What is Ultimate?
Ultimate, also known as Ultimate Frisbee, is a fast-paced team-sport played by two teams of seven players. The object of the game is to advance the disc, also known as a Frisbee, up the field and into the end zone for a score. It has been described as a field sport that combines the nonstop foot speed and cutting of soccer, the aerial beauty of basketball, and the scoring excitement of football. On offense, everyone is a quarterback and everyone is a receiver.
