What is Ultimate Frisbee?


Posted by Larisa R. Patient Expert

I wasn't sure what ultimate frisbee was, so I decided to look it up on the web and share my newly found knowledge with the Wellsphere community. Ultimate frisbee is frisbee, but to the extreme. It is a combination of soccer, basketball, (American) football, and other team sports. There are 7 players per team and there is an "end zone" (as in American football) at each end of the field. Players cannot run with the frisbee - it is passed between players to eventually (and hopefully) make it to the end zone. The defending teams tries to intercept the frisbee when being passed. The rules are pretty basic and simple.

That sounds really interesting. I think it sounds like the kind of game that is worth researching in order to gather up a bunch of friends to play this summer. It could make a fun beach game or hazy summer night's takeover of the local soccer field game. Thanks for the information and for sparking my curiosity!

I'm doing it- I'm goning to be an Ultimate Frisbee Pro by the end of this summer. I have been wanting to pick this up for awhile now. And you're right Teresa- it would be blast to get together a bunch of friends at a nice park for a good game. Hmmm; Ultimate Frisbee in the snow- add an extra challenge!

You're braver than I, Kristy! Frisbee (or anything, for that matter) in the snow! Ha ha, I'm just cold too easily for that challenge, but if you try it out, be sure to come back and let us know how it went! It sounds like something for winter lovers to try--at least falling wouldn't be so bad with the snow to catch you!
