Basically, anybody who can run and throw at their local park is able to play Ultimate. However, if you are looking to play at the highest level, the fundamental skills required to play well are:

• Speed
• Agility
• Endurance
• Solid forehand and backhand technique
• Height or good vertical leap

Of course, there are different positions on the field (similar to AFL Forwards, Defenders, Midfielders and Ruckmen) and different skill sets will suit different positions, so you don’t need to do everything. We have some 6’5” players, some just over 5’. We have speedy teenagers, and grinding oldies. Ultimate offers a range of positions to which any skills can be applied.
