How to Play Frisbee Football: Game Rules

Video Transcript

"Okay this is great. You have learned all the techniques; you learned how to catch, you learned how to throw and definitely you learned a little bit about the history of Frisbee itself. Now we are going to go into the application of what you learned in actual games. There are two main games that you use for Frisbee one that we are going to explain right now is Frisbee football. It’s a combination of American football and soccer with a little bit of rules of both. Basically here is how it works; you have two teams, one team lines up on one side of the field and the other on the other, when you kick off, you use the Frisbee, it goes to the other team, what they do is they have to pass it back and forth, you get three steps, maybe four steps with the Frisbee as you run with it, then you have to pass it off to another player. Now as long as you keep it in the air and everyone is catching it, it’s fine it stays in motion, but if the team drops the Frisbee, it turns over to the other team, you have give that position three spaces and then the other player from the other team can pick it up and they resume their advancement towards their goal, so it is basically as you see, combination of soccer and football. You score just like you would in football or in Soccer. You have to go over a goal line and you do it in two ways; if you do it as a sort of a field goal, which is a smaller percentage points like three points just like a field goal, you would throw it between goal posts. Otherwise you could run or throw it to another player over the goal line and that also counts as a score, pretty much just like football with a little bit of soccer thrown in. Same on the other side. Another rule is if it goes out of bounce just like soccer, it turns over to the other team, so that is another condition of the rule. So you see how it is a combination of soccer and football together. You see how it stays in motion, you have to be in really good shape to keep going with it, because it moves, moves, moves all of the time. So again it is two teams, it is combination of soccer and football and it moves and if you drop the Frisbee, that is why it is very important to catch it, you get three spaces once you could do lunging or walking it depends on how far you want to go or you could hand it off and it is a lot of fun and it is lot of movements, you have to be in really good shape, so now you see why you need all those techniques to be able to play a game like Frisbee football. There you go."
