How to Play Ultimate Frisbee

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Love throwing a disc around, but wondering how to turn it into a team sport? Ultimate Frisbee is the solution to this desire. This article provides an overview of the game and its of official rules.

Steps

Identify the goal of throwing around the disc. The goal of the game is to get the disc from one end of the field to the other and into the "end zone". Each team wants to get the disc into its respective goal end. The disc must be thrown and the person with the disc cannot run.
Divide into teams. There are two teams of 7 players on a rectangular field.
Set up the team layout. Each team starts in the other team's end zone or goal.
Start play. Team B will throw the disc to Team A across the field. Team A now has possession of the disc.
Continue play. Team A then throws the disc from player to player, down the field towards the goal.
Block. Team B can try to block the disc to take possession of it. This can be done by having Team B catch the disc, knock it to the ground. Or, it occurs if Team A fails to catch the disc. As this is a non-contact sport, Team B's player must block the disc and not the player.
- Guard the thrower. One player and only one player from Team B can also guard the thrower.
- Gain possession. If Team B is able to block the disc just after the Team A player attempts to throw it Team B will gain possession.
- Team B can still only block the disc and cannot touch the player on Team A.
Seek further goals. If Team B succeeds, then the disc is now in Team B's possession and Team B will start throwing the disc towards the goal.
Continue the game. Play until someone scores.

Tips

A standard size for the playing field is 40 yards /36.5 meters wide and 70 yards / 64 meters long. This field will also have 25 yard end zones on both ends for a total length of 120 yards / 109 meters.
Before the game starts a stall count can be decided upon. A stall count is used when a player from Team A is trying to throw the disc to another player on his team. If the player is taking too long to throw the disc then a player from Team B who is trying to block the throw can start a stall count. If the play is stalled for over 10 seconds the disc is turned over to Team B's possession.
The number of players and field sizes mentioned are the official numbers taken from the Ultimate Players Association. As with most sports these can be modified when just playing a casual game with friends. A field can be determined by markers, or something as simple as pre-existing trees.
When first playing, and you're not used to the game, or throwing a 'bee (disc), its best to keep passes short, which will reduce chances of the 'bee leaving the playing field or being intercepted.

Warnings

As with any sport, risk of injury is present if not played carefully.
Don't forget to drink water and keep hydrated.
