What is Ultimate Frisbee?
Ultimate Frisbee is the most played frisbee team sport in the world! However, you might know frisbee as a fun game that you play on the beach or in the park. Ultimate Frisbee is a tactical quick pace team sport where the goal is to catch the disc in the endzone of the opposing team. To reach this goal you need to run, throw and tactically decide what your next move is. Ultimate Frisbee is played indoors, outdoors and on the beach! During the game there is no referee which means that fair play and spirit are key. This ensures that the spirit on the field is very enjoyable.
The game format
Ultimate Frisbee is played by 2 teams each consisting of 7 (outdoor) or 5 (indoor/ beach) players and 1 disc. The outdoor playing field is 100meters by 37meters. An indoor field is het size of a handball field. At both ends of the field is a goal area, the endzone. The goal is to score a point in the endzone of the opponent by catching the disc inside of the endzone.
Every point is opened with a throw from the endzone line towards the other endzone line: the pull. The team that is throwing the pull is the defending team. The team that receives the pull is the offensive team. The further the pull is, the more distance the opposing team has to move towards their scoring endzone. The player is not allowed to move when they catch the disc. The player has to throw the disc within 10seconds to another team member in order to move towards the scoring endzone.
The defending team will however try to intercept the disc or force the other team to make a mistake. This can be done by catching the disc or smashing the disc out of the air! When the defending team catches the discs, or the discs hits the ground, the offense and defense rolls switch.
The winner of the game is the team that reaches 15 points first or the team that has most points at the sound of the buzzer.
