I teach at a primary school in the uk and have just intoduced the game to our Yr 5&6 children. They are really enjoying both the speed and movement of the game, and being non-contact, a lot of our less physical children are really beginning to shine. we are now trying to set up an inter school competition to develop the game further.

[@NinhLyUK]

Islandal1 Excellent! Way to introduce the game at grass-roots level here in Blighty! I'm glad that my videos are helping people do that, and if you can help me out by sharing these videos and subscribing, that would be good :)

This is a sport easy to understand and dynamic to practice and watch. Given the deserved divulgation and development it could become even a Summer Olympics sport. Neat video as well! :)

This is a great overview of the sport for a beginner. It is not accurate with the specific details of numerous rules described, but it is perfectly fine for someone who saw the sport and wants to get a little understanding of what is going on. As an aside, College Ultimate is not an NCAA sport, and it is played under the USA Ultimate rules. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

[@ZedEdge]

Perfect presentation - exactly what I was looking for. Completely thorough and efficient, includes both audio and text descriptions, and showcases exact visual demonstrations of each point. Thanks so much.

[@NinhLyUK]

Thanks Zed - I try my best to come up with high production values for my videos, so thank you for the kind compliments about it. Be sure to check out some of my other videos! :)

Hey, this game was played at William Mason High School, in Mason Ohio, which is home of the Mason Comets. I know this because I have actually performed in Mid-States Band Association Marching Band performances, such as Mid-States Championships in 2015, and the Centerville Jazz Band, our marching band program, won in almost all of the Open Class awards and the were 1st place overall, in the Mason Invitational in 2016. Absolutely wonderful facility, and I advise you to visit it if you ever see an Ultimate Frisbee game here.

[@NinhLyUK]

Thanks Cory - good information to know.

[@coryspang7548]

You're welcome Ninh Ly, just a band geek sharing information with the world, after preparing for the new band season after not even making Semi Finals last year at Bands of America Grand Nationals in Indianapolis. Regretfully, this year we are not even performing at Mason this year

My cousin plays this, he originally played football and basketball making his arm strong and the frisbee far to throw. Heck the other day we went to the park to play frisbee and he was trying to teach me the hammer throw (which you throw it down as if it was a hammer and do something cool with your fingers so then it would fly upwards!)

[@NinhLyUK]

Yes, this sport is pretty cool. Especially if you master the throws, it's pretty slick.

[@ElliottDuster]

2:20 - well one school that we versed during ultimate season back in spring probably didn’t learn about spirit. They were very rude by making derogatory comments towards our teams performance, dishonesty by making false calls, unsportsmanlike conduct, etc. We even had a small physical fight between them. One girl shoved one of our teammates, she didn’t call the foul though, because she didn’t know what to do. Even worse, coach didn’t discipline them or do anything about it. In return, we gave them a 1/5 on spirit. (Basically a way to rate the teams spirit for the league to see.) We did NOT get along very well. The school was (and still is) infamous for their unsportsmanlike conduct in games, despite their phenomenal performances and winning a lot of championships.

[@NinhLyUK]

I can imagine that a lot of teams 'win at all costs' - if they make a habit of breaking rules and winning and they're okay with it? Is it right? I'm not sure.
