Getting married, moving to a new city, and winter put a damper on playing Ultimate. Two months ago i found an indoor ultimate league. I had never played indoor ultimate before so i did not know what to expect. I ended up on the Red team. The 4 teams were Red, Blue, Black, and Green. Our 1st game was to be against the Blue team. After 6 weeks with one bye week we ended the season with a record of 3-1-1. We beat Green twice, Blue once, Tied Black and lost to Blue. We played well together and had a lot of fun.
There are some differences to those looking to play indoor ultimate. Since you are indoor there is no wind. You sub on the fly (hockey style). The field is smaller so the end zones are also smaller. Due to the size of the court we had we played with 4 people on the court at a time. You do more cutting, or you should do more cutting. Since there are fewer players on the court you have to hustle more. Where ultimate i often describe as similar to football in layout and soccer in play; indoor ultimate is defiantly closer in play to basketball or disc hoops. There are still no picks. From how Red played and what i saw of the other teams play there were way to many full court hucks to score in one throw. Some were successful, some were not. Having no previous indoor experience i don't know if that is common or not. All in all indoor ultimate was really fun. I think i prefer ultimate to indoor but indoor is a good variation.
