In the heart of LA, the Hellions of Troy (AKA HoT) is USC's women's club ultimate frisbee team. The Hellions are LUG, a typo for "love" made in one of our team emails in years past that has grown to become a Hellions expression of fierce, fun, and unfathomable friendship. We are a tight-knit team of engineers, filmmakers, astronomists, geologists, and every study under the bright LA sun who are unified by this one conviction. We are a D1 ultimate frisbee team that welcomes all playing levels! We practice year round with more casual practices in the fall and our competitive season in the spring. The Hellions of Troy were founded in 2003 and went to nationals for the first time in 2009. Most recently, we attended nationals in 2016. Our team color is hot pink, rather than the typical USC colors of cardinal red and gold, as USC initially would not recognize a female ultimate team. Today, we are supported fully by USC, but still wear our hot pink to remember the spirit and community our team was founded on. 

As Hellions, we pride ourselves on being disciplined and motivated athletes while also being dedicated to inclusivity, commitment, and teamwork. We seek athleticism, but more importantly we seek chemistry and potential. Having gone to Nationals 3 times, we strive to play ultimate at a highly competitive level, yet pride ourselves with a roster with many players who've never played ultimate prior to college. We generally go to 3 fall and 7 spring tournaments, ranging from beach-style to highly competitive, including Santa Barbara Invite, Presidents Day Invite, Stanford Invite, Northwest Challenge, and Centex. This past year we played in the Southwest Regionals and are hoping to work our way to Nationals! 

The Hellions maintain a competitive atmosphere without sacrificing spirit. We have many fun traditions including our famous cookie nights co-hosted with the USC Men’s Ultimate team and frisbee prom. Many alumni still join the Hellions at practices, and two of our fantastic coaches are Hellions alumni. Additionally, the Hellions are able to play with numerous club teams around Los Angeles thanks to our strong alumni connections. We uphold the tradition of singing frisbee themed top 40 hits and throwback bangers to our opponents after every game. We take pride in training our incoming rookie class in the hopes they will join our team for our competitive season in the spring! We are so excited to meet you and be a part of the ultimate community together. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. LUG!
