One of our most popular series to begin each year, it’s time to look back at last year and let our readers decide some of the top plays of 2025. We narrowed to the final sixteen (eight from MMP and eight from WMP) during our live charity streamathon, and after three exciting rounds of voting, we’re down to the Final!
The final round starts now and closes on Monday, January 12th at noon Eastern!
Final Round
In an epic last minute comeback, Durham edged out Olivieri to prevent an entirely beach final. Coppejans has cruised to this point but can the European take the title?
Loes Coppejans – Belgium Women’s (WFDF WBUC)
Loes Coppejans flew to grab this too-far upline toss and deftly avoids contact for Belgium at the World Beach Ultimate Championships!
John Durham – Virginia Vault (USAU Club)
This play has something most don’t: the element of surprise. You simply don’t expect John Durham’s sprinting deep cut to turn into a two-handed layout grab to the front cone, with his defender blanketing him. His defender didn’t see it coming either.
