A Look at Ultimate Frisbee and Its Rules


Adam Porcher currently studies computer science at Mercer County Community College in New Jersey (NJ), where he has also participated in theater productions that include Lady Windermere’s Fan and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Outside of his academic pursuits, Adam Porcher also enjoys outdoor activities that include hiking, swimming, and ultimate Frisbee.

A non-contact sport, ultimate Frisbee features two teams of seven players that attempt to move the Frisbee down a rectangular field and score goals. Goals are scored by passing the Frisbee to a teammate in the opposing team’s endzone. 

Each ultimate Frisbee team must also abide by a number of rules. Players are not allowed to run with the Frisbee. Instead, they can only move it by completing passes to teammates. Moreover, the player with the Frisbee only has ten seconds to make a pass, or the possession switches to the opposing team. Ultimate Frisbee is also a non-contact sport, and sportsmanship and fair play is expected. Any contact with an opposing player results in a foul, which is called by the players themselves.
