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?
