Bar · ri · o /bahr-ee-oh/ n 1. A Spanish word meaning our community, territory or neighborhood; a barrio is generally considered to be a cohesive place rich in tradition and populated by a tight knit minority.  2. The name of a co-ed Ultimate team originally formed in Tucson’s Barrio Anita; it is a community of players proud to be representing the minority desert section at the UPA’s 2007 National Championships.  3. Barrio connotes spirit, love of the game, and a never say die attitude. Barrio runs a tireless offense honed under the relentless gaze of the scorching Sonoran sun; rains down one righteous huck after another like a caped luchador flying across the ring; plays lay-out defense hardened on parched fields where a blade of grass is the stuff of legend; and dances with the dead to the immemorial serenades of a mariachi’s violin to never forget who came before.  Thank you to our friends at the Barrio Brewery and the Desert Section Ultimate community for your support sending Barrio off to Nationals.
