Ultimate
Combining the non-stop movement and athletic endurance of soccer with the aerial passing skills of football, the game of Ultimate is played by two seven-player squads with a plastic disc (or Frisbee to the layperson) on a field similar to football. While originally called Ultimate Frisbee, the game is now officially called Ultimate because “Frisbee” is the trademark for the line of discs made by the Wham-O toy company. The object of the game is to score by catching a pass in the opponent’s end zone. A player must stop running while in possession of the disc, but may pivot and pass to any of the other receivers on the field. Ultimate is a transition game in which players move quickly from offence to defence on turnovers that occur with a dropped pass, an interception, a pass out of bounds, or when a player is caught holding the disc for more than ten seconds. Ultimate is governed by Spirit of the Game, a tradition of sportsmanship that places the responsibility for fair play on the players rather than referees. Ultimate is played in more than 42 countries by hundreds of thousands of men and women.
