Appendix D: Youth Rules Adaptations. The following adaptations to the rules are recommended for youth ultimate competitions, as defined below. These adaptations may be additions to the current official rules or may supersede existing rules. Other than these additions and changes, the current official rules will apply to youth competition. The goals for Youth Rules Adaptations are to modify the game to make it both safer and more developmentally appropriate for various age groups.
The current age categories are a general approximation of development levels, and are also in part based on factors such as school levels and the breakdown of current age groups participating in the sport. These are likely to become more refined in the future.
The following adaptations to the rules are to be used in beach or sand ultimate competitions. Other than these additions and changes, the current official rules will apply to beach or sand competition. Back to top.

Purposeful , controlled bobbling of the disc to oneself in order to advance the disc is considered traveling and is not allowed unintentional bobbling is allowed. After catching a pass, the receiver is only allowed the fewest number of steps required to come to a stop and establish a pivot foot.
Simultaneous possessions belong to the offensive player. If an airborne receiver jumps and makes a catch, and is contacted by a defensive player before landing, and that contact caused the receiver to land out-of-bounds instead of in-bounds, the receiver either calls themselves out-of-bounds, or calls a foul on the defensive player. Regardless, a check is needed. If a player fumbles a pass as a result of contacting the ground, the pass is incomplete and a turnover results no score if it occurred in the end zone.
If the receiver is running as they catch the disc, the receiver may throw a pass before the third ground contact after catching the disc without coming to a complete stop. A foul can only be called by the player who has been fouled and must be announced by calling, "Foul" loudly immediately after the foul occurred.
Dangerous, aggressive behavior or reckless disregard for the safety of fellow players is always a foul. The player initiating contact is guilty of a foul. After a foul, possession is determined and the disc is checked by the defensive team. If the thrower is fouled in the act of throwing and the pass is completed, the foul is automatically declined and play continues without interruption and the player who was fouled yells, "Play on".
If the marker is fouled in the act of throwing and the pass is not completed, foul is declined and play continues without interruption as the marker's team gains possession at the point of incompletion.
If a player's attempt to make a play on the disc causes significant impact with a legitimately positioned stationary opponent, before or after the disc arrives, it's a foul. If a player contacts an opponent before the disc arrives and thereby interferes with that opponent's attempt to make a play on the disc, it's a foul.
Catching fouls are called when there is contact between opposing players in the process of attempting a catch, interception, or knock-down. A certain amount of incidental contact during or immediately after the catching attempt is often unavoidable and is not a foul.
If a catching foul occurs and is uncontested, the player fouled gains possession at the point of the infraction. If the call is disputed, the disc goes back to the thrower. A defensive foul that occurs in the defensive team's end zone results in the offensive team retaining possession at thegoal line a check is needed.
The game cannot end on a defensive foul. If time expired, the players will be reset to their positions at the time of the foul , and the original offensive team will have one last throw to attempt to score.
For severe behavior: Players guilty of repeated or unsportsmanlike violations will be temporarily removed from play for five minutes, or possibly ejected. In either case, no substitutes will be allowed for those players, regardless of how many goals are scored. Jewelry violations discovered during play will also bring about a five-minute suspension per violator. Remove it before the game! Captains are expected to ensure proper behavior by their players and spectators should an altercation develop.
Traveling: results in continued possession, but re-started from where violation occurred. The thrower must keep all or part of the pivot foot in contact with a single spot on the field.
Although there are no forward movements with a frisbee in your hand, you can pivot like in netball to get into position for a throw. However, you have to make your throw-in in under 10 seconds. Otherwise, your rival team will gain possession of the disc. There are other situations in which the disc can be gained by the opponent team. These violations are — if the disc goes out of bounds, hits the ground somehow, or if it is intercepted.
According to the official rules, a tradition of sportsmanship is followed to police the tournament. It is called the Spirit of the Game, which entails that the players act as their own referee, calling upon fouls. Since there are no referees, resolving any disputes is expected between the two playing teams. But why do a game that has similar elements to football and such other sports have no referee?
Evidently, referees have a cooler mind to observe every move, bring discipline and solve disputes. Be that as it may, no matter what decision the referee announces, it will never seem fair to one team.
After all, you cannot please everybody. The clock is ticking, and imagine losing precious time in the game! Whereas, suppose everybody was more respectful during the tournament and took responsibility for their own actions. In that case, it is a much fairer game, plus valuable time is saved. They often call the Ultimate to be a self-officiating sport.
Considering that a bunch of New Jersey high schoolers came up with the idea of a playful challenge, this game has its ways of maintaining respect between teams of players. A regulation field is 64m by 37m, with endzones 18m deep. Initiate Play — Each point begins with both teams lining up on the front of their respective endzone line.
A regulation game has seven players per team. Play is initiated after each score. Movement of the Disc — The disc may be advanced in any direction by completing a pass to a teammate.
