Frasba dal Lac is Como’s Ultimate Frisbee team.
The team finished second in the 2009 Italian Championships in Parma and took first place in the “Alpidisc 10” Indoor Mixed Tournament, held in Châtillon on 27 and 28 March 2010.
Ultimate is the ultimate team sport: by its very nature, every player relies on their teammates to score. Two teams of seven players compete on a 100 × 37-metre pitch, laid out like a rugby field.
The aim of the game is to score a point by catching a pass in the end zone being attacked. When a player has possession of the disc, they cannot move around the field but may pivot on one foot, as in basketball. The disc must be passed from one player to another, making it impossible for a single player to score alone.
The philosophy behind the sport is based on the Spirit of the Game, which means respecting opponents and the rules while striving for the highest level of competition without compromising fair play.
For this reason, Ultimate is played without a referee. Players are entirely responsible for their conduct on the field. When an incident occurs, the players involved briefly explain their respective points of view. If they cannot reach an agreement, play resumes from the point immediately before the incident that caused the stoppage.
One of Ultimate’s defining features is its high level of athleticism and fast-paced action, making it an exciting and entertaining sport both to watch and to play.
