| The basic offensive structure in Ultimate is called the “swing”: the lateral movement of the disc from one player to another across the field. A single swing play gains only limited forward progress, but several successive swings can gain significant progress towards the endzone. The main objective of the offense is to move the disc down the field and into the endzone. Unfortunately, the defense is trying their best to prevent this. Because the defense is keeping forward progress of the disc at a minimum, the majority of the passes in Ultimate are made laterally, back and forth across the field. |  |
