Info about this sport we call "Ultimate"
Maybe you're new to Austin and looking for a way to meet people, maybe you're a high schooler and looking for a new sport to develop your skills in, or maybe you're an avid athlete and looking for a new way to get outdoors and get some exercise... whatever the case is - ULTIMATE IS FOR YOU!!
We have some of our vets writting up content to put here to answer all the questions you have about this game, but for now, I humbly offer some ways to get you started:
Ultimate is a team sport (usually played 7 vs. 7) behind which small subcultures across the globe have sprouted up.
Much like soccer, there is a ball (frisbee / flat ball) passed between teammates who try to advance to their opponents side of the field. But, there is an endzone instead of a soccer goal (think football).
Much like football, goals are scored when a member of the offensive team catches the disc in the defender's endzone. But, play never stops (think soccer).
I'm glad there's a wiki explaining this better: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_frisbee
There is a governing body of the sport, the Ultimate Players Association: http://www.upa.org/
So hop into one of our leagues or hit up a pickup game and start chasing plastic!!
