Ultimate Frisbee
This co-ed program will introduce students to the sport of Ultimate Frisbee with a focus on Spirit of the Game. Ultimate is a fast-paced, non-contact, self-refereed sport with similarities to soccer, basketball, and football. Teams score when a player catches the disc in the endzone after passing it from player to player. Spirit of the Game is a core element of Ultimate and refers to the importance of fun and fair play, knowledge of the rules, and respect for teammates and opponents. Students will be taught to throw and catch the disc, as well as the basic rules of the sport. Since Ultimate is a self-refereed sport, players will also learn how to call fouls on the field and how to communicate respectfully in the event of a disagreement. This program is open to all Upper School students, with no prior knowledge or experience required.
