Why Ultimate?

6 reasons to introduce Ultimate at your school!

  1. It’s mixed - boys and girls play together in a truly mixed format.

  2. The disc is a different and exciting piece of equipment.

  3. No referees - the players referee the game themselves using Spirit of the Game. This is embedded in the sport and promotes sporting values at all levels of play.

  4. The basic rules are very simple and minimal equipment required. It’s fun and everyone get’s active!

  5. Playing Ultimate can develop athleticism, coordination and spatial awareness, helping with multi-sport development.

  6. There are lots of cross-curricular opportunities, from learning about the physics of disc flight to developing skills in empathy and communication.

Ultimate Discs

The JStar is the recommended Primary school disc - it is a little smaller, lighter and softer than the full-size disc.

The Ultrastar is the Official Game disc of UK Ultimate and used for all competition. This is the best option for Secondary schools, but some schools may also want some smaller discs to help students getting started.

In 2018 Ultimate was formally added to the School Games (a Sport England-funded initiative responsible for over 3.5 million sports participation opportunities for young people every year).

The interest we’ve seen from Active Partnerships and School Games Organisers has been huge. Those familiar with the sport won't be surprised to hear that Spirit of the Game has been a major factor in this success, providing children and young people the opportunity to develop communication skills, emotional management and other sporting values, whilst also having fun playing!
