Did You Know Lebanon Has an Ultimate Frisbee Team?
Lebanon’s love for sports isn’t just limited to basketball and football…did you know that we have an ultimate frisbee team?
What’s Ultimate Frisbee?
Ultimate frisbee, officially called ultimate and developed back in 1968 in New Jersey, is a non-contact team sport where players throw a flying disc (frisbee) by hand.
The game involves two teams of seven players each competing on a field similar in length to a football field. The field has a narrower width and “end zones” at each end. The team scores when a player catches the disc in the opposing team’s end zone.
Here’s what a game of ultimate frisbee looks like (and yes, it’s a lot harder than it looks):
