“When a ball dreams, it dreams it’s a Frisbee.” - Stancil Johnson

1968, a tumultuous year for America and the world. Martin Luther King, Jr., and then Bobby Kennedy were assassinated, a war raged in Vietnam and the country was coming to grips with the civil rights and women’s rights revolutions. But, in one corner of the country, in Maplewood, things were changing for the better. That year, staff members of the Columbia High School ’s newspaper, The Colombian, and its Student Council developed an entirely new sport as a gag and an activity for their high school nights. Led by Joel Silver — the willful, if somewhat arrogant, member of the Council and the newspaper — the students adapted the rules of Frisbee Football and ultimately invented the fast-moving team sport we know today. The sport of Ultimate.-(From www.whatisultimate.com)

Everything in Ultimate is based on the "Spirit of the Game", and as disciples we should excell in this and as a result use it to our advantage to reach out to other players.
