The Ultimate Sport

In case you have not heard of ULTIMATE, it is a team sport played with a disc that many refer to as a Frisbee. Players toss the disc to teammates advancing it down the field towards the goal-line. Once a player has control over the disc, a pivot foot must be established, similar to basketball. Picking up your pivot foot results in a travel.  Ultimate players act as their own referees, taking great pride in their sportsmanship -- which is referred to in the community as "Spirit of the Game."

The above photo was taken at a recent Ultimate event held on the intramural fields at the University of North Carolina Greensboro. As you can see, it is not uncommon for teams to be comprised of both men and women of varying ages (from high school to post-collegiate). If you have tremendous stamina and are talented at tossing a disc, it is never too late to play ULTIMATE!

Wow! I readily admit that I knew frisbee but not Ultimate! I like the way you've captured the movement!

This is a fun game, though not for competitions. Am not that good in catching though I throw them good. :)
Thanks for your visits.
