Ahmedabad Ultimate has released a short video which captures the essence of its effort to use the unique game of Ultimate Frisbee for youth and community development.

 

Unlike many other sports, Ultimate is played without traditional referees; instead, the players themselves mediate the game.  This mode of self-refereeing upholds the governing “Spirit of the Game” philosophy of Ultimate as the sport places the responsibility for fair play directly on the players.  The “Spirit of the Game” philosophy instills Ultimate with a unique spirit of sportsmanship that encourages a tradition of mutual respect and unity among all players – both on and off the field.  This code of conduct captures the essence of collective effort, personal leadership and mutual respect which makes Ultimate an ideal vehicle for community building.
