Frisbee defines recreation. If you do it right, you hardly even have to move your feet – perfect for a lazy afternoon or in between classes. But there are many variations on the classic game that test your Frisbee finesse, and you can experience them all in Chattanooga.
Ultimate Competition
Ultimate Frisbee (or simply Ultimate) is a fast-paced sport that’s also one of the fastest-growing pastimes in the United States. It’s highly competitive, and professionals can actually earn money playing Ultimate. However, it still retains the grassroots feel of its origins.
“It’s wholesome; it’s competitive; you play fair,” says Lori Hairrell, who was one of the first to play in the Chattanooga Ultimate league. Now, as the Executive Director for Re:Start – The Center for Adult Education, she sees Ultimate as “a whole new adult education.”
This year, Re:Start sponsors Hairrell’s Ultimate team. “I believe in it so much that I’m willing to put Re:Start’s name on the disc,” she says.
