I love Ultimate Frisbee. It's a comprised of Soccer and Football (, and I think basketball but I don't know). It is a basic game and basically the point of the game is to score. To score it is like Football you try to get the ball to the end zone, but the scoring system is like soccer you score by one point at a time. It is a constant game play it basically is a pass, catch, and block game. You pass and catch to get down the field and you block to get the disc. To tell the truth I think passing and catching are my strengths I love to catch long flies were you run really far down the field and they throw it so you have to keep running and you have to either dive for it or jump if you don't get close enough to them to catch them well but not to brag i don't usually have to jump or dive but it happens once in a while they’re just way to far ahead of me to catch them so you kind of just let it go and hope someone can catch it further down or maybe it wasn't meant for you anyway.
THE RULES:
First the game of Frisbee there is referees but they only call calls if they see that someone doesn't call their own fouls.
Second you call your own fouls so if you swipe someone and you get the Frisbee out of their hands you pick it up and give it back.
Third it is a non-contact sport.
Fourth in real game play you can swipe it out of someone's hands but at school you can't so it's not a turn over if you swat it out of their hands.
Fifth it is a turnover if you swat it out of the air it is your Frisbee right where it falls.
Sixth on offense if your running when you catch the Frisbee you have 2 and only 2 steps to slow down.
Seventh if you catch it standing you can't move.
And Eighth there is only seven athletes on a team.
One of my pet peeves is that people will be standing there and they catch it and will take 2 huge steps and they weren't moving, it peeves me.
It is my favorite sport because its active, you have to figure out how your going to catch the Frisbee quickly, and you have to quickly think how to throw it, how far, when, if it will float down to the person you intend to catch it or straight at them, and at what angle your going to throw it so it curves. It's definitely a fast thinking game.
