Co-Ed Turkish Ultimate
| The translation is roughly this:
Turk Kasi Ultimate Frisbee Presents: Want to have a great time learning and playing a brand new sport?
For two days, the mixed American and Turkish "Turk Kasi" Ultimate Frisbee Team will be teaching this new sport.
What is Ultimate?
A mix of basketball, soccer, and American football, it's the only sport where men and women play side-by-side on the same team.

Project Summary
Experienced ex-patriot and Turkish Ultimate players will teach the game to new players and train existing players in technical and leadership skills as well as gender equality values at clinics across Turkey. Two two-day sessions will aim to jump start the growth of co-ed Ultimate in Istanbul and Adana’s tiny Ultimate communities. Hosted on college campuses, the clinics will target university age players.
Training will include discussion of the rules, team organization strategies, gender issues involved in co-ed Ultimate and instruction in leading a team as well as practical work on the fundamental skills and strategies of the game.
