How refreshing to read an article in the StarTribune on Ultimate, "Ultimate's fling is spirited", one of the fastest growing sports in the nation. In addition to being outstanding exercise for the athletes, it is also self officiated, encouraging the players to work through penalty calls themselves. Being largely a club sport, Ultimate also has a wonderful vibe; it is highly competitive, yet laid back. After competitions a "Spirit of the Game" award is both given to individuals and teams who exhibit great sportsmanship.
Interested in learning more, why not head up to the Nationals Sports Center to watch the USA Youth Club Championships? Unlike our professional sports teams, there is no fee for admission, and you will see young people giving their all simply for the love of the game.
