Of course the first thing you’ll need it a Frisbee! The most common kinds are made of plastic and come in all sorts of cool colors. If you are planning to play a serious game, or want to play an organized game of Ultimate, you'll also need cleats or tennis shoes with good tread. Kneepads aren’t a bad idea and are a great way to avoid scratching up your knees.
When playing a game of Frisbee, just make sure that you don't throw too hard and always try and stay on your feet while playing. If you are playing a more intense game of Ultimate also make sure to avoid diving for the Frisbee.
It’s important to warm up and stretch before any game. Listen to your body! Don't play through any pain. If you are injured, wait until you’ve healed before starting to play again. And if you have glasses or braces, wear protective eye or mouth guards.
Whether you're just tossing the Frisbee with friends or playing a competitive game of Ultimate, make sure to drink plenty off water before, during and after your game [link to Keeping Your Cool]. It’s also a good idea to wear sunscreen to keep from burning [link to Sun Proof] and bug repellent to keep the bugs where they belong – off of you!
If you want to make your Frisbee soar, make sure you put lots of spin on it when you throw. Spinning helps keep the Frisbee from flipping over, which would put an end to your throw. Frisbee designers help you by making the edges thicker than the rest of the Frisbee and by putting tiny ridges on the top to help keep it balanced.
