BlueREY is a competitive youth co-ed traveling team from Rochester, New York. Open practices and tryouts for the team are held in the Spring and players are selected from Rochester's elite youth who are serious about taking their Ultimate game to another level.


Goals of BlueREY

This team is about playing opportunities and development, building our skills and knowledge of the game, as well as having fun on and off the field. We seek higher level playing opportunities in our efforts to accomplish these goals and, even though BlueREY is a youth mixed club level team, we participate in several adult tournaments each year. This team is about raising our level of play; that is our number one priority.
