Brief history and basics of Frisbee The game of Ultimate Frisbee was developed in 1968 (Joel Silver, Buzzy, Jonny) Many different types of discs can be used - regulation disc is 175 grams Can be played on different fields and by different rules as long as you follow the “spirit of the game”

-Ultimate Players Association Spirit of the Game "Ultimate has traditionally relied upon a spirit of sportsmanship which places the responsibility for fair play on the player. Highly competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of the bond of mutual respect between players, adherence to the agreed upon rules of the game, or the basic joy of play. Protection of these vital elements serves to eliminate adverse conduct from the ultimate field. Such actions as taunting of opposing players, dangerous aggression, intentional fouling, or other "win-at-all-costs" behavior are contrary to the spirit of the game and must be avoided by all players." -Ultimate Players Association
