“Player
defined and controlled non-contact team sport played with a
flying disc on a playing surface with end zones in which all
actions are governed by the ‘spirit of the game’.”*
Ultimate is governed by Spirit of the Game, a tradition of
sportsmanship that places the responsibility for fair play
on the players rather than referees.
The object of the game is to score by catching a pass
in the opponent’s end zone.
Players mover from offense to defense on turnovers
that occur with a dropped pass, interception, pass out of
bounds or time possession exceeding ten seconds.
The player must stop running when in possession of
the disc, pivoting and passing to any other receivers on the
field.
Ultimate is a dynamic game that is simple to learn
and fun to play.
Sportsmanship and fair play are stressed over competition.
While the latter is encouraged, it is never at the
expense of respect between players, adherence to the rules,
and the basic joy of play.
At North, Ultimate will be an intramural sport offered in
the spring, meeting several times a week from 2:30-3:10,
with several “tournament” days for longer play through 5:00.
Team organization, specific rules and play will be
student driven.
An organizational meeting will occur in early February.
All students participating must submit forms for the
random drug testing pool and have a physical on file.
Forms will be distributed at the organizational
meeting.

selected high school students render special service to the
community.
Working together as a group, the chapter multiplies
the benefits of its
service. The society
also enables every individual to work in a unique way for
the enhancement of the community.
The NHS serves as an excellent training ground for
the youth who will be the future leaders in society. NHS
members are expected to maintain and extend the qualities
that won them selection but also understand that membership
is both an honor and an obligation.
