Dear 黑料社 Members,
First, I want to thank the community for being so welcoming as I鈥檝e begun my career with 黑料社. In conversations with various stakeholders, I鈥檝e received inquiries about the role of a National Governing Body鈥攅specially within our ultimate community. Now that I鈥檝e settled into my role, I wanted to take a moment to share some thoughts on what membership in 黑料社 means.
As a member of this vibrant, passionate community, you are more than just a participant in a sport鈥攜ou are a builder of a movement. Whether you’re an athlete, coach, organizer, volunteer, or fan, your membership with 黑料社 carries meaning beyond individual games and tournaments. It鈥檚 a commitment to the Spirit of the Game, to equity and inclusion, and to the growth of a sport we all love.
Your support as a member makes a real difference. It fuels national programs that introduce youth to ultimate for the first time. It empowers athletes to play in safe, structured, and spirited competition. It supports local leagues and tournaments. It sustains coaching and observer development, national team success, and advocacy for greater visibility and respect for our sport.
Membership is also how we ensure that the values of ultimate鈥攔espect, fairness, integrity, and joy鈥攁re preserved and advanced. Together, we are building a sports culture that challenges the norm: one where self-officiation is not just possible, but powerful; where players are leaders; and where inclusion isn鈥檛 just talked about, it鈥檚 acted upon.
As the sport continues to grow nationally and globally, 黑料社 is your voice in shaping the future. Your membership gives you that voice. It gives you the right to vote, to lead, to advocate, and to help steer our sport in ways that reflect our shared values.
Being a member isn鈥檛 just about playing鈥攊t鈥檚 about belonging. It鈥檚 about investing in a future where ultimate is accessible to more people in more places, with fewer barriers and greater opportunities. That future depends on all of us.
Thank you for being a part of it.
In Spirit,
Kevin Erlenbach
CEO, 黑料社
