You'll need a white t-shirt and a dark-colored t-shirt.
In each game, each team wears a different colored shirt
to make it easy to tell who is on which team.
Soccer cleats and shorts or sweatpants will do quite nicely.
Please also bring water to drink.
The Rules in Spring Ultimate
Normal rules of Ultimate will be used for Spring League, with
heavy emphasis on Spirit of the Game.
If you're not familiar with the rules of ultimate, you can check out
some simplified rules of Ultimate.

All Spring League games are played according to the 10th edition rules,
with only a few minor modifications.
Except at the highest levels of competition, ultimate is generally
played without referees. This works surprisingly well, because (a) the
rules are pretty simple, and (b) there's a very high level of sportsmanship
among ultimate players that we like to call "the Spirit of the Game."
This means that while intense and athletic play is encouraged, intentional
fouling and play that is dangerous to others are considered gross offenses
against the spirit of sportsmanship. Because there are no referees policing
our behavior in this league, it is especially important that all players
uphold their responsibilities to play honestly, fairly, and safely.
In Spring League, we insist on great spirit from all teams. This means
making sure players of all skill levels get plenty of chances to catch the disc,
a positive attitude toward opponents, cheering the other team after every game,
and showing lots of respect to players on both teams who are beginners.
