Highlight videos & film in Ultimate
Video is a powerful tool
The primary reason I started watching highlight videos was to get excited about my upcoming game. But the more I thought about it, I realized that I could use game replays to improve my game as well. To improve in a mainstream sport, it is understood that you must watch a lot of video related to your sport. This will help you to learn about new possibilities and strategies. It’s the same in Ultimate, where watching good players will usually show you some new tricks. Ultimate is a relatively new sport. This correlates to a low amount of video recordings. Here’s a list of the best types of videos to watch, search for these keywords on YouTube:
- NexGen Tour (a true step forward in the filmography of Ultimate)
- Ultiworld
- Club Nationals
- College Nationals
- AUDL full game
- WUCC (World Ultimate Club Championships)
Some of these types will have overlap. It’s a great idea to spend time reviewing film to improve your own game. And for a higher fun-to-time ratio, watch highlight videos with these kinds of keywords:
- Callahan
- AUDL weekly highlights
- Ultimate ESPN Top 10
I’m sure you can find your own from related videos. Here are a few of my favorite full games and highlight videos:
- 2012 NexGen Ultimate Tour - NexGen vs San Francisco Revolver FULL GAME
- Revolver v. Ironside (2014 U.S. Open Men’s Semifinal) FULL GAME
- Justin Allen Callahan 2014
- Dylan Freechild- Callahan Nominee 2013
- Jimmy Mickle For Callahan 2014
- Layout Grab from Freespeed vs Furious George
- Stanley Peterson - “Amazing Ultimate Frisbee Catch”
- Josh Zipperstein Layout Number One [WARNING: VOLUME]

Watching and analyzing video is a powerful tool, both to bolster your excitement for the game and to discover new ways to play.
