Ultimate is a fast-paced field sport played with a frisbee. The action combines the passing and scoring of football, the cutting and guarding of basketball, and the non-stop play of soccer.

Ultimate is a non-contact sport played by two seven-player teams. The object of the game is to pass the disc (i.e., frisbee) from player to player, all the way up the field and catch the disc in the end-zone. The disc may only be moved by passing. The thrower can pivot (like basketball), but is not allowed to take any steps. Any time a pass is incomplete, intercepted, knocked down, or goes out of bounds, the other team picks up the disc where it lands and works to score in the other direction.
