Ultimate Frisbee coming to Raynham in one long huck!

RAYNHAM, MA — Every Tuesday, 6pm to dark, at Mill Street (aka: Legion) Field, a group of dedicated, local Ultimate Frisbee players will be playing and teaching this exciting new (to this area) game. All are welcome to play for free!

Ultimate Frisbee is a non-contact, self-officiated sport that is one of the fastest growing sports in the world, and growing even faster in North America. Combining elements of football and basketball (and the cutting of soccer) with a plastic flying disc, Ultimate Frisbee is played by two teams of seven players on a 120 yard long by 40 yard wide field, including two 25 yard deep end-zones (like American football). One team tries to score by passing the disc between its players, advancing up the field until a pass caught in the end-zone for a score. If the disc hits the ground, lands out of bounds or is blocked or caught by the other team, then possession switches (like basketball) while gameplay continues non-stop until one team scores. Check out a more complete outline of the rules here: <Ultimate Frisbee in 10 Simple Rules>.

The first, and most important rule of Ultimate Frisbee is "Spirit of the Game," <www.UPA.org/spirit>, "Ultimate Frisbee relies upon a spirit of sportsmanship that places the responsibility for fair play on the player. Highly competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of mutual respect among competitors, adherence to the agreed upon rules, or the basic joy of play."

A recent survey (conducted by Survey USA for www.SGMA.com), showed that Ultimate Frisbee is played by three times as many people as lacrosse and rugby, combined. More than two million people said they've played Ultimate Frisbee in the past 12 months.

Now through the end of October, women and men, ages 18-50+, are invited to learn while playing, at the Mill Street (aka: Legion) Field, located at 270 Mill Street, Raynham, MA 02767, next to American Legion Post 405. Player/coach team captains will teach you this great game while you're getting a great workout. Free one-on-one coaching will be available to those who arrive before 6pm. Raynham residents Chris Yule, Dave Sherburne, Tom Yule and Ryan Whitty spearheaded the effort, and worked hard to start this pickup game.

If you want to play, either subscribe to the <Raynham...@googlegroups.com> eMaiList, or, just show up on Tuesday night at Mill Street Field with your own water bottle, and a White shirt and a Black or Dark Blue shirt. Cleated running shoes are helpful, but not required.

This Ultimate Frisbee pickup game is offered free of charge thanks to the assistance of the Boston Ultimate Disc Alliance <www.BUDA.org>and the Raynham Parks and Recreation Department. If you have any questions, please call or TXT MSG the group leader and Lakeville resident, José Invêncio, 508-692-8505. See you on the fields.
