Ultimate is a non-contact team sport played with a flying disc (Frisbee). It is simple to learn, fun to play, and is easy to afford – all you need is a frisbee, 8 marker cones, and your friends. It combines elements of netball, touch football, and grid-iron into a fast paced, athletic sport.
Ultimate Australia’s Ulti-Mates program introduces Primary School children to the fun, inclusive and growing sport of Ultimate Frisbee.
Through a unique self-refereed and game based approach to team sport, Ulti-Mates develops and improves communication, fair play and social-emotional learning. Ulti-Mates introduces students to movement skills including throwing and catching a frisbee. Students will also develop a strong foundation in teamwork and fair play skills through an introduction to Ultimate Frisbee’s unique ‘Spirit of the Game’ concept.
