| Ultimate! A Team Sport Played with a Flying Disc |
| Ultimate is a high-energy, non-contact team sport. The objective is to pass the disc from player to player, avoiding a turnover or interception, which immediately changes possession. If the disc is caught in the end zone, a goal is scored. Players may not run with the disc, foul, or double-team the thrower. Players call their own boundaries, traveling, and all violations. This form of self-empowerment is called playing by the "Spirit of the Game.” This concept is written into the rules, has become engrained in the basic philosophy of the sport, and is practiced at all levels of play |
