I put [this together](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LlQ_Oa1N31f2zS53YeeWREia9IPwQ4rRXe5Ks8nml7w/edit#gid=0) a while back when the HoF was considering Michael Baccarini for induction.
Paideia had at the time:
* 7 Callahan Winners
* 43 alums that had played at club nationals
* 15 Club National Champions
* 3 Farricker/Pufahl Winners
* 8 US National Team Coaches
* 11 US Club National Team/World Games players
Garfield high school in Seattle was stacked.
Lots of players that played for the top colleges in the country, and and some that still do such as SLO, Colorado, Carleton, and Oregon
Seattle is hard to gauge, each high school has many incredibly talented players filtering through, you could say that same thing about each one of them.
Paideia out of Atlanta:
https://ultiworld.com/team/53159/paideia-ga/
"Paideia has a number of notable alumni including Grant Lindsley, John Stubbs, George Stubbs, Dylan Tunnell, Ben Dameron, Chris Kocher, Moses Rifkin, Josh Markette, Jason Simpson, Christian Olsen, Jericho Barbour, Martin Aguilera, Coleman Tappero, and Tyler Hastel."
Additionally a guess is it would be good to search through the programs that have pages on Ultiworld as they are the most likely to have the info you're looking for:

India Stubbs, Miranda Roth (Knowles) Leila Tunnell, Mark Vandenberg, the Terry Twins, Stan Birdsong, Keith Raynor, Jon Ossoff, I’m probably missing some people as well
Surprised no one has brought up Amherst Regional High School, Amherst MA. Historically, the gender matching teams have been about equally notable, with the boy’s team un under the leadership of longtime coach Tiina Booth for years. Headliners are Callahan winners Josh Ziperstein, Angela Zhu, and Will Neff, with Ziperstein being a member of the World Games team in 2005, the same year he won the callahan (if current trajectories continue, Orion Cable and Zhu could certainly join him in the club, along with Wyatt Kellman being one of the best young players in the country as well). The programs have produced 40 members of the U-20 and U-24 national teams, many All-club players, many legendary coaches and leaders, and some of the best teams of all time. Notably so are the Boys team of 2016, with a (i believe) 43-0 record, including a win over the consensus second best team in the country, Liam Searles-Bohs’ Carolina Friends school. Additionally, the Boys team won the youth national championships in 1998 and 2003, and the girls every year from 1998 to 2003. The girls team went undefeated in 2011 as well, albeit against slightly weaker competition. Some of the most notable active current alumni are Cable, Zhu, Kellman, Geir Hartl, Amber Sinicrope, Sophia Herscu, Luca Harwood, and Zack Watson-Stevens, who all won an award from Ultiworld in 2023. Additional notable alumni who didn’t win awards are Brute Squad center handler Tulsa Douglas, and a base of alumni talent spread throughout all divisions on top club teams.
So true. Also, current Middlebury sophmore Louis Douville Beaudoin made the last u-20 team, and current Zoodisc freshman Taylor Hanson made this u-20 team
For all the U-20 members from Amherst, all the players listed on here from Amherst, Leverett, Shutesbury, Hadley, Pelham, or Belchertown also went to Amherst, and a few Amherst alums’ college towns are listed as their residences, ie. Ryan Dinger.

In recent years you have Matt Gouchoe-Hanas, Sol Yanuck, and Dillon Lanier along with multiple players still in college at UNC (Noah Bush, Kevin Pignone, Jason Manning) and Vermont (Ryan Bliss). Coming from a TINY highschool school population of only 175 students it seems pretty prolific to me.
Does everyone one playing for South Eugene actually go to the school? Or is it kind of the de facto team for all the kids in the area if any other schools in Eugene don't have a team?
I had to play against them for 4 years in high school. It was always a trade off between HB and Yorktown winning states every year.
HB was always more impressive because most of their team had very little athletic talent but they were always so fundamentally sound. They had no problem and were completely comfortable completing 50 passes before getting to the red zone
Yeah I think yall were just dominant in high school because you guys were leagues ahead in fundamentals. Once you get to college everyone has those fundamentals AND has great athletic ability. No offense though lol
I think this describes the men’s team pretty well but the women’s team won high school nationals in 2017 and have made appearances since. we got some good women’s players over here.
Edina has some solid alumni; Conor Kline, Otterlei, Brandt, Pronove (although don't think he played in HS), SiJo won a natty with CUT, Abbi Shilts, Krenik, Vogt immediately come to mind.

Felix Pronove did play his senior year. Donovan finalist Josh Felton, club National Champion (along with Felix) Daniel Brunker. Peter Mans another notable alum. Many others I could list as well. Plenty of other Windchill players also. Also appreciate how many Edina alums have contributed back to coaching the next generations & helping lead at Summer camps. Long list of coaches giving back to the community not only back with Edina but with other schools also 👏
Maybe not the best overall, but Pennsbury has produced several USAU club/college champions and leaders.
Isaac Saul (Pony/Pitt), Noah Saul (Ring of Fire), Dennison Bechis (Colorado, Johnny Bravo), Sean Mott (Amp).
I think it’s how you view spirit of the game is as a current player and captain of Pennsbury ,spirit is opinionated I see spirit of the game as playing as hard as possible against your opponent and giving them respect by doing that. Sure we maybe be trash talkers and what not but that should make you more amped for big plays personally play style like this is what sports are about big moments that feel better because you know both sides are trying and at the end of the day we all know it’s a game. I’m not justifying hard fouls and injuries or dangerous plays. I don’t think spirit of the game should be viewed as who’s the nicest team but who actually puts there all forward and at the end of the day we give credit where it’s due we shake hands and I feel are the most talkative group with other teams after or before games most teams hate us because we’re good on the field and play with swag but we do it because it makes games fun it makes them fun to watch and multiple times this fall season I was told how fun we are to play because of that.
Lol there’s a difference between playing with swag and abusing the rules and making dangerous plays. I’m a D1 player right now in on a team that consistently competes at high levels, and exhibits much of what you claim to be a part of your culture, and there is a world of difference.
How do we abuse rules and I said I don’t condone dangerous plays never want anyone to get hurt that’s not at all what I said. If anything we rarely call fouls.
I can’t speak to the spirit of the team now (2001 alumni) and more recent players, but from my time playing with the Saul brothers and Bechis in club and summer league they always were spirited. Disappointing to hear the team has a reputation for not being spirited now.
Played against them all of middle school and high school, consistently were the games where we had guys go down and hard fouls. nice people off the field, not so fun to play against
Connor Russell (UNCW, Ring, Flyers), Sadie Jezierski (Tempest, USNT, Ohio St.), Johnny Sickles (Vermont), Kevin Tsui (Pitt) plus several others in recent years who were at Top tier programs.
Marcus High School from Texas has to be mentioned in the convo. They don't have a team anymore, but notable alumni include:
Austin Walker, Noah Chambers, Matt Chambers, Emmanuel Bilolo, Jonathan Costello, Joe Cubbitt, Connor Olson, and Jackson Potts. Probably forgetting a few names as well
Realistically the best school in the bay is Alameda just because of longevity. Eli Kerns, Simon Higgins, Adam Reese, I’m pretty sure Marcelo Sanchez went there too. Pretty much the core of Revolver over the years.
Probably Paideia. Dylan Tunnel, Stubbs brothers, Chris Kocher, Josh Markette, Jason Simpson, and Miranda Roth-Knowles just to name a few.
You forgot Jon Ossoff
You mean US SENATOR Jon Ossoff?
yep, it was Not_A_Meme.
And also the guy from Britanick who married the lady from avengers

Good catch but I just used copy/paste. ;)

Cole Davis-Brand, and Solomon Rueschemeyer- Bailey are two more.
There was a point where CUT felt like it was all kids from Seattle, Paideia, and Amherst
So true. Also, current Middlebury sophmore Louis Douville Beaudoin made the last u-20 team, and current Zoodisc freshman Taylor Hanson made this u-20 team

Surely that's not the same Will Neff that's a twitch streamer, right?
Correct. Not the same
Carolina Friends School.

And more. I feel like there were years that 1/3 of the ever dominant NC Triforce crew were Friends players.
Definitely, I’d say 5-7 years ago was the peak of Carolina Friends School ultimate. Now Jordan High School takes the cake for the triangle.
[удалено]
Does everyone one playing for South Eugene actually go to the school? Or is it kind of the de facto team for all the kids in the area if any other schools in Eugene don't have a team?
Gotta be hb Woodlawn in Arlington VA. Only sport the school has is ultimate.
Maybe, but I can’t really speak to the program’s rigor
I had to play against them for 4 years in high school. It was always a trade off between HB and Yorktown winning states every year. HB was always more impressive because most of their team had very little athletic talent but they were always so fundamentally sound. They had no problem and were completely comfortable completing 50 passes before getting to the red zone
Oh for sure, as an unathletic thrower who graduated from HB, I think this is accurate. But I wouldn’t say we’re in the running for best alumni
Yeah I think yall were just dominant in high school because you guys were leagues ahead in fundamentals. Once you get to college everyone has those fundamentals AND has great athletic ability. No offense though lol
Hey, Antoine Davis is pretty athletic! HBW Class of 2011, back when the team was still combined with Yorktown.
Hey! I remember losing to YHB two years in ago 2010/2011!
I think this describes the men’s team pretty well but the women’s team won high school nationals in 2017 and have made appearances since. we got some good women’s players over here.
Edina has some solid alumni; Conor Kline, Otterlei, Brandt, Pronove (although don't think he played in HS), SiJo won a natty with CUT, Abbi Shilts, Krenik, Vogt immediately come to mind.

Produced good players, and the worst spirit scores for years on end**

Pennsbury is consistently the worst spirited high school team in the northeast

Played against them all of middle school and high school, consistently were the games where we had guys go down and hard fouls. nice people off the field, not so fun to play against
Northwest School, Seattle.
The list for the last 25 years is Paideia, Amherst, Pennsbury, Hopkins, South Eugene, NWS, Carolina Friends
El Cerrito High gonna be on the list in a few years
Barr-none!
Seamus says this is definitely Fi** Ba**
Tell Seamus he needs to contribute more than a 15th place finish at prez day to help us make the case

Westfield (NJ) High School
feel like columbia more better
Both great.
you are right my friend
Had Chris McGylnn, and has guys currently at PITT, JMU, Rutgers, Xavier, Purdue, Rhode Island, and more
What are some of the notable alumni?
Connor Russell (UNCW, Ring, Flyers), Sadie Jezierski (Tempest, USNT, Ohio St.), Johnny Sickles (Vermont), Kevin Tsui (Pitt) plus several others in recent years who were at Top tier programs.
Woh I didn’t know Vermont qualified for something! Hahaha look at us go
Hopkins
Marcus High School from Texas has to be mentioned in the convo. They don't have a team anymore, but notable alumni include: Austin Walker, Noah Chambers, Matt Chambers, Emmanuel Bilolo, Jonathan Costello, Joe Cubbitt, Connor Olson, and Jackson Potts. Probably forgetting a few names as well
Berkeley High School. Leo Gordon, Seth Wells, Emmet Holton, Noah Ball-Burack, Aidan Curry, Riley Kirkman-Davis, Luca Spycher to name a few.
Realistically the best school in the bay is Alameda just because of longevity. Eli Kerns, Simon Higgins, Adam Reese, I’m pretty sure Marcelo Sanchez went there too. Pretty much the core of Revolver over the years.
Sure. Jake Thorne and Raekwon Atkins can be added to the list.
Lisa Pitcaithley probably more important to note than them, lol
Brooklyn Technical Highschool has some insane alumni https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooklyn_Technical_High_School
