| Russell Gaskamp | Asst. Tournament Director; tech & scores guru |
 | ‘Spike’ was introduced to ultimate at Pepperdine University at a pickup game that was run by Law School professors. Playing barefoot and being amazed at the first player he met that could throw a hammer, he instantly found a replacement for the sports he played in High School. He moved to Austin, met Gary Breaux and helped form the Ultimate Players League of Austin (UPLA). Spike moved back to Los Angeles eighteen months later and has played his way across Club teams such as Merge, BCBC, Renegade, and 7 Figures. In 2016, he helped revamp the LAOUT board and is currently the treasurer. Most recently, Spike has captained Point Break (Mixed Beach Nationals Champions 2015 & 2017) while also stepping up to organize and run the US Beach Open (which will be back this November!). Spike always jumps at the opportunity to help introduce new people to the sport that changed his life. |
