Ultimate Frisbee

RULES OF PLAY

• The object of the game is to advance the Frisbee down the field with the pass and score by crossing the opposing team's goal line.
• Game begins and restarts with one player making a pass to a teammate from inside the hula hoop.
• A player who catches the Frisbee is NOT permitted to take any steps but CAN pivot in any direction to make a throw.
• When the Frisbee hits the ground or if the player with the Frisbee steps out of bounds it results in a turnover.
  • Turnover - defense will become the offense and vice versa.
• When a turnover occurs, the team taking the Frisbee must make a pass from wherever the Frisbee hits the ground.
• A player with the Frisbee has 5 seconds to make a pass. If they hold the Frisbee for longer than 5 seconds it results in a turnover.
• A player can score only by catching the Frisbee across the goal line.
• A player with the Frisbee is NOT ALLOWED TO BE DEFENDED or GUARDED. Defenders should allow them to throw it and find somebody else to defend.

Spirit of the Game

Ultimate Frisbee, like many of our recreational games, relies upon a spirit of sportsmanship that places the responsibility for fair play on the players. Teams are responsible for officiating their own games.

Highly competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of mutual respect among competitors, adherence to the agreed upon rules, or the basic joy of play. Any conflicts or disputes that can not be settled should be brought to your teacher.
