions and unexpected zone defense awaited the Bx JV team in their final matchup of the season, against Westside JV. Despite the on-the-job learning for our JV players in this situation, Westside retained the upper hand and bested us 9-2.
The Bx Varsity team snagged the 8th and final bid to DiscNW’s state championships with a solid 13-9 victory over Mercer on Monday. Big congratulations to all!
All practices and games comply with DiscNW’s COVID safety protocols, which evolve in line with current health guidance.
