Ultimate Frisbee is a challenging activity that can contribute to meeting the first three 2024 SHAPE America National Physical Education Standards for middle and high school students. Ultimate Frisbee is different from other invasion games in that it is a no-contact and self-officiated (i.e., without a referee) game in which the “spirit of the game” prescribes how students should behave on the field. This article outlines an eight-lesson unit aimed at developing skillful play through a progression of game situations. The goals of the unit are to (1) develop functional use of basic techniques and tactical actions, (2) gain support and ensure possession of the Frisbee, (3) prevent scoring opportunities and gain possession of the Frisbee, and (4) maintain fair play. Pedagogical principles, common errors, and an assessment method are also included in the article
