Ultimate Frisbee Came From Columbia High School
Ultimate started at Columbia high School in New Jersey.
Maplewood, New Jersey. In the student parking lot of Columbia High school. It was invented in 1968
in a USAU (USA ultimate) magazine, Nequa Valley High School in Illinois was featured as the best team. (Although our team versed them, and they are cheaters and have bad spirit of the game)
Ultimate Frisbee is a sport played in many high school gyms. It can either be played for fun or competitive, however til this day, it is not pyshical. Many kids play it outside of school as well, just like football. It is a sport to keep kids in shape and to have fun
Walter Morrison and Warren Franscioni invented a version of the first plastic frisbee in 1948. Morrison continued to work on a basic plastic model for the modern frisbee and called it Pluto Platter. He received design patent 183,626 for a flying toy on September 30, 1958.
Ultimate frisbee is a sport. In addition, many high schools (like mine) and colleges have now created frisbee teams and hold competitions. Check out upa.org for more information!
Most notable in Tracy, California are The Tracy Cougars Youth Football team and Tracy High School's Cougars. Tracy also has teams of Soccer, volleyball, poker, billiards, softball, basketbal and ultimate frisbee!
There are basically 3 levels of Ultimate Frisbee. There's high school level, collegiate level, and club level. Collegiate and Club are the one's that are actually legitimate (kind of like college sports and professional sports). College season takes place during the spring semester, with the playoffs running through the end of May, while club starts about halfway through the summer, with playoffs running through to the end of October. High school level takes place in the spring like college does. Keep in mind that Ultimate is year-round (kind of like baseball how there's spring and fallball), but these are the "official" seasons.
Denton High School's motto is 'In the ultimate pursuit of excellence in education'.
Ultimate Frisbee is a lot like football. There are two teams comprised of an equal number of players. The game is usually played on a football field so each team begins in their designated endzone (the field canbe shortened by determining the end zones as certain yard lines). One tea begins with the frisbee and yells out ULITMATE! before launching it to the other team (a lot like a kick off). Once a player of the other team has the frisbee they are only allowed to pivot on one leg (they're not permitted to take any steps) from here, they must throw the frisbee to another player on the team. This continues until a member of the team catches the frisbee in the end zone in which that team scores a point and the process starts over. However, if the frisbee is dropped it makes it an automatic recovery for the other team and the game continues, the same with an interception. If a frisbee is thrown out of bounds it is taken up by the other team from where it left the playing field. The game is over when a certain team has reached the designated amount of points (voted prior to the beginning of the game) or a team forfeits.
