Turku Universities' Ultimate Team is a sports club with it's main focus on the sport of Ultimate Frisbee. Ultimate is played by two opposing teams on a field marked with two end zones, much like in American football, using a flying disc or frisbee. The object of the game is to catch the disc in the opponents end zone. The player in possession of the disc can only pivot on one foot and the disc is moved along the field of play by passing it among your teammates. Ultimate is a non-contact sport which is governed by the Spirit of the Game, a tradition of sportsmanship that places the responsibility for fair play on the players. The rules of the game and easygoing nature of the players makes this sport suitable for people of all ages and both sexes. There is no prerequisite knowledge or level of physical fitness, as these can be developed over time. To begin playing Ultimate is very easy, all you need is some sports clothes and shoes (cleats for the summer and indoor shoes for the winter). TUUT as a club has been in existence for 2 years now with the original group of players consisting mostly of law school students and graduates. Now TUUT has students from all three of Turku's universities as well as graduates, staff and others. We play twice a week during the summer and once a week during the winter season (indoors) and make a habit of taking part in student-/fun-oriented weekend tournaments all over Finland. We have even taken part in tournaments in Novgorod, Russia and Tallinn, Estonia. If you would like to try out this sport please contact us or come see us during the marked training times. For those who have never thrown a frisbee we recommend joining us at one of the beginner's sessions (an hour before normal playing time on on the marked days) and we will show you how it all works. Joining the club doesn't cost anything. Training times can br found on the page marked "Treeniajat" and to find the field use the "Kartta" (Map) link.
