Illinois Women's Ultimate Ultimate is a team field sport, played with 7 people per team on the field at one time. Generally, the strategy of the game is to advance the disc from one player to another by throwing it down a field about 70 by 40 yards. Everyone on the field except the person with the disc is an eligible receiver and is able to move. A score occurs when the disc is thrown across the goal line and caught by a receiver. Setting picks or making unneccessary contact with a player is not allowed.
Ultimate games are very fast-paced and exciting to watch.
While many people still do not know what it is, the sport is gaining in popularity. In American Universities alone, there are over 100 competitive women's and 200 men's squads. It is an exciting part of being on the team to be able to meet and compete against women from colleges across the country.
