Rebecca Polivy

Regional Liaison and Intercultural Sensitivity Consultant

Rebecca Polivy has been playing Ultimate for over 12 years. She has played competitively and picked up in games in South Africa, Belgium, Tel Aviv, and all over the United States.

In 2000, while living in Harare, Zimbabwe Rebecca started weekly pick-up games which drew a number of regular players who quickly learned the skills, as well as, the love of the game. It was then that she first realized the power of Ultimate to bring people together, build relationships and transcend cultural and language barriers. It was during her graduate work in Conflict Transformation when she realized that, in addition to its many strengths and values, Ultimate Frisbee’s unique communication system provides a perfect model for expressing opposing perspective and working together towards a solution that allows forward movement.

Promoting Ultimate as a tool for intercultural communication and generating greater understanding has been her passion for the last 4 years and she is so happy to have met the like-minded individuals in Ultimate Peace.

Rebecca has spent the last three years living and working in Jerusalem in the fields of social change and Arab-Jewish relationships.
