Spirit of the Game
Sportsmanship/Respect is KEY… Always stress fair play.
The Pitch
Full size Ultimate pitch is rectangular shaped with end zones at each end. Pitch is 37m wide and 64m from goal line to goal line. Endzones are 18m deep.
Teams
Can have as many players on a team as you’d like, but only 7 can be on the pitch.
Starting Play
Each point begins with both teams lining up on opposite end zones. The defense throws (pulls) the disc to the offense. Once thrown all players can begin movement.
Scoring
To score a team must complete a pass in their endzone.
Moving the Disc
ANY player holding the disc must stand still. They are allowed to pivot side to side. Passing is the only way to move the disc.
Change of Possession
Failure to make a catch for any reason (OB…drop…interception) results in a turnover.
Non-contact
NO contact is allowed between players.
Defending
Only one defender is allowed beside the thrower (arms length away). The Defender’s job is to count to 10 seconds, so the thrower can pass.
Self-Referring
ALL players act as referees in the game. Point out when a rule is broken.
