What is Ultimate?
Ultimate, also known as Ultimate Frisbee, is a non-contact team sport played with a flying disc (frisbee). It combines elements of soccer, basketball, and football, emphasizing sportsmanship and fair play through the "Spirit of the Game" philosophy.
The sport is played on a field similar to a football field, with end zones at each end. Teams score by catching the disc in the opposing team's end zone. Players cannot run with the disc and must pass it to teammates to advance down the field!

The Backhand - Basic Throwing Technique
Grip the rim of the disc in the palm of your hand, with your thumb on top and your four fingers wrapped around the edge. Step across your body, feet shoulder-width apart, and point your throwing shoulder at your target. Keep the disc flat, swing your arm toward your target and snap your wrist to release the disc.
The Forehand - Basic Throwing Technique
Place your middle finger against the inside rim of the disc and spread your index finger out to make a V shape. Grip the top of the disc with your thumb. Extend your arm out to your side, with your elbow slightly bent. Step out to the side with the same leg as your throwing hand. Snap your wrist, and release the disc toward your target.
