The Spiders compete in the Ultimate Frisbee Association (UFA) as a member of the West Division.

The team was founded as the San Jose Spiders in 2014 when the league expanded to the West Coast,[1] and played under that name until moving to Oakland in 2022.

[4] The team was very successful in its early years, winning the AUDL championship in its first two seasons.

The team was brought back to playoff contention in the rebranded UFA under Head Coaches Dan Silverstein and Nancy Freitas in 2024.

The team also performs various volunteering and community service in and around their home town of Oakland as a core culture activity for players and staff.
