Ultimate Frisbee is a dynamic team sport. The goal of the game is to catch the Frisbee disc in the end zone to score points. It is a non-contact sport with no referees. Thus, the players are responsible for following the rules and being fair.

The game is played between two teams of seven players each on a rectangular field with two end zones. The players in possession of the Frisbee are not allowed to move, so teammates must break free by using various tactics. Speed, precision and teamwork are crucial

The event is open to all interested spectators. Admission is free.
