About Ultimate

Play with Spirit

One of the fastest growing and most exciting sports in the United States, Ultimate is a fast-paced, dynamic team sport that's quick to pick up, satisfying to master, and a lot of fun to play. Casual or competitive, there's nothing like a game of Ultimate.


Spirit of the Game

A sport with no referees? How does that work?

"A truly unique and defining element of ultimate, Spirit of the Game places the responsibility of fair play solely on the athletes themselves by requiring each player to know the rules and make their own calls, without the help of a neutral official. These underlying principles reinforce mutual respect and trust between opponents; communication and conflict resolution skills; and self confidence – both on and off the field of play."

Rules and Regulations

"Ultimate is a sport that inspires players because of its ability to develop and showcase the athleticism, skill, teamwork, and character of its participants. The arc of the disc in flight, the opportunity for each individual to contribute equally to their team’s success, and the trust given to each player to know and uphold the rules make ultimate a sport that is embraced for its fun and excitement on the field and for the community beyond it."
