Ultimate Frisbee is a fast-paced, non-contact team sport that combines throwing and catching skills with elements of American football and Netball, the continuous flow of soccer, and the offensive/defensive play of basketball to create an elegantly simple yet fascinating and demanding game. Self-refereed, it is played by hundreds of thousands of people in more than 50 countries worldwide. To compete at the top level, Ultimate players require an incredible degree of speed, stamina and agility, yet the simplicity of the rules means it’s easy and fun for newcomers to pick up. Exeter’s team, Uriel, regularly compete at the top national level of University Ultimate yet pride themselves on warmly welcoming beginners and introducing them to a fast-growing sport. It’s one of the few real mixed sports out there as men and women can compete on the pitch together; indoors, outdoors and on the beach.
