In Thiruvananthapuram, a group of more than 500 people have come together to promote the exciting sport of Ultimate Frisbee.

So, what exactly is Ultimate Frisbee?

Ultimate Frisbee is a self-refereed non-contact sport where two teams of ideally seven players each try to move a flying disc up the field and score a point by catching it within one of the end zones. 

The ideal outdoor fields are usually 100 meters long with 18-meter end zones at each end.

If a team manages to reach the opposing end zone and catch the disc within it, they score a point. 

Then the opposing team starts from the scored end and tries to reach the other end zone of the field.

The players can only throw the disc to their teammates, and cannot move while holding it, like in basketball.
