Description: A fast paced game of soccer-like frisbee, perfect for 6 to 10 coworkers who want to get a great workout at lunch.
Equipment needed: Frisbee.

If you happen to have an active bunch in your office, or you’re convincing, get six or more folks together and play a game of ultimate frisbee at lunch. Ultimate is similar to soccer, except you have an end zone instead of a goal. The objective is to score more points than the other team.

To Play:
Find a soccer-sized field, although you can make the field any size you want, and mark each end zone with jackets, soda cans or other markers.

The Rules of the Game:
  1. One team “kicks off” to the other, similar to football.
  2. You must catch the frisbee. If you drop it, the other team takes over from where it lands.
  3. Once you catch it, you must stop where you are and “pass” the frisbee by throwing it to a teammate.
  4. Move down the field via catch and pass until someone catches the frisbee in the end zone (a one-point score).
  5. If while moving, the frisbee is dropped, it goes to the other team, and you’re on defense.
  6. The game ends when a particular score is reached, say 10, or you can play 10-minute “quarters.”
  7. To keep the game somewhat aerobic, keep moving at all times (unless you’re holding the frisbee).
  8. No hitning, kicking or other intentional body contact.
