Does fast-paced action involving two teams trying to advance a ball into an end zone sound familiar?

Some people would think of soccer or possibly football, but actually for those who do not know, Ultimate Frisbee fits into that category as well.

Ultimate Frisbee is a sport growing in popularity, and UW-Platteville has its own Ultimate Frisbee Club.

According to the club’s Web site, uwplatt.edu/org/ultimate/, the club was founded in 2000 and has been participating in games against themselves and other schools since.

Ultimate Frisbee is a game played with a Frisbee disc on a field that is 40 yards wide by 120 yards long.

According to the club’s Web site, the games tend to last upwards of an hour, depending greatly on spirit because there is no referee in Ultimate Frisbee.

“Its all about team and having fun,” Jared Prado, a sophomore criminal justice and Spanish major, said. “It’s a lot of running, but everyone gets their hands on the disc and has a chance to be the star.”

One thing that really is important in Ultimate Frisbee is teamwork.

The team must communicate and move the Frisbee together down the field, and they must also communicate on defense as in any other sport.

“The thing that makes a team the most successful is their ability to play together and get along,” Mitch Artz, freshman computer information systems major and member of the club, said. “You really need to trust the people around you so that you don’t get into a bad position.”

The team recently traveled to a tournament in Whitewater and finished in second place, Toby Wex, computer science major and member of the club, said.

The club has upcoming matches in the next weeks in Northfield, Minn., where the team will participate in the Exit 69 Tournament Oct. 13-14 and will be in Eau Claire the following weekend for The Real EauC ChillOut.

In the spring, the club will also travel to Georgia to play in a tournament with teams from around the country.

The club practices on Mondays and Wednesdays at the UW-P rugby fields at 4 p.m. and on Fridays at 3 p.m.
