How to play Ultimate

It summer, it’s hot, and you’ve got a generic-brand flying disc. Time for some Ultimate.
You Will Need
* 14 players
* A flying disc
* A playing field

Step 1: Make teams and rules
Divide into two teams of seven and decide what score to play to, typically 15 or 21.

Step 2: Mark end zones and side lines
Mark off end zones and side lines with cones, or, in a pinch, T-shirts.

A regulation field is 70 yards by 40 yards, with end zones 25 yards deep.

Step 3: Line up on your endzone
Line your team up on your endzone line and have the other team do the same.

Step 4: Begin play
Begin play by having one team throw the disc down the field to the other team, similar to a kickoff in American football.

Step 5: Pass
The team controlling the disc must try to pass it from member to member down the field toward the opponent’s end zone.

Step 6: Score when complete in endzone
Add a point to your team’s score when you complete a pass in your opponent’s endzone.

Step 7: Kick off after scoring
The scoring team kicks off after each point.

A player has ten seconds to throw the disc, and may not run with the disc.

Step 8: Control changes to other team
When a pass is incomplete, out of bounds, held for too long or intercepted, control changes to the other team.

Step 9: Substitutes enter game
Substitutes may enter the game only after a score or in the event of an injury.

Step 10: Contact is not allowed between players
Contact is not allowed between players.

Fact: Students at Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey, are credited with creating the first version of Ultimate back in 1968.
