Welcome to Central Coast Ultimate Frisbee
Central Coast Ultimate Frisbee is a club for anyone between Sydney and Newcastle who enjoys the sport of Ultimate - a great way to exercise and improve fitness while having awesome fun on the field.
While some schools on the Central Coast have offered Ultimate Frisbee as a sport, the Gosford and Wyong Shires have been without a dedicated Ultimate club for everyone for some years, and we think it's time we brought it back!
Take a look through the website, and come and have a throw with us soon!
What Is Ultimate Frisbee?
Once the frisbee is in play, the person holding it cannot run with it but must look for open players to throw it to in order to advance the disc up the field. There are no offsides, and if the frisbee is intercepted, knocked down by the defence or simply fails to be caught by a member of the offensive team then the frisbee is turned over and the teams switch from offence to defence and vice-versa. To score, a player from the offensive team must catch the disc with both feet in the end-zone. Ultimate is a very fast game, with lots of running, sprinting and marking as well as throwing the frisbee. One of the most unique features of the game is the fact that there are no referees, and the Spirit Of The Game ensures that games are played fairly yet competitively.

The easiest way of explaining Ultimate to those unaware of the sport is that it's a free-flowing non-contact game that combines netball, AFL, touch football and gridiron and is played on a field roughly the the width of a football field and about 30m wide. The official dimensions are represented on the illustration here.Copyright Note: "Frisbee" is the trademark for the line of discs made by the Wham-O toy company. In fact, discs made by Wham-O competitor Discraft are the ones we use. Strictly speaking, the sport is simply known as Ultimate, and we use 'discs' to play it, but in the minds of most people it will always be called Ultimate Frisbee - which is why we are Central Coast Ultimate Frisbee.
