Want to know more about Ultimate?

Ultimate frisbee is a non-contact team sport played with a frisbee. It combines elements of netball, touch football, and grid-iron into a fast paced, athletic sport. Competitions usually have co-ed teams, where men and women play together. It is also unique because the sport is self-refereed - due to the 'Spirit of the Game', players are responsible for adhering to and overseeing the rules.

You can watch a great story about Ultimate from Wide World of Sports here.

And there is a great article about Ultimate in The Age.

If you want to play Ultimate there are currently Ultimate leagues in Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat and Traralgon. Most Universities in Victoria also have an Ultimate team. The Leagues will start again in the new year, with the Melbourne league kicking off in January.

However if there is no Ultimate in your area we can always help you start a league in your town!

If you are interested in playing Ultimate and want to know more, go to the Victorian Flying Disc Association Homepage.
