OVERVIEW
This game combines the use of a Frisbee and Soccer Ball it is played on a Soccer Field. It utilizes the goals of the Soccer Field when scoring with the Soccer Ball. Cones are placed in the corners of the Soccer Field and the box that the cones make with the Soccer Field parameter lines are used as the goals for the Frisbee. See the RULES section for placement of the cones.

HISTORY
Both Ultimate Frisbee and Soccer have been around for many years but the combining of both sports into one was the idea of two military officers Jeffery Hoover II and James Westfall. Their commanding officer directed them to create a new port that would challenge the players and give the players a great cardio workout while playing the sport.

Jeff and James upon looking at the abilities of the officers in their organization wanted to come up with something simple that most people could adapt too quickly. Many of the officers were good at either Ultimate Frisbee or Soccer but few were good at both. This sparked an idea in both Jeff and James and led them to create Ultimate Froccer a combination of both Soccer and Ultimate Frisbee.

STARTING THE GAME
One team will start with both the Soccer Ball and Frisbee. The soccer ball will be in their possession on their own goal line and the Frisbee will be thrown to the other team. This allows for each team to start with one of the scoring objects. At the start of the second half the other team will start with both objects in the same manner.

FRISBEE

 * The Frisbee will be advanced by passing from teammate to teammate. Once the Frisbee hits the ground possession is turned over to the other team.  The Frisbee can only be held for no more than 5 seconds.  The opponent can count this aloud and it is thier responsibility to keep track of the count.

SOCCER

 * The ball is moved in a normal soccer manner.

FRISBEE

 * 1 point will be scored with the Frisbee when a team member catches the Frisbee in the goal. The team member must be established inside the goal prior to the catch.

SOCCER

 * 1 point will be scored when the soccer ball crosses the goal line.

OVERALL

 * Once the Frisbee or the Soccer Ball is scored the other object is still in play until scored or play is dead. The Soccer Ball is considered dead when it is kicked out of bounds.  The Frisbee is considered dead when it hits the ground.  If a team scores with both, they score an additional point.

START AFTER SCORING

 * If one team scored with both objects then the team that scored will throw the Frisbee to the other team and the receiving team will also start with the soccer ball at their own goal line.


 * If each team scored with one object then team that scored with the Frisbee will start with the soccer ball on their goal line and will also throw the Frisbee to the other team. This allows each team to possess the object they did not score with.


 * If only one team scored then the team that scored on will have the choice of which object to start with. They can either start with the soccer ball and throw the Frisbee or they can receive the Frisbee.

RULES

 * No Goalies


 * Safety is #1; keep your eyes on both the soccer ball and Frisbee.


 * If there is a small group to play (aprox 6 or less per team) then the soccer goal will be used for the Frisbee as well. In this case the Frisbee only needs to be thrown into the goal and does not need to be caught.  The Frisbee will need to be thrown from outside the goal box (18 yards out) to count as a score.


 * If there is a medium group to play (aprox 7 or 8 per team) the there will be one end zone established on either end of the field opposite corners.  The Frisbee will then need to be caught in the end zone just like Ultimate Frisbee.


 * If there is a large group (aprox 9 or more per team) then there will be two end zones established per end of the field, one at each corner. The Frisbee will then need to be caught in the end zone just like Ultimate Frisbee.
