The Ultimate Frisbee sport, not called Ultimate, is growing across the country, at the high school, collegiate, and community levels. A recent Ultimate Frisbee article in the New York Times reflected the growing sport for woman.

The field of play has its own field marking requirements which is published in the 11th edition of the Official Rules of Ultimate, page 16, Appendix 1. The field of play is a rectangle, 70 x 40 yards (64 x 34 meters) with a 25 yard (23 meters) end zone depth. There is a 3 meter and 5 meter boundary line for participants and coaches, and then the spectators and equipment respectively.

The Ultimate Frisbee Players Association has a lot of information and references associated with the sport.

To help stake out and stripe an Ultimate Frisbee field of play you can use the soccer field layout tool to establish the corners of play. I would recommend using the overall size of the boundary, specifically the 5 meter spectator boundary as the "field of play", then use the goalie box dimensions for the 3 meter boundary and the soccer penalty box for the primary field of play dimensions (70 x 40). The soccer penalty kick spot can be used for the Ultimate Field Marks.

Wikipedia has a good description of the Ultimate Frisbee sport.

Check out the recent twitter posts that have Ultimate Frisbee in the text and the number of Ultimate Frisbee groups in Facebook.

We would like to hear from you about why you like the sport and the reason you believe it growing across the country.
