Learning How to play Ultimate Frisbee

Ultimate Frisbee is a game of precision and speed. It demands a persons attention to detail to be able to throw the frisbee to it's intended target.

Learning to throw a frisbee is a persons first step in learning to play Ultimate Frisbee. The key to throwing a frisbee straight is making sure when you throw the frisbee it is parallel to the ground. If it is tilted at all it will curve to the left or right. After some practice a person will have improved their throw.

The objective of Ultimate is to pass the frisbee to your teammates and getting it in the end zone. The game is played on a football field. Any time you have possession of the frisbee, you can not move with it. So in order to get a touchdown a team must successfully pass the frisbee upfield to your teammates to score a touchdown. Any time a team drops or does not catch a pass, they have to give possession to the other team.

A good strategy for offense is to spread out and make passses mid ranged in order to move up the field and not have to try to catch a long throw. To play defense you are allowed to smack the frisbee out of the air ,when the other team throws it, to prevent the opponent from catching it.

Ultimate is very popular for teenagers to play and even some colleges have their own Ultimate Frisbee teams. It is a very fun sport that I recommend people try playing. Have you ever played Ultimate Frisbee before? What dot you think the hardest part was?

Josh, I have played ultimate frisbee before and I agree that it is one of the most enjoyable sports out there. I remember when we used to play ultimate frisbee with Zach and your brothers. Those were the highlights of my summer. I would say one more important thing people need to know when learning to throw a frisbee is to step forward. I would never take a step when whipping the disk and that is why I could never throw it very far. We'll definitely need to play some more ultimate frisbee this summer.

Hey Josh,

I have played Ultimate Frisbee before and I love it. I think it is a great game and it really helps with team building. Also it is a easy game to learn because it is similar to football, which most people know how to play. The hardest part for me when I first started playing was learning to throw the frisbee well. I had to learn to make good accurate passes to get down the field quickly. Ultimate Frisbee is somewhat popular but not as popular as other sports. Do you think it should become more of a mainstream sport? Should high schools start adding Ultimate Frisbee to their sports?

I think high schools should think of adding ultimate frisbee as a sport. I think it could either be in the fall or the spring. It is exciting to play but I don't think there is a big enough fan base for Ultimate to go mainstream.
