Lindsey began volunteering for the UPA during her third year playing Ultimate as the MI women's college sectional coordinator for one year. From there, she moved down to North Carolina for graduate school where not only did she play for UNC-CH but she was also the AC regional women's college coordinator for three years. During that time, she became a regular NUMP voter and an UPA reporter and earned Women's College Regional Coordinator of the Year honors. After her graduation from UNC-CH she became an assistant coach for the women's college program under Brian Dobyns. During her time with the UNC women's program, Lindesey was also a member of Backhoe and has been one of the captains for the past two years. This past summer, Lindsey founded the Triangle Youth Ultimate League (TYUL) with a few other very dedicated individuals in the area. TYUL began running a club league that included 100+ participants, 23 coaches, and an eight week season. Lindsey is currently the President of TYUL and has big plans for the region that include organizing clinics and camps, and increased focus on the middle school division.

Shortly after graduating from North Park University in 2003 where Luke had started his college team, he took my first full time position as a youth pastor in Eugene, OR. Luke was immediately asked to get involved with the Churchill High School program. Five years later Churchill had emerged as one of the top high school programs in the country with both their boys and girls teams. During that same period Luke started two middle school programs, served the UPA as both a Club Sectional Coordinator and then the State Youth Coordinator, as well as established Eugene's Spring Clinic and Eugene's Youth Summer League. Luke has since moved to back to Chicago to attend graduate school and have begun to plug into the Chicago Juniors scene and serve on the Youth Advisory Committee. And one of his greatest ultimate highlights was being asked to guest coach the Churchill High School girls’ team at Westerns 2008 and the Eugene Youth Club team at the 2008 Youth Club Championships.
