how to play

Ultimate Frisbee is a 7 on 7, non-contact sport. Each point starts with one team pulling to the other, (similar to a kickoff in football). You pass the disc between your teammates with the goal of catching in the opposing team’s end zone. Once you catch the frisbee, you cannot run, you must pivot (similar to basketball). Ultimate frisbee is unique because there are no referees, it is self governed. If there is a foul, travel, pick or strip on the field, play stops, all players on the field stand still, and the involved players talk it out. Once the dispute is resolved, the disc is “tapped in”  and play resumes.

“Spirit of the Game is a set of principles which places the responsibility for fair play on the player. Highly competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of mutual respect among competitors, adherence to the agreed upon rules, or the basic joy of play.”
