What’s this “ultimate” thing? Ultimate is a fun and exciting team sport that is growing all around the country. It combines the athleticism of running and quick changes of direction with the skill of throwing – the disc flies like nothing else. It can be played on grass or sand or indoors! Teams usually play 7 versus 7, but ultimate can be played with smaller teams too: 5 v. 5, 4 v. 4, and 3 v. 3 are also common variations.
