Ultimate



Ultimate is a team game, which is quickly becoming more and more popular across the country. The object of the game is to pass a disc (many of you know them as Frisbees) with teammates as you travel across a field to score a "touchdown". A touchdown is scored when a member of your team has made a successful catch, with two feet, completely across the "touchdown" line. You are not allowed to move with the disc in your hands, so using a variety of throws as the passer, and moving/cutting/juking as a receiver will increase success. It is a fast paced game that allows for success at all skill levels. One of our PE department's favorite aspects to the game is "The Spirit of the Game". The game of Ultimate is self refereed, and players are always asked to play using "The Spirit of the game". By that I mean teams officiate themselves, and even at the highest level, the game is played without officials or referees.
