Ultimate Frisbee is a fun, low cost game that can be enjoyed by everyone. Ultimate Frisbee was created in the summer of 1968 by Joel Silvers. The game was developed whilst Joel was attending an enrichment program in Northfield, Massachusetts. Joel returned to Columbia High School in Maplewood, NJ where he got the new sport added into the curriculum.
Ultimate Frisbee, or Ultimate as it is also known, has expanded to colleges around the country and gained enough popularity where unofficial National Championships were held in the mid to late 1970s.
