Ultimate Frisbee is now known in many countries simply as the less-catchy "Ultimate" due to the fact that Frisbee is 🌜 a registered trademark.

It is a fast-paced sport with similarities to netball, football (soccer) and American Football.

Played by around five million 🌜 people in the US and with leagues in the UK and other European countries, Ultimate is a far cry from 🌜 the humble origins of the Frisbee.

As with many inventions there are multiple reported variations on how Frisbees came to be, 🌜 but the commonly agreed version is that it comes from the Frisbie Baking Company, whose empty metal pie tins were 🌜 thrown by college students in the 1920s.

Subsequently, in 1948, Walter Morrison invented a plastic version with improved aero-dynamics, and then 🌜 followed the Pluto Platter.
