Feed: The Ultimate Frisbee Guide - AggScore: 84.8
Little did those two American Second World War pilots know, when they created the plastic disc they dubbed a “flying saucer” in 1948, that their new toy would become the focus of what is today a hugely popular sport. And little did Alison Gresik know, when her husband dragged her into the sport six years ago, when his team needed more women, that she would come to embrace ultimate Frisbee as her “favourite keeping-fit activity.” Other more seasoned players could have warned her. Nick Roberts, general manager of the Ottawa-Carleton Ultimate Association (OCUA) was a sports enthusiast when he was younger. Today, he terms ultimate “the best team sport that I have ever played.”
“It’s inexpensive, which makes it appealing to me. It’s coed, which is unusual among team sports. And it’s very physically demanding. The best way to sum it up: it takes a very short time to learn, and a lifetime to master.” Ottawa can boast it has the largest summer ultimate Frisbee league in the world, according to the OCUA. A non-contact, coed team sport that can be played year round by anyone of any age, ultimate draws nearly 5,000 Ottawans to sign up ever summer to throw Frisbees in outdoor fields around the city, and nearly a thousand continue to play through the other three seasons.
Some New Jersey high school kids developed the fast-moving sport of ultimate in 1968, so dubbed because they called it the “ultimate sports experience.” The most important part of ultimate is known as “the spirit of the game,” a catchphrase that describes the respect among the players. A game that does not use referees, ultimate relies on trust and resolution without conflict.
More than 300 coed, women’s and youth (ages eight to 16) teams make up Ottawa’s summer league, which runs from May through August, catering to all levels, from beginner to competitive. In the fall, players can join competitive and recreational coed teams from mid-September until early November. And in the winter, an indoor league takes over until the middle of March.
The OCUA opened the world’s first exclusive ultimate park in Manotick in August 1999.
Association president Marc Gobeil is another player who admits he was “smitten” with the sport the first season he began to play seven years ago.
“All week I’d eagerly await my next game, with butterflies . . . I was a horrible player, but that didn’t matter, because it was just so much fun running like mad after a floating piece of plastic.” Gresik, who is playing with “The Hammers” in the summer league, after keeping up her skills in a coached recreational development league all winter, also confesses she was not much of an athlete when she took up the sport.
“Our coach teaches us strategy and helps us improve our throwing, cutting and defense. It’s a vigorous workout, but it inspires me to keep up my weight-lifting and aerobic activities, so I don’t poop out on the field!”
With time, Gresik is gaining confidence, learning where to run, how to dog her opponents and how to throw skilfully.
“There’s nothing like the high of sprinting down the sideline and catching the disc in the end zone for a point!”
Fricket is similar to Fris-nok but there are also some differences in the two games. The name ‘Fricket’ was coined from the words Frisbee and cricket.
This game utilizes some equipments and it is basically a non-contact sport or game. Protective equipments are not needed. You will need long wickets (4-5 ft) but if you don’t have any, you can use substitutes like plastic rods, steel, wooden dowels, and garden bamboo stakes. Fricket makes use of a specific Frisbee or flying disc as well as 4 pieces of 12-ounce cups. These plastic cups will be set on top of the 4-5 ft wickets.
Like other Frisbee games, Fricket should be played on a field. The playing area should be rectangular in shape. If you want detailed illustrations of the playing field, you can easily obtain them online. Conduct a simple search online about Fricket and find the field illustration; you can even print it if you like.
Team games have certain rules to follow to ensure the safety of the players and not only that, rules are also required so that a winner can be proclaimed. Each team should have a pair of wickets. The flying discs are thrown at the opponents with two aims in mind – one is to knock-off the cups through the flying disc or to simply pass the flying disc between the opponent’s wickets without any contact. The team receiving the throws can’t interfere and they should simply stand behind their wickets. Just in case the cups are hit, the team in defense should be able to catch the cup using one hand only.
The scoring system of Fricket is quite simple. The throwing team can earn 2 points if they are able to make a clean pass (the flying disc should cleanly pass between the wickets). If the throwing team knocks-off the cup and the defense team was not able to catch it, the throwing team will get one point. The defense team can get a point if they can catch the falling cup with one hand. If the knocked-off cup is caught through body trapping, both teams receive no points.
Now that you know the rules and scoring system of Fricket, you can now play the game together with your friends. Fricket is already recognized in the sports industry and it is not difficult to obtain the needed equipments from online and local sports stores.

1. Find an open field or simply a wide area where you can make a 6 ft x 6 ft square. The square should be 20 yards apart. Use 8 visible markers to indicate the square like shoes, cones, or backpacks.
2. Make two teams. You can have a minimum of two players for each team or you can also have more players as long as the teams have equal number of players. Let the teams choose their spot.
3. Toss a coin to determine which team will have the disc or Frisbee first.
4. For the offensive team – throw the flying discs to teammates and try to work towards the end zone. Keep in mind that you can’t run with the disc in your hands. Once the disc is passed to you, plant your foot and you can only pivot from your position as long as you’re holding the disc. Pass the disc to other teammates who are in good positions.
5. For the defensive team – players in the defensive team should try hard to knock off or intercept the flying disc. If you’re successful in intercepting or in knocking off the flying disc to the ground, your team will gain possession of the disc.
6. On offense - one of the teammates should be positioned on the end zone and that player should be able to catch the disc; that way, your team will still hold the disc.
7. On defense – players are not allowed to stand more than two seconds inside their own box. Defense should be carried out from outside of the box. There are no exterior boundaries when it comes to hot box so you need to have a good defense strategy.
8. Before the game starts, the teams should agree on the ‘points’. For example, the first team to get 5 points will win the game or the points could be more than that. The teams should agree with only a specific number of points.
There are times when the game becomes too slow and so the players incorporate additional rules. For instance, players should only be allowed to hold the disc in 10 seconds; if they are unable to pass the disc within that time, the possession of the disc changes.
Break-aways are also excellent when it comes to scoring in Hot Box. If one your teammates can throw the disc with accuracy, you can do this stunt but the catcher should be ready in order to make a point. Defenders should not be too close to the thrower; they should maintain a distance of 2 ft and they are also not allowed to grab, hit, or push the offense.
Hot Box is an exhausting game but its fun. Don’t forget to have drinking water with you because after the game, you will surely find yourself dehydrated. Have a great time playing with friends with this exciting game.
Two teams play the game and they need 2 cones which are set very close together. Each team is usually composed of three players. The game starts by flipping the disc and the teams choose heads or tails; the winner will start their offense. One of the objectives of the players is to be able to get a position where they can knock-over the cone. If a certain player is not able to complete his or her throw (or when it has already reached stall count #6, there will be a turnover. The other team’s aim at this point will be to take the Frisbee to a zone called ‘take-back’ so that their opponent will not be able to make a score. The teams should be able to achieve 3 points in order to win. The series usually consists of three games.
At present, the rules of Durango Boot have variations but the original rules are still intact. Amendments were made and there are also some exceptions. Some of the rules are as follows:
1. Each team should only have one cone. Nalgene bottles are usually used in the game. In order to score, any of the players should be able to tip or knock-over the bottle or cone. You can do this by throwing the Frisbee to the bottle or cone, or by simply tipping it over while holding the disc.
2. Traveling calls are made for players who put down their hands attempting to knock-over the bottle or cone but the possession is still maintained.
3. The zone ‘take-back’ was replaced by the half-field line. The teams should be able to cross the line so that they can make a score. This line is marked by a boot or shoe.
4. Hammer throw can be executed by a player of a certain team wherein he or she will attempt to knock-over the cone on the other side of the field. The team will receive a bonus point is they are successful with the throw but if not, the Frisbee or disc will be given to the other team.

Kick-throw is basically about throwing the Frisbee with your foot. So how will you do it? Here are the steps to follow:
1. Your feet should be apart from each other (preferably shoulder-width). Position yourself about 45 degrees from the direction you’re aiming with the dominant leg in front. The disc should be held at your waist-level with both of your hands.
2. Release the Frisbee to the space beyond the kicking foot. When releasing the disc, you should let it go in a tilting position and it should be spinning clockwise. That way, the farthest edge of the flying disc is somewhat above the trailing rim or edge.
3. When the disc is about 12-24 inches from the surface, swing the dominant leg like a pendulum and strike the trailing edge of the disc, using the outside portion of the foot. Your goal here is to create forward momentum and to increase the clockwise spin’s rate.
Now, this move is a bit tricky and you might not be able to get it in one try. It will surely take a lot of practice before you can do the kick-throw move.
When practicing the kick-throw move, make sure that your foot does not go after the disc. You must wait until the disc is near you foot (12-24 inches from the ground surface). You don’t have to use a lot of power play here because the move is all about technique. You must be able to determine the proper technique in order to execute the move properly. Some players have their own technique when doing the kick-throw move and perhaps you may be able to create your own technique too.
Keep in mind that controlling the kicked disc is difficult. You should not practice in a very small area where there are other people present because you might hit them. It would be best to practice alone if you’re in a very small area or better yet, try to practice the move in open space where there are very few people.
There are still other movements that you can learn but you need to learn them all one at a time. You can’t practice many moves every time you practice. You must learn to do things one at a time and once you’ve mastered a certain move, you can proceed with another one.
Even if Frisbee is among the non-contact sports, you still need to be extra careful when doing stunts like that. There are times when you can hit another person or you’re the one who will get injured. Being careless is not a good attitude. You must always be aware of the people around you especially once you’ve thrown the disc.
Playing Frisbee is really fun. You will get some exercise while you’re playing with your friends and you can even meet new acquaintances. It’ll be more fun to play this game if all the players know some neat tricks so that the game will not be very boring. You can also teach the move to your friends if you like.
When a player in the field is hit by the flying disc and he or she wasn’t able to catch it, that player is eliminated from the game. However, if that same player was able to catch the disc before it touched the ground, the thrower is automatically eliminated from the game. This game can have many players and the ultimate match will take place when there are only two players remaining.
The two players will stand in both ends of the playing field and they will be given several flying discs. The players can execute simultaneous attacks in order to eliminate the opponent. When the other player is hit and the flying disc touches the ground, the player who threw the disc wins.

Some dog breeds are used to an active lifestyle and if they don’t get the needed daily exercise, they usually create diversions to amuse themselves. However, there are times when their diversions are somewhat destructive from the point of view of the pet owner. Playing Frisbee is a very good way to curb those destructive behaviors. Frisbee will serve as your dog’s outlet so that he can use up his constrained energy.
When you play Frisbee with your dog, you’re also getting some exercise. So both you and your pet can maintain a healthy condition. If you have a herding dog, it will be more fun to play Frisbee because this dog breed is more skilled at fetching. But if you have a different dog breed, dont fret, fetching the Frisbee can be taught easily. You have to ensure that you purchase a Frisbee that is suited for ‘dog Frisbee’. Regular flying discs can irritate or harm the gums of your dog so be careful when choosing the right Frisbee.
So how will you start teaching your dog to play Frisbee? You can start by replacing your dog’s food dish with the Frisbee. Serve his food on the Frisbee and after your dog finish eating, clean the disc. After some time, your dog will be able to associate the food with the Frisbee and so when you throw the flying disc, the dog will surely chase after it.
For starters, you can start by throwing the flying disc one or two feet from you on the floor. Tell your dog to fetch it and if your pet obeys, give him praise or a treat. If your dog doesn’t obey you at first, you must not get frustrated or scold your dog. Learning to play Frisbee may take some time, so you should be patient. The entire learning experience should be fun for you and your dog.
When the dog learns to get the disc, it’s time to teach him to return the Frisbee to you. Some dogs return the Frisbee at once but some dogs are not fast learners. If your dog does not return the Frisbee, try to tempt him by presenting a new Frisbee. Tell your dog to return the Frisbee to you and when he comes towards you, toss the other Frisbee and get the first one. Repeat this procedure several times until the dog learns to return the Frisbee without being told.
Some dogs are really stubborn and if this happens, you will need a 30 feet training lead. When you toss the Frisbee, tell your dog to get it for you and gently pull the lead towards you. If the dog drops the Frisbee, stop pulling the lead and pick up the disc. Repeat the process over and over again.
When your dog learns to fetch the Frisbee, you can now play outside. Teach your dog to catch the Frisbee while on flight. When you toss the Frisbee, tell your dog ‘catch’. Some dogs can get it in a few tries while others do not. If you want to teach your dog how to play Dog Frisbee, be patient because it will take some time.
