Flying disc (ultimate) · base setup

Mark your space

Mark it once. Every card in flying disc (ultimate) starts from this space and adds what it needs.

Fits: Yard or lane, Park, Ground or field

Seen from above, to scale: 10 m by 20 m.

The space

A yard or park of about 20 m by 10 m; two cones as end zones; a wall is not needed. Full-size field: ask the club.

Where it fits: lane, park, school ground, village ground. Wind changes the flight: a disc thrown into the wind rises, with the wind sinks.

Mark in this order

  • The throwing line
  • Two cones 10 strides apart
  • End zones

Chalk or tape is enough. Tick each mark as you make it.

Practice kit first

A soft disc, a foam plate or a bean bag or squishy ball for rules practice (Speed Ball).

Safety

No contact; players make their own calls and replay a play they cannot agree on; warm up first; the marker keeps an arm's length and only one player marks; never throw into a group; indoors keep throws short.
