People often think of frisbee as the pastime of geriatrics and beach
goers. Little do they know, this lazy hobby can be transfored into an
exhilarating game known as ultimate frisbee.
University team president Maura Brady said the sport involves the
physical endurance of soccer, with passing skills of football.
The game usually takes place on a football-sized field, which is
not as wide with longer endzones. Players work their way up the field
by passing the disc to each other. A player holding the disc is not
allowed to run but can pass the frisbee. To score, a player must catch
the disc while standing in the endzone. Players cannot hold on to the
disc for too long or it results in a turnover. A turnover also occurs
when one team fails to complete a pass and the disc hits the ground or
when a pass is intercepted in the air.
"You're pretty much always running," Brady said. "You're not
strictly an offensive player and you're not strictly a defensive
player, you're both."
