00:10 Beach Ultimate is a fast growing and exciting sport.
00:17 It combines the quickness of football with the jumping of basketball, and
00:21 the beach is perfect for volleyball like dives to catch the flying disc.
00:26 Beach Ultimate is more than a sport.
00:28 It is also an attitude, and this attitude shows on and off the field.
00:33 The game is self refereed, so
00:35 there is a trust that no one will intentionally break the rules.
00:39 Players strive to be fair minded, and if issues arise,
00:42 they're quickly and respectfully resolved.
00:44 Enjoying healthy competition is an essential part of the sport.
00:48 This is known as spirit of the game.
00:51 [MUSIC]
00:55 The game is played with five players on each team.
00:58 Men and women often play on the same team, but this is not mandatory.
01:02 [MUSIC]
01:04 The playing field is 25 meters wide and 75 meters long, and
01:08 the end zones are each 15 meters deep.
01:11 In four on four Beach Ultimate, the field is shorter and
01:14 the end zones are narrower.
01:16 To start the game, both teams line up on the end zone that they have to defend, and
01:20 one team throws the disc to the other team.
01:23 This is called the pull.
01:25 [MUSIC]
01:34 The receiving team starts on offense.
01:36 There is no running after catching the disc.
01:39 The player must establish a pivot foot and
01:42 has ten seconds to throw the disc to a teammate.
01:45 The disc may be thrown in any direction.
01:47 [MUSIC]
01:51 The defender's role is to try to block or intercept the disc.
01:55 Each time the disc touches the ground, is caught out of bounds, or
02:00 is caught by an opposing player, a turnover occurs,
02:04 offense becomes defense, and vice versa.
02:07 [MUSIC]
02:12 Physical contact is not allowed in Beach Ultimate, and
02:16 all efforts must be made to avoid it.
02:18 [MUSIC]
02:25 To score a point, a player has to catch the disc in the end zone of the opponent.
02:29 [MUSIC]
02:39 After each point, play stops, substitutions are made, and
02:46 the teams switch which end zone they're defending.
02:50 The next point starts with another pull.
02:52 [MUSIC]
02:57 The first team to score 13 points wins.
03:00 After the game is over, it is customary for players to create a circle,
03:04 briefly talk about the game, and thank each other for competing.
03:07 [MUSIC]
03:12 Challenging, fun, and special, make Beach Ultimate your sport.
