Parent Guide
“It’s great exercise, fully inclusive and has responsibility, fun and teamwork at its heart.”
Ultimate is a fast-moving game which can help young people stay fit and healthy. There are lots of opportunities to develop new skills and it’s a great way to socialise and make friends. Take a look at this video to learn more.
“It’s a fast dynamic, inclusive game which taps into many skills. It is very different to my original perception. I’ve watched my son grow in confidence and thoroughly enjoy taking part in what is great fun and great exercise.”
Preparation
Wear any comfortable sports clothes.
Wear trainers for sports hall or hard ground.
Football boots are best for soft grass.
There can be lots of running around so water and snacks are essential.
Be prepared for rain or shine.
Take warm clothes for cold weather including gloves.
Take a disc if you have one.
“It’s good fun, really good exercise and I really like playing as a team. I just love frisbee!”
How can you get involved?
You may find a local junior club or an adult club where under 18s are welcome.
If you can't find a suitable club, why not start your own kids Ultimate club or group. You can do our coaching qualifications and join the UKU Coach Register.
Some parents also get hooked themselves and find places they can play alongside their children.
Safeguarding children and young people in Ultimate.
As the national governing body of Ultimate in the UK, we recognise our responsibility towards creating and maintaining a culture that protects all players, and especially children and young people.
