If you are looking for some out door activity to do for your weekend.. Here is your answer that you can catch it in the wind.. ![]() As someone may not know about ultimate much.. here's the basic describe by www.whatisultimate.com Ultimate is an exciting, non-contact team sport, played by thousands the world over. It mixes the best features of sports such as Soccer, Basketball, American Football and Netball into an elegantly simple yet fascinating and demanding game. Oh, and by the way, it's played with a flying disc (a "Frisbee" to the man in the street) The game, explained as simply as possible Ultimate
is played between two teams of seven players on a large rectangular
pitch. A line drawn across the pitch at either end creates two
"endzones" (like in American Football). These are the goal-scoring
areas. A goal is scored when a team completes a pass to a player
standing (or more likely running) in the endzone they are attacking. The field Players
cannot run with the disc. When you get the disc you must come to a stop
and try to throw it to another player (a bit like basketball or netball). The defending team attempts to stop the team with the disc from making progress upfield by marking them (as in soccer or basketball). The theory is that the offence won't want to pass to a player who is being marked closely, as it's likely to result in an interception. So it boils down to the offence players trying to get free of their markers to receive a pass, while the defence makes every effort to stay with them in the hope of forcing a turnover. Here're where we play if you are interesting to go.. prepare white and dark T-shirt .. sport shoes or cleats even better.. 4 pm sunday for the direction to the field you can just simply hand this map to the taxi (You can also print the clearer one from www.soidawgz.com) ____________________________________________________________________
