Joe Richards

Club Ultimate: Ant Madness (2015), Oak Grove Boys (2016)

A junior at the University of Mary Washington, Joseph Richards plays for the school team, “Mother of George.” As a kid growing up, he tossed the disc around with his dad and two older brothers but didn’t even know what ultimate was until he got to college. Richards went to Mary Washington to play basketball but when the coaching staff changed, he decided to stop playing altogether. He was in desperate need for an outlet to stay active and fit. He saw some people throwing a frisbee on campus and decided to walk over and join. Approached by Zach Norrbom who said, 'hey you’re tall, you should play frisbee.' Over the past two years, he has fallen in love with the sport and the ultimate community.

In his off time, Richards enjoys spending time with family and disc golfing. He loves his two dogs, Hawkeye and Cecilia.
