About the Sport
Ultimate Frisbee is a non-contact team sport played with a flying disc. Two teams compete to score by catching the disc in the opposing end zone. There are no referees — players call their own fouls, governed by the Spirit of the Game.
It is fast, mixed-gender by default, and open to all fitness levels. If you can catch and throw, you can play.
