Ultimate Frisbee - Rules Ultimate is a game for two teams of 7 or more, played on a field similar in size to a football pitch, with American football style "end zones". A goal is scored when you throw the frisbee to a member of your team standing (or more likely running) in the end zone your team is attacking. Players cannot run with the frisbee. When a player catches the frisbee, they must come to a stop. A team can therefore only move the frisbee upfield by throwing it from player to player. The defending team takes possession if the frisbee touches the ground, or if they make an interception by catching the disc or knocking it to the ground mid-flight. The game is non contact - when contact between players does occur, it may be deemed a foul. The winning team is the first to reach a previously decided number of goals, typically 15 or 17. See the UK Ultimate website for more info.
Volunteers are always welcome to help at the finish area. If you are coming along with family or friends and someone wants to join in with our fun and friendly Ultimate Trails CREW, check out the Crew page for more details on how to get involved.
