Ultimate
Blog posts on ultimate
Ultimate is a disc sport (we don't use the word "frisbee") played for fun and also competitively. It's a bit of a mix of soccer, football, and basketball, but played with a flying disc. This is a collection of information and resources about the game.
I play with Hamilton Ultimate so these links might be biased towards the local rules.
