The first competition took place in 1972, by Rogers and Princeton College. Today young people tend to pick up the sport during college as most schools offer an <strong>intermural league<\/strong>. Often a <strong>club team<\/strong> has more experienced players that compete against other schools.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ultimate_Frisbee_Rules\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><b>Ultimate Frisbee Rules<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_64009\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Frisbee2_SHBArcelona.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-64009\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-64009\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-64009\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Frisbee2_SHBArcelona-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Photo credit: Pensiero via Visual Hunt \/ CC BY-NC-ND\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-64009\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: Pensiero via <span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"https:\/\/visualhunt.com\">Visual Hunt<\/span> \/ <span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-nd\/2.0\/\">CC BY-NC-ND<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">It is a team sport with 7 players on each side, typically. Players work together to get the frisbee from one side of the field to the other. Like American football, there is a kickoff, referred to as the &#8220;pull&#8221; or &#8220;throw-off&#8221;. Also, there are end zones where a person must catch the <strong>frisbee<\/strong>\u00a0to score a point. The challenging part about frisbee is that you are not allowed to move while the frisbee is in your hands. The only exception is if you are <strong>running<\/strong> full speed. At that point, you can take a couple steps while slowing down. There are no downs\u00a0or limits to how many times you can throw the frisbee before scoring. You can even throw it backward. A turnover occurs when the offense does not complete a pass and the frisbee hits the ground. If the <strong>defense<\/strong> catches the frisbee or knocks it to the ground while it is in the air, it is also considered a <strong>turnover<\/strong>. Like soccer, when a turnover occurs, the play does not stop. Hence, there is a lot of running involved.\u00a0In my opinion, there is even more running than soccer. Every player plays defense and offense. A good frisbee <strong>player<\/strong> can play defense, throw, and catch.\u00a0Once a point is scored substitutions may be made with fellow teammates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">One interesting aspect about frisbee is that it is <strong>played<\/strong> without a referee. You play\u00a0through the honor system. Knowing when to call your own fouls demonstrates good sportsmanship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_Do_I_Play\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\"><b>Where Do I Play?<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Salty_Frisbee\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Salty Frisbee\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Frisbee3_SHbarcelona.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-64010\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-64010 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Frisbee3_SHbarcelona-300x227.jpg\" alt=\"Frisbee3_SHbarcelona\" width=\"300\" height=\"227\" \/><\/a>There is a Facebook <strong>group<\/strong> called <strong>Salty Frisbee<\/strong> you can join.\u00a0They play on Sundays at <strong>Playa Bogatell<\/strong> at\u00a03:30 pm.
