ABSTRACT
Anyone can play this game. (Will/Interview)
It is a common claim made by ‘Ultimate frisbee’ players that ‘anyone’ could play their game. In this chapter I explore Ultimate players’ struggles over their (athletic) embodiment and identity. My research shows that although Ultimate players reject and limit identifications with dominant sporting ideals they also continue to embrace some of their qualities. This process of identification suggests that maybe not ‘everyone’ will be able to become part of the Ultimate community.
