Ultimate Frisbee is a competitive, non-contact, self-refereed team sport played with a Frisbee or similar flying disc most commonly weighing 175 g. It is played by thousands of people around the world. Ultimate mixes the best features of sports such as Soccer, Basketball, American Football and Netball into an elegantly simple, yet fascinating, and demanding game. Ultimate is distinguished by the “Spirit of the Game”, the principles of fair play, sportsmanship, and the joy of play.

Jakarta has had a regular team, called DiscIndo, since 1997 who play every week at the Senayan Complex. DiscIndo have also annually hosted the now world-famous Bali Nusantara Cup since 2000, that is traditionally held during Easter Weekend in Bali, the Island of the Gods.

DiscIndo is comprised of expatriate (70%) and Indonesian men and women who work in both the private and public sector, from all ages. In fact, at last count, the professions DiscIndo members had covered included lawyers, communications consultants, journalists, economists, bankers, stock analysts, social workers, PHD students, advertisers, television professionals, environment protectors, finance managers, president directors, teachers, sales and marketing managers, embassy employees, gamelan players, etc.

As Jakarta and the rest of Indonesia is still largely made up of a culturally homogenous population, the DiscIndo team reveals a refreshing glimpse of a cooperative global tomorrow.

Membership is open to men, women and children of all nationalities. Current number of members is approximately 40. A small fee per session, which is mostly held in English, goes to supporting the cost of the pitch.

We play on the hockey turf fields in the Senayan Sports Complex (www.ultimateindonesia.com/play.html) on Thursdays at 8-10pm and Sundays at 4-6pm. Please contact us first to confirm field availability.

As the name suggests, Ultimate is the greatest sport ever played and invented by man. PLAY ULTIMATE!
