Ultimate Frisbee is a popular emerging sport, played at all levels across Portland. From elementary school to the professional level, ultimate has gained popularity and following in recent years, and is a great sport for bolstering community and brining people together outdoors.
"Ultimate is a non-contact, self-officiated disc sport played by two teams of seven players. The object of the game is to score goals. A goal is scored when a player catches any legal pass in the end zone that player is attacking. A player may not run while holding the disc. The disc is advanced by passing it to other players. The disc may be passed in any direction. Any time a pass is incomplete, a turnover occurs, resulting in an immediate change of the team in possession of the disc. Players are empowered to self-officiate using a framework governed by the principles of Spirit of the Game."
