Scorch Ultimate is a club-level sport at the University of South Carolina, holding membership within USC Club Sports. Scorch Ultimate is comprised of female University of South Carolina students, freshman through graduate level. The team consists of students from a wide variety of academic areas, including pre-med, nursing, business, social work, Russian, etc. Scorch Ultimate is overall a tight knit family, supporting each other both on and off the field. Scorch Ultimate currently competes under the governing body of USA Ultimate (USAU), a not-for-profit organization that serves as the governing body of the sport of ultimate in the United States. Within USAU, Scorch is located in the Atlantic Coast Region. Within the Atlantic Coast Region, Scorch is a member of the Carolina D1 Conference. The Carolina D1 Conference includes North Carolina, North Carolina - Wilmington, North Carolina State, Duke, Wake Forest, Appalachian State, East Carolina, and, last but not least, Clemson. Scorch's season primarily takes places during the spring semesters and the team usually practices 2-3 nights per week during both the fall and spring semesters. During the spring season, the team plays weekend tournaments in order to advance to the sectional and regional play-off tournaments. As assumed, these tournaments require the team to travel frequently on weekends. Although Scorch is able to receive some funding through the University of South Carolina and various team fundraisers, players are required to pay annual dues to further cover the cost of travel and other team expenses.
