Meet the Newcastle Ultimate Frisbee team

Do you even disc?


It may sound pretty rogue, but Ultimate Frisbee is a popular sport at unis across the country.

The non contact sport is played using a disc on an American football pitch, and they train four times a week. We spoke to the people behind the team, asking a bit about where they like to go out in Newcastle.
