In ultimate Frisbee how does your team keep possession of the Frisbee?

Answer 1

Not normally. Doing so would result in a 'turnover' (possession goes to the other team). There is one exception: when a throw is made and another on-pitch player (on either team) touches the disc but does not catch it, the thrower is allowed to reclaim possession as long as the disc has not hit the ground / another out-of-bounds object.

Answer 2

No, if you have the disc in your hand you are not allowed to take a step, you only have a pivot foot. However, if you are in a full sprint and catch the disc, you can keep running while trying to slow down (known as momentum steps).

Answer 3

No, that would be considered a "travel" or a movement while not maintaining a pivot foot. Technically, you are maintaining a planted position, but if you hand-off the disc, then your teammate's body is considered part of yours and therefore is a travel.

Answer 4

A minimum of 1 by standard rules. Team captains may make special amendments beforehand and special tournament rules may apply

Answer 5

Your team keeps possession of the Frisbee by throwing it to each other. If your team allows the Frisbee to touch the ground then it is automatically a turnover to the other team.
