What is Ultimate?


  Ultimate is fun. Ultimate is a sport for everyone. The best way to learn Ultimate is to play!

Ultimate is a non-contact field sport played with two teams of seven. The object is to throw a frisbee up the field from teammate to teammate until its caught in the opponents endzone. The game combines elements from other sports - the running of soccer, the jumping, pivoting and continual turnovers from offense to defense of basketball, and the long bombs into the endzone of American football.
