Ultimate (Frisbee)

Ultimate (Frisbee)

Combining the non-stop movement and athletic endurance of

soccer with the aerial passing skills of football, a game of

Ultimate is played by two seven-player squads with a

high-tech plastic disc on a field similar to football. The

object of the game is to score by catching a pass in the

opponent’s end zone. A player must stop running while in

possession of the disc, but may pivot and pass to any of the

other receivers on the field. Ultimate is a transition game

in which players move quickly from offense to defense on

turnovers that occur with a dropped pass, an interception, a

pass out of bounds, or when a player is caught holding the

disc for more than ten seconds.

*Traveling Club Team Tournament *

At Sportsfest, the main tournament will be an Invite event

with 12 traveling Co-ed Club teams competing for the Philly

Invite championship. Pool play games will be held on

Saturday, feeding into single elimination brackets on Sunday

to decide the champ. Come on out to the Lehigh Valley Sports

Fields and see some of the best Co-ed Ultimate teams in the

country compete in this exhibition.

We will also be sponsoring a second team event that may include

both coed teams & men's teams. These bids will be handed out on a

first come, first serve basis. This is a full team only event, so

you cannot register as an individual. However, if you are an

individual looking to pick up with a team, please email the TD &

he will do his best to place you on a team that is looking for

extra players.

This event is sponsored by the Philadelphia Area Disc

Alliance (PADA), a nonprofit organization that runs

year-round leagues in Philadelphia for over 1200 athletes.

PADA also supports several local college teams and over 30

local high school teams. More info is available at www.pada.org.
