All players need cleats, due to the safety issues created by playing without them. Lacrosse or football wide-receiver cleats are recommended, as they are more durable than soccer cleats, however soccer cleats also work well (especially if players play both). Make sure the cleats do not have metal spikes.
Additionally, players are encouraged to have a disc of their own. The standard disc used in play is the Discraft Ultrastar. They are fairly cheap and can be purchased here: https://www.discraft.com/ultimate/ultimate/
