Rules

Ultimate, also and originally known as ultimate frisbee, is a low-contact team sport played with a flying disc. 

Ultimate was developed in 1968 by a group of students at Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey.

The playing field: Rectangular (64 meters by 36 meters), with an end zone at each end (18 meters each). That is, 100 meters total.

 

Each point begins with both teams lining up on the front of their respective end zone line. The defending team throws the disc (called the pull) to the attacking team.

Points are scored by passing the disc to a teammate in the opposing endzone. The disc must completely cross the goal line and the receiving player must keep at least one foot in the endzone for the goal to count.

You can pass the disc between teammates in any direction but you’re not allowed to run with the disc. In fact, once you cacth the disc you must stop immediately, you are then allowed one step in any direction to throw the disc. A violation of this is called a "travel".

The defending team will try and stop the attacking team by blocking discs in the air, intersecting the disc or forcing their opponents to either drop the disc or throw it out of bounds. If this happens the opposing team will gain possession of the disc.

Spirit of the game: Ultimate emphasizes sportsmanship and fair play. Competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of the respect between players, observation of the rules or the enjoyment of playing the sport.

Each player is responsible for calling his or her own fouls and for resolving any disputes that might arise. Even at the highest level of Ultimate, there is no offical referee.

 

Substitutions: Substititutions can only be made after scoring a point, or if a player is injured during a point.

 

Contact: The sport is considered non-contact. If there is contact between two players, the result is a foul. Picks and other obstructions are also prohibited by the fules.

 

Fouls: When there's contact between players, the result is a foul. If the foul causes a turnover, the attacking team remains in possession of the disc and play is restarted.

Throwing techniques

There are two basic throws in Ultimate frisbee, the Backhand and the Forehand.

Backhand throw

The easiest and probably most commonly used throw. It is the most generic and natural way to throw a disc. You will put your thumb on top of the disc and the rest of your fingers on the bottom or put your index finger along the rim of the frisbee with three fingers on the bottom. 

If you are a right handed you would stand straight up, twist to the left, bend your wrist and elbow in front of you so they are in front of the disc. Then un-do all of that as you step with same foot as the throwing hand in one steady motion releasing the disc. Try to keep the disc as level as possible and to give it spin. Remember that most of the spin comes from bending your wrist then snapping it. 

 

Forehand throw(Flick)

 Put 2 fingers (Pointer & middle) under the disc and your thumb on top. You can spread these fingers apart or put together.

 Keeping the disc parallel with the ground is really important. The key element to the flick throw is the spin you put on the disc.  Do this by pulling your wrist as far back as it will go and snapping it forward while bringing your arm through the motion.

Catching techniques

There are two basic catching techniques that every Ultimate Frisbee player must master:

Pancake Catch
The pancake catch, also known as clap catch, is the easiest and most effective catch in Ultimate. By using two open and outstretched hands the player will clap so that the disc is caught in between.

 When attempting this, keep your hands in front of and close to your body with both hands at right angles to gather the disc. You have to use this catch when the disc is between your waist and your chin.

 Rim catch

Also known as crab catch It’s best used for the below the waist and above the chin throws. You can use one or two hands. However, by catching the disk by the rim, you might allow it to have a tendency to spin out of control and out of your hands.

 When the disc is above the chin, catch it with your hand thumb down.

  When the disc is below your waist execute it thumb up.

RULES

Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized rules.

 A volleyball court is 9 m × 18 m, divided into equal square halves by a net with a width of one meter. The top of the net is 2.43 m above the center of the court for men's competition, and 2.24 m for women's competition.

 

 

How to play

The object is to win 2 Sets faster than the other team. To win a Set you need to score 25 points (and be at least two points ahead).A player on one of the teams begins a 'rally' by serving the ball (tossing or releasing it and then hitting it with a hand or arm), from behind the back boundary line of the court, over the net, and into the receiving team's court. The receiving team must not let the ball be grounded within their court. The team may touch the ball up to 3 times, but individual players may not touch the ball twice consecutively. Typically, the first two touches are used to set up for an attack, an attempt to direct the ball back over the net in such a way that the serving team is unable to prevent it from being grounded in their court. The ball is usually played with the hands or arms, but players can legally strike or push (short contact) the ball with any part of the body.

 

 Scoring

 A point is scored when the ball contacts the floor within the court boundaries or when an error is made: when the ball strikes one team's side of the court, the other team gains a point; and when an error is made, the team that did not make the error is awarded a point, in either case paying no regard to whether they served the ball or not. If any part of the ball hits the line, the ball is counted as in the court. The team that won the point serves for the next point.

Fauls

 

A few of the most common faults include:

  • causing the ball to touch the ground or floor outside the opponents' court or without first passing over the net;
  • catching and throwing the ball;
  • double hit: two consecutive contacts with the ball made by the same player;
  • four consecutive contacts with the ball made by the same team;
  • net foul: touching the net during play;
  • foot fault: the foot crosses over the boundary line when serving.

TECHNIQUES

Serve

A player stands behind the inline and serves the ball, in an attempt to drive it into the opponent's court. The main objective is to make it land inside the court; it is also desirable to set the ball's direction, speed and acceleration so that it becomes difficult for the receiver to handle it properly.

In contemporary volleyball, many types of serves are employed (Sky ball serve, Float, Jump serve, etc.) But we will focus on the underhand serve.

 The underhand serve is a serve in which the player strikes the ball below the waist instead of tossing it up and striking it with an overhand throwing motion.

If you are right handed, then you are going to have your left foot forward and right foot off to the side. Hold the ball out in front with your left hand, pull your right arm back and swing all the way through to hit the ball. You can serve the ball with an open hand (more accuracy) or a fist (more power).

Bump

Also called reception, it is the attempt by a team to properly handle the opponent's serve or any form of attack. Proper handling includes not only preventing the ball from touching the court but also making it reach the position where the setter (the player who will set the ball) is standing. When performing the bump the ball touches the inside part of the joined forearms or platform, at waistline.

Set

The set is usually the second contact that a team makes with the ball.[3] The main goal of setting is to put the ball in the air in such a way that it can be driven by an attack into the opponent's court. Put your hands in the shape of a ball right above your forehead. Whe you make contact with the ball push through with your fingertips and extend arms and legs at the same time.

Attack

The attack, also known as the spike, is usually the third contact a team makes with the ball.  The object of attacking is to handle the ball so that it lands on the opponent's court and cannot be defended. A player makes a series of steps (the "approach"), jumps, and swings at the ball.

At the moment of contact, the hitter's arm is fully extended above their head and slightly forward, making the highest possible contact while maintaining the ability to deliver a powerful hit. The hitter uses arm swing, wrist snap, and a rapid forward contraction of the entire body to drive the ball.

Block

Blocking refers to the actions taken by players standing at the net to stop or alter an opponent's attack by jumping and reaching with one's arms and hands over the net. It requires anticipating the direction the ball will go once the attack takes place.
