The frisbee game contains the best elements of American football, European football, basketball and the usual game of disc throwing - frisbee. We will tell you how to play the ultimate frisbee game. This is a challenging, tense, strategic game. If you want to learn how to play, you need to memorize simple rules, learn to adhere to them, and create a strategy for the game so that your team wins.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Rules of the Game

1. 1 You need to find a suitable field to play. To play Ultimate Frisbee you need a lot of space. This game is usually played on a football field. Also, Ultimate Frisbee can be played in any open area, not less than 60m by 40m in size. The field should have two ends where the gate will be.
   • You will have to make do with the amount of space you have. If you play in your yard, that's okay. You don't need to measure it. Just set up two scoring zones or goal zones on either end of the yard - this will be the goal net for each team.
2. 2 Split into two teams. Ultimate Frisbee is a team sport. It is played by teams. Each team must have the same number of players.
   • The minimum number of players is 4, 2 players per team. With such a small number of players, it will be quite difficult to play. It is best to have 5-7 players on each team.
   • In standard Ultimate Frisbee teams, there are usually 7 players per team. The number of players is not limited. Players can be substituted after a goal has been scored.
3. 3 You need to have a suitable frisbee disc. Any throwing disc is suitable for this. Easiest to play with a heavy classic frisbee disc. This helps to better control feeds over long distances. Try to buy a beach drive.
   • The 175 gram discs are best suited for playing Ultimate Frisbee. You can buy this disc at a sporting goods and toy store. Dissraft Ultra Star 175 is releasing the official Frisbee discs for national teams of Ultimate Frisbee players in the United States.
4. 4 Learn to play. Just like football or any other goal-scoring sport, you have several players on your team who are busy defending their goal or goal area. They are trying to score a goal at the other end of the field - into the opponent's goal. It is necessary to move the frisbee disc, passing it to the players of your team in order to score a goal.
   • A player who has a frisbee in his hands cannot move, and also cannot hold a disc for more than 10 seconds.The rest of the players must move across the field to try to open for the pass.
   • If the disc hits the ground, goes out of the field or is intercepted, it goes to the other team.
   • The team that does not currently have the disc must attempt to intercept it, closing the passes for the players of the other team.
5. 5 You can find a team of Ultimate Frisbee players in your city or country. Usually, every big city has at least one team of players who participate in the national league. From them you can learn strategy, rules and technique of the game. You will meet interesting people and can practice playing Ultimate Frisbee.

Part 2 of 3: Gameplay

1. 1 You need to flip a coin. The winner gets the disc. After splitting into two teams and discussing the rules, it is necessary to decide who will get the disc. To do this, you can flip a coin or use any other method, discussing it with all the players.
   • One team must stand on their own side of the field and pass the disc to each other, trying to go as far as possible towards the goal of the other team. The goal is to score a goal. The rules of the game are a bit like American football.
   • Make sure everyone is ready, then toss the frisbee high in the air towards the other team's goal. All players must run towards the other team's goal to grab the disc, and the opposing team's players must run to defend the goal.
2. 2 Score goals by moving the disc outside the goal line into the other team's goal area. Mark a goal zone at the end of the field. Entering this area with frisbees, players score a goal. On one side of the field there should be a goal zone for one team, and on the other end of the field there should be a goal zone for the other team, where players with frisbees in their hands will try to get.
   • A goal will be scored when one player passes the frisbee to another player who is in the goal zone, and this player successfully catches the disc. In this case, a goal is scored to the defending team, and the disc goes to it.
   • It is possible to make a substitution after a goal has been scored, but before the frisbee passes to the team that scored the goal.
3. 3 Never make contact with players of the other team. This refers to physical contact. You cannot hold, push or specifically touch the players of a foreign team. It is necessary to block them so that they cannot make the transfer, but without entering into direct physical contact.
   • The player who defends the player with the disc in his hands must count out loud to ten, since it is impossible to hold a frisbee in his hands for more than ten seconds.
4. 4 The game usually ends when one of the teams scores fifteen goals. You can change this rule and play until you get bored. Usually one of the teams scores fifteen points, about an hour after the start of the game or after an hour and a half. If you have less time, play to seven or ten points.
5. 5 You must take care of yourself. Ultimate Frisbee is a very anarchic game. There is no referee or referee, there are no fouls and long disputes. Players must enforce the rules themselves, be honest and trust others.
   • Sometimes a special player-caretaker who does not belong to any team participates in the game. He monitors the implementation of the rules.

Part 3 of 3: Game Strategy

1. 1 You need to practice making good shots before trying Ultimate Frisbee. Try to throw the frisbee in the right place by holding the disc correctly. Place your index and middle fingers under the disc, bend two fingers to hold the disc as firmly as possible, and bend your body in the direction you are throwing the disc. Step forward with your right foot if you are right-handed. Unfold your body, straighten your hand and release the disc in the direction you want to throw it. The frisbee should be parallel to the ground.
2. 2 Over time, you will learn to make more difficult throws, you will get better at playing. You can try to practice throwing the disc, the better you practice the better you will get.For example, the hammer movement is done like this: put your index and middle fingers under the disc, and your thumb on the top. Do not bend your index and middle fingers. Make a movement as if you were throwing a ball. Raise the disc over your head, the disc and your head should form an angle. Make sure the angle is approximately 50-55 degrees. Keeping the same angle, throw the disc forward and upward. The disk should fly perpendicular to the ground for a few seconds, then flip upside down and slowly fly towards the ground. Such a throw is difficult to catch, it is mainly used for defense.
   • Try to practice throwing to the side. Place your index and middle fingers under the disc and bend them. Place your thumb on the top of the disc. Bend your body forward slightly, bend and extend your wrist while releasing the disc. You should twist your arms a little, pointing them towards your body when you throw the disc. The disk should spin hard enough. Train to make this throw correctly.
3. 3 Make quick passes. It is necessary not only to accurately throw the disc, but also to do it quickly enough. Practice quickly and as accurately as possible to pass other players, moving quickly across the field to make it difficult to defend. You have ten seconds to throw a frisbee, but you shouldn't hold the disc for more than five seconds.
   • Don't be afraid to make long passes into the field. The likelihood that someone will catch the disc is not very high, but such a transfer makes it possible to score a goal quickly.
4. 4 Give the other players on your team time to run across the field and catch your disc. There is no need to throw the disc directly into the hands of a stationary player. Throw the disc into the aisle so that he moves into the depths of the field. Make long passes. Try to show the player where you want them to run. Pass the disc to an open area so that it will not be intercepted by the players of the other team.
5. 5 Do not hurry. If you see a good place to drop the disc, you don't need to do it instantly. Concentrate and try to make a good pass, try to throw the disc as accurately as possible. You don't have to make an assist straight away. You have a disk in your hands, think about how best to take advantage of this opportunity. Make the most efficient transmission. Move forward slowly across the field, conquering territory.
   • Just like in football, you can move in any direction when you receive the disc. If you need to pass forward to regroup, do so. It is not necessary to go forward all the time, the main thing is not to give the disc to the players of the other team.
6. 6 Move towards open areas. When you do not have a disc, you need to constantly move around the field. Make sure no one is blocking you. Try to run away, find an open place on the field. Move constantly and wait for transmission.
   • Learn to navigate cross-country routes, take shortcuts, move into open spaces in the field, do not follow the same pattern all the time. Thus, it will be difficult to block you and it will be easier for you to catch the disc.
7. 7 Practice walking the developed routes. As in basketball and football, as well as in any team sport, it is very important to have multiple play patterns. They are developed by the team prior to the start of the game. You can create multiple play patterns and name them. Make sure all the players on your team know what pattern you are currently playing in. Thus, you will be able to cheat the defense and score a goal.
   • If the player who has the disc in his hands knows which route you will be running (according to the agreed scheme), he will be able to make a better pass and it will be more effective.
8. 8 When you defend your territory and your gates, you need to block and block passes to the players of the opposite team. You need to select one of the players and block him during the game so that it is difficult for him to make a pass.Do not leave him a step. Play defense, you need to try to intercept the disc so that you don't get a goal. You can raise your arms, run around the player and try to intercept the pass.
   • The defense should play quite actively and aggressively, do not move away from the player you are blocking. Do not get too close to him or push, physical contact is prohibited.
   • When you run next to a player, try to follow the movements of their hips, not the disc itself. Always be between him and the player to whom the transfer is likely to be made. Try to intercept her.

Tips

• If you are new to the game and do not know how to throw the disc, it is better to only make short passes, this will reduce the likelihood that the disc will be intercepted by players of the opposite team.
• Before the game begins, decide to what score you are playing. Also agree with all players on how to count to ten while one of the players has the disc. A player should not hold the disc for too long, so when he gets a frisbee in his hands, the opposing team starts counting out loud to ten. All should count the same, with equal intervals between seconds.
• The number of players and the size of the field do not really matter. We have told you about the generally accepted rules of the game. If you don't have enough players or a big enough field, you can just play with your friends in the yard. This is not very important. The main thing is to determine the size of the field and the line behind which the goal zone of each team is located.
• The standard field size is 60x40m. There must be scoring zones for each team at a distance of 20 meters from the end of the field.

Warnings

• The disc is made of hard plastic. Running it hard can cause minor injury to the player if the disc hits the head, hand, or face.
• Play carefully so as not to harm anyone.
• Remember to drink water.
