Info for New Players

Are you new to the sport of Ultimate? Whether you’ve got no idea how it works, or you’ve played it casually with your friends before, you’re welcome to join in with what we’ve got going on in Brighton Ultimate.

First of all, there are a couple of useful websites to check out to give yourself a quick introduction to the sport:

• Ultimate in 10 Easy Steps - The basic rules of the game.

• Pictorial guide to Ultimate - This is a GREAT place for a brand new player to start.
• The Ultimate Handbook - All kinds of great stuff here.
• The World Flying Disc Federation rules [PDF link] - Brighton Ultimate plays by the WFDF 2008 rules.
• The UK Ultimate Association - the governing body for Ultimate Frisbee in Great Britain and Northern Ireland; they organise national tournaments and oversee the selection of GB teams for international events

The best way to get involved in Ultimate in Brighton is to sign up for the Summer League and come along to Preston Park at 6:30pm on Tuesdays, where you’ll find friendly people who’ll help by explaining how the game is played - then you can get involved straight away or watch until you feel ready - it’s up to you.

If you’re coming along, drop Felix an email at saying whether you’ve played before and how many Tuesdays you can make it along to over the summer (discounting any holidays). You’ll then be pencilled into a team with plenty of beginners as well as experienced players who will help teach you the game.

Brighton’s Summer League is growing every year. Dozens of men and women participate, from top players in the city to brand new athletes looking to learn the game in a semi-competitive atmosphere.

We hope to see you playing soon!
