Maybe you have played it, or maybe you have not, if you are in the latter group I recommend that you try it.  Ultimate is the best sport there is.  It is a good workout and a better way to meet really neat people.   It combines most skill sets from other sports, but trumps all with it’s ability to bring people together.  The New York Times published an article on the sport yesterday.  It is a nice piece.  Two quotes struck me most.

“While there are significantly fewer female players than male players, most people who play say that the community aspect of Ultimate is a large part of why they play.”  -Peri Kurshan

“At first I thought it was just something you did while in college, but not as a ‘grown-up.”  – - “But the eclectic, close-knit community was tough to leave behind”

We all desire friends and need community.  Where is yours?  If you do not have an answer go play a game of pick up ultimate.  You are sure to find both there.
