EAT - LOVE - MINT

Mint is a Women’s Masters team based out of Seattle, Washington. This summer marked our 10th year
competing at the Nationals level! We play in local leagues, local and regional tournaments, pick-ups,
and in the Club division on Women’s and Mixed teams. We coach in the youth scene and serve our local

ultimate organization, Disc NW.

Together prioritize having fun and strive to play our best ultimate as individuals and as a team. We
work hard and play with pride and spirit. We dance on the field before and after games, make up our
own raps and songs, and make way too many mint puns (and we love it). We laugh together and we

cry together. We support each other off of the field as much as we do on the field.

We are hoping you give us the chance to show Honolulu what this strong group of ladies has cooked
up and the (m)intensity and spirit we’ll bring to the kaimana on and off the field.
