You may have noticed that many of us are obsessed with playing Ultimate. Why do we play? Why do we love it so much?
People are drawn to Ultimate for a variety of reasons, and as the sport and the communities surrounding and supporting it evolve, so does the appeal of the sport.
Some of us play because the sport is traditionally laid-back and most players are cool people to play with. Some of us play because Ultimate is self-officiated and we are allowed to resolve our own disputes. Some of us play because we appreciate the beauty of a disc hovering through the air in a way that a ball cannot. Maybe we play because the sport is easy to learn and pick up. Maybe we play because we don't quite fit in with other sports. Maybe some of us do play other sports and appreciate the purity of true sport that Ultimate embodies. Some of us see the potential that lies in the sport and wish to see it develop into something bigger and better. Some of us play because the sport is inexpensive. Ultimate is an intense workout that will get your butt in shape. Ultimate is a fun way to meet and compete with friendly people and stengthen communities.
We play and love the game for all of these reasons. In communities around the country and the world, Ultimate players are fanatical about their sport and have developed a strong community and subculture that you won't find anywhere else.
Why do you play Ultimate?
Come see what it's all about and play in one of our leagues, get to know the players in the local community, and help us grow!
