Who we are:
"My name is Roger Murdock. I'm the co-pilot." - Roger Murdock, Co-Pilot
Sky Hook is an open club team committed to the idea that playing with joy, playing with integrity, and playing for each other are essential components of competitive greatness. We seek to employ solid fundamentals through the development of the skills, athleticism, and mental fortitude of every player who joins our program.
We recognize that some skilled players cannot devote the time needed to play on the typical high level club team in NYC. Others have the desire to play club at a high level, but need to polish their game. We seek to create a flexible space that brings both groups together to play clean, fundamental ultimate. And we’re gonna have a damn good time along the way!
Our goal for 2019 is to compete at regionals.

What we're about
"You have to be able to center yourself, to let all of your emotions go... don't ever forget that you play with your soul as well as your body." - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Playing with joy
Playing ultimate is fun as hell. We want our play on the field to exude how much fun it is to play this game.
Playing with integrity
When we practice and when we play, everyone gives it their all. No matter who we’re playing against, we want to play solid, fundamental ultimate, without giving any psychological advantage to teams that may be more or less skilled than us on paper. We always respect our opponent.
We make honest fouls calls. We stay calm and present in our discussions about foul calls with our opponents.
Playing together
We choose to be unselfish in our play on the field. We recognize that every player on the team is vital to our overall success. We pick up our teammates when they make mistakes, but we’re also direct and honest about adjustments that need to be made.
Playing with sound fundamentals
We believe there are clear fundamentals to the way we play on the field and the way we train our skills, athleticism, and mental fortitude.
We seek to help every player who joins our team develop solid fundamentals in their play and in their training so that they can excel both on this team and their career in this sport while staying physically and mentally healthy.
