“What’s Ultimate?” Ultimate Frisbee is a non-contact, fast-paced sport that combines some of the most exciting elements of other popular sports – the passing and flow of soccer (football), the jumping and pivoting of basketball, and the long “touchdown” catches of American football – resulting in a sport that is truly one of a kind.

Ultimate not only provides great exercise, but is also easy to learn, allowing beginners the chance to get involved from the very start. Best of all is the social aspect of Ultimate Frisbee. Guys and girls play together on the same team, resulting in a fun, relaxed atmosphere where long-lasting friendships are readily developed. So what are you waiting for? Come join us and see for yourself.

The spirit of the game

Spirit of the Game sets Ultimate apart from other competitive team sports. For over 30 years, Ultimate has flourished, reaching a highly competitive level, without the use of referees. In Ultimate, the honor system works. Sure, human nature rears its ugly head from time to time – just as in any sport, just as in life. Yet, one of the many beauties of Ultimate is how, even amid the most difficult of situations, utmost graciousness is allowed to meet that challenge head on. Through this balance, Ultimate players are free to demonstrate the most honorable and the most joyous sides of human nature in sport.Ultimate is essentially non-contact; any contact between players can be declared a foul. There’s a variety of other minor violations, but that’s the big one. Even at World Championship level, according to a code of conduct known as “the Spirit of the Game”. This places the responsibility for fair play on the players themselves. In that respect, playing Ultimate is a completely different experience to playing other sports. And believe it or not, Ultimate’s system of self-refereeing works. Beautifully.
