Current Coaches

We are fortunate to have amazing coaches (many of them alums!) to lead our BI Ultimate teams.

Meet our Mixed Winter Coaching Team for 2024/25:

Jarrett Arakaki – Head Coach

Jarrett’s ultimate career began in his junior year at BHS, when he switched from baseball to flatball. When asked how things translated from one sport to the other, he notes the quickness, athleticism, and strategically-minded play are something they have in common.

After graduating from BHS in 2017, Jarrett went on to play at Whitman College, captaining the men’s team in his senior year (2021) and traveling to D-III Nationals.

Having returned to the Seattle area, Jarrett is excited to be mentoring at his alma mater, helping the next generation of Bainbridge ultimate players do their thing and learn the beauty of the sport.


Andrew Lovejoy – Assistant Coach

Andrew grew up on Bainbridge Island, and began playing Ultimate as an 8th grader at Hyla Middle School. He quickly fell in love with the game, and it’s been a big part of his life ever since.

As a high school Sophomore, Andrew was one of the founding members of the BHS Ultimate team. He played competitively through high school and college, making three trips to the College National Championship tournament as a member of the Carleton College team (CUT). After college, he played two seasons of club Ultimate in Seattle before retiring from competitive play.

Andrew has coached the BHS Ultimate team since 2011, and in 2014 began coaching the Hyla Middle School team as well. Coaching Ultimate is one of his great passions, and he loves the opportunity to share his knowledge of this great and unique sport.


Trey Field-Bennett – Assistant Coach

Trey’s time as an Ultimate player began early in his middle school days. He joined the Hyla Middle School team and found he couldn’t get it out of his mind. He then went on to play the sport at every opportunity he could find.
Trey played on the Bainbridge High School team and was lucky enough to compete in the state playoffs twice and travel to California for a tournament with the team. He has played for 8 years and his spark for the sport has only burned brighter.
Trey has been both an assistant coach and one of the head coaches for the Hyla Middle School team and is now taking his first shot at coaching the High school team. He is excited to offer all he can to the team he was recently a part of and to support players as they grow their Ultimate skills.
