We are the Dartmouth Men’s Ultimate A-team. We are a collection of athletes who strive for excellence in ultimate. We practice three times a week during the school year, but most of us will also lift and run together as well. We play seven to eight tournaments a year, traveling around New England, the East Coast, and the entire country. We spend a lot of time together and see the team as a family. For almost all of us, Pain Train is the single most important thing to us outside of academics at Dartmouth College.
Generally, we are among the best teams in New England. 2013 was our best year ever: we won on double game point to take second at Regionals, earning us a bid to Nationals, where we tied for 5th. In 2014, we made it back to Nationals, marking the first time that the Pain Train has ever attended Nationals in back-to-back years. In 2017, Pain Train tied for 7th at D3 nationals. Now, we are back in D1 competing year after year for a run at nationals.
Want to join us?
If you are a Dartmouth student interested in joining the team then look out for a campus email at the beginning of the Fall term from Mens.Ultimate.Frisbee@dartmouth.edu. Also, come out to the multiple club fairs in the fall. We will have multiple team members there to talk more about the team, the program, and ultimate frisbee in general. The men’s teams come together in the fall to do open practices and then tryouts (usually from weeks 2-3 of the Fall term) before splitting up to practice separately as A and B teams.
If you are a prospective Dartmouth student interested in learning more, shoot us an email at Mens.Ultimate.Frisbee@dartmouth.edu. We run practices Fall through Spring and our team members are always happy to meet up to talk and toss a disc around.
