Ultimate Frisbee, or just Ultimate, is a non-contact sport that is spreading rapidly across the globe. Ultimate is played with a Frisbee instead of a traditional air-filled ball like most sports. The field is made up of a playing area and two end zones, similar to a Football field, with two teams of seven that compete against one another. What really sets Ultimate aside is the culture that surrounds it.
All players follow the golden rule, treat others how you would want to be treated. This is known as the Spirit of The Game and it runs deep in every Ultimate player. While still remaining competitive, Ultimate is a sport for all ages and skill levels that offers fun, exercise, and enjoyment.
The sport of Ultimate has become popular because of it’s simplicity, competitiveness, and overall respect for the game and others around. Ultimate has been around for barely 80 years and yet it has proven its potential by spreading to colleges, high schools, and towns everywhere. With over 130,000 registered players worldwide and growing rapidly Ultimate Frisbee will truly be the sport of the future.
