Ultimate Frisbee classes should be prepared for cold weather! Dress out in long sleeved T-shirts, with a sweatshirt, then layer on a coat as needed. It's getting too cold for shorts. Plan on sweat pants or warm up pants for being outside when weather permits. If you want to wear a hat and/or gloves, they will help to keep you warm.

Here's a quick overview of what you should know about Ultimate Frisbee:

*Play begins with both teams lined up in front of their endzone line.
*A "throw-off" puts the frisbee into play.
*The frisbee may only be passed with a throw, not handed off.
*Players may not run with the frisbee in their hands.
*Possession changes with an out-of-bounds throw, a dropped throw, an interception, or a knocked down throw.
*One point is scored when you complete a pass to a teammate across the defensive endline.
*No physical contact is allowed between players. A foul occurs when contact is made.
*Only one person is allowed to guard an offensive player at a time.

Ultimate Frisbee stresses sportsmanship and fair play. Self-refereeing is expected of all players. You can be competitive, but never at the expense of respect between players, safety, or adherence to the rules. It's all about having FUN!!
