[2][3][4][5] People have thrown flying discs casually and played pick-up ultimate on the fields on the south side of Memorial Park for decades.
Founding members were mostly veteran ultimate players, including Eric Williams who had previously played with Cloud 9 at Rice University.
There are generally 20-40 new players per season, and SOUL is planning for more growth in 2015 at the excellent and hopefully permanent home of the league, NP Dodge Park.
While Memorial is widely recognized as the home of Omaha ultimate, SOUL has simply grown much too large for the space it provides.
Games are co-ed, although there have traditionally been too few female players for a true 4/3 split, so the offense dictates how many men and women are on the field and the defense must match those numbers.
Players from SOUL commonly participate in LUDA league play and vice versa,[7] as well as in one-day tournaments such as LollapaLUDA.
[9][10] SOUL has also helped in the development of local tournaments, such as Battle in the Bluffs and Great Plains Showdown, by providing merchandise and event insurance.
The SOUL party is quasi-famous in its own right, having been hosted at various Omaha establishments such as O'Leaver's on Saddle Creek Road, Elmwood park, several different players' backyards, and more.
