And when they don’t, well, there’s a longer conversation. If both players agree on the foul, there’s a re-do on the play. If a defender hits a player in the arm instead of the disc, for example, the thrower can call a foul. That conflict resolution is what players call the “spirit of the game.” Every game is an exercise in communication, honesty, and sometimes, anger management.

Tackling isn’t allowed.Īnd there are no referees outside the pro league, which means the players have to call their own fouls and sort out any disagreements - including whether someone fast-counted to 10. Any of the seven players on a team can catch and throw, and a player with the disc in their hands has until a count of 10 to throw it or it’s an automatic turnover. The offense receives a kickoff, called a “pull,” players complete passes to move the disc toward their end zones for one point per score, and the defense tries to force a turnover by intercepting or knocking down the disc. The 7-versus-7 sport is a bit like football, though there is no quarterback. Its first home game as a professional team is set for May 28 at the University of Denver. The Summit, announced in December as the latest ultimate disc expansion team to go pro, will compete in the American Ultimate Disc League, playing 24 other teams in the United States and Canada. The game on prison turf was part rehabilitation for young offenders, part outreach from Colorado’s newest professional sports team - the Colorado Summit. On a sunny winter day, two groups of about 30 young people in the program met on dry grass for a lesson in ultimate disc, a growing, but still little-known sport that’s so far been mostly for white kids in upper-middle-class neighborhoods.
