Have you considered playing Ultimate Frisbee?
Ultimate is a cross between football, basketball, and being awesome. The aim of the game is to pass the frisbee/disc to one of your players who is standing in the opposition team’s endzone which results in a goal. The team with the most goals at the end of the match wins.
You cannot run while holding the disc, nor tackle someone holding it. Instead, possession flips if and when the disc is dropped or intercepted. This results in a fast, free-flowing game. Instead of professional referees, players referee themselves. This makes for a very friendly game, with a strong spirit of fair play.
Another bonus of Ultimate at Hamilton is that it’s a mixed gender sport. There are typically 3 Gx (girl-identifying) and 4 Bx (boy-identifying) for each team on the field at a time during a game. It works great as a mixed gender sport and provides an opportunity to build a sense of community with all your peers. Girls and non-binary students are especially encouraged to tryout as there is often the need for more gender balanced teams.

Reasons to play Ultimate 🥏
It’s a fantastic source of exciting exercise – you’ll be running, jumping, changing direction quickly, catching and throwing.
You’ll improve all aspects of athleticism, including your hand-eye coordination — there are more ways of throwing and catching a disc than you think!
Ultimate is also very friendly to people of all different ages. Teenagers can play alongside adults closer to 50 (of both genders), and it's possible for teams to stay balanced. So you can look forward to decades of playing!
There’s a surprisingly large community of people who play worldwide. You can find pick-up games in many cities and countries – cue hours of unexpected disc throwing fun and a good opportunity to meet new people!
It takes almost no equipment – a disc, cleats, layers for the weather, some friends, and space to run around is all you need.
~ Thanks to Rory O'Keeffe from Ireland for this excellent list of reasons to play Ultimate!~
