Combining the non-stop movement and
athletic endurance of soccer with the
aerial passing skills of football, a game
of Ultimate is played by two seven-player
squads with a high-tech plastic disc on a
field similar to football. The object of
the game is to score by catching a pass
in the opponent's end zone. A player must
stop running while in possession of the
disc, but may pivot and pass to any of the
other receivers on the field.

Ultimate is a transition game in which players move quickly from offense to defense on turnovers that occur with a dropped pass, an interception, a pass out of bounds, or when a player is caught holding the disc for more than ten seconds. Ultimate is governed by Spirit of the Game™, a tradition of sportsmanship that places the responsibility for fair play on the players rather than referees. Ultimate is played in more than 42 countries by hundreds of thousands of men and women, girls and boys.
