What is USA Goaltimate?
USA Goaltimate was established in 2017 as the national governing body for the sport. We're a group of players and organizers who volunteer our time to organize championship events, govern the ruleset, and promote the sport nationwide.
What is goaltimate?
Fast-paced and physical, it is the half-court game of ultimate. Continuous play and a shorter stall count give players a more aerobic workout, and emphasizes multiple quick passes over hucks. With only four players per team on the field at once, and hockey-style subbing, every player is guaranteed to be involved with the game or play at hand.
Goaltimate has the same base rules as ultimate: move the disc from person to person to score in the goal area, players must stop and set a pivot foot while in possession of the disc, no intentional fouling or stripping of the disc. See the rules.
Where it came from
Goaltimate was born on a snowy Christmas Day in 1978 in Wellesley, Massachusetts. Read the story.
