Ultimate, sometimes called Ultimate Frisbee, is a fast-paced team sport played with a flying disc (frisbee). It is one of the fastest growing sports in the world.

Many of the aspects of Ultimate make it ideal as a sport for young people. Ultimate is non-contact and very safe. The equipment is cheap, and all you need is a single disc and some friends. Ultimate is most often played mixed, with boys and girls on the field at the same time.

There are also no referees at any level of Ultimate. The sport relies on self-refereeing to resolve disputes on the field. This means YOU and everyone else on the field referees the game themelves.  All players must take responsibility for making the game run smoothly.

How is it played?

Each team has seven players, playing on a field about half the width (37m) and the same length (100m) as a football or soccer field. The aim of the game is to pass the disc to your team-mates, and catch the disc in an endzone to score a point. No running with the disc is allowed, and the game is non-contact.

Games are usually to about 15 points and last around 60-80 minutes, although some leagues have shorter games.
