Battle of the Hudson

About the Tournament

Welcome to the 2nd Annual Battle of the Hudson! This warmup tournament brings together high school teams from New York and New Jersey for a day of competitive ultimate before the spring season kicks off.

Last year's inaugural event was a great success, and we're excited to host again in Brooklyn's Red Hook neighborhood. It's the perfect opportunity to shake off the rust, try out new plays, and build team chemistry before the regular season begins.

Registration is now open!
