About Ultimate

Ultimate was created as a class project by a High School Physical Education class in Maplewood, New Jersey in 1968.  The creators named it Ultimate because it combined an ultimate blend of many different sports.  You must establish a pivot foot (like basketball), catch the disc in the end zone to score (like football), try to create open space on the field (like soccer), and be able to change quickly between offense and defense (like hockey).  Ultimate is quickly gaining gaining popularity all over the world because anyone can play it, from the top athlete in the country to a beginner.  It is an exciting, fast-paced sport that takes very little equipment and is easy to learn, but hard to master, which keeps you coming back for more.  It's an unique sport as there is no referees, this why there is a huge emphasis on "Spirit of the Game".  Ultimate is one sport you will want to watch out for because once you start you will be addicted!
