Ultimate is a non-contact sport that stresses the spirit of the game. Unlike other sports, this game is self-refereed, players are responsible for understanding and overseeing the rules themselves. In my mind there is no question why this is the fastest growing sport in the nation, the combination of aerial throws of football, the athletic endurance of soccer, the intricate structure of offense and defense relating to lacrosse, and the unbelievable diving catches comparing to baseball are just a few supporting answers. Have you ever wanted to be involved in something combines all your favorite sports into one? (USAUltimate.org)
This is exactly my thought process, I can play year long and never get tired of it. I have been playing since Fall 2010 and plan on staying involved the rest of my life.
The purpose for this blog is to introduce Eastern Maine to Ultimate. In this region the only form of "frisbee" that you hear of is something called pickup, a form of frisbee that has no structure, ultimate is serious to some extent. I will introduce the rule book, how the game is played, upcoming tournaments, pictures from tournaments, UMaine Ultimate history, offensive, and defensive strategies.
