I'm going to be a sophmore in high school and want to join a sport. Neither have I played before but both are spring sports and seem interesting. I would describe myself as fast, competitive and aggressive but lack endurance. I mostly just want to have a good time and not join pay for equipment then hate it later. Please tell me which sport seems more fitting for me, thanks.

Judging by your name I am going to assume you are a girl, I'm sorry if I'm wrong.

I play girls lacrosse and I think joining the team freshman year was one of the best decisions I ever made. Like lacrosse, ultimate frisbee consists of technique, skill, and tricks, but I think ultimate is much simpler than lacrosse because in lacrosse you have to learn everything from scratch with your stick -- cradling, throwing, catching, shooting, dodging, ground balls, as well as the rules. If you've played soccer or basketball, you might see some resemblances and it might help with the transition. Still, I walked into tryouts knowing absolutely nothing and I still had a good time. I'm not saying frisbee is easier, I just think it's a simpler concept for a beginner to pick up. But everyone starts out as a beginner, and it just depends on how much effort and patience you are willing to put in.

Your aggression and speed would be useful for both sports, but perhaps more in lacrosse. I don't think there is as much running in ultimate because of a smaller field and also the pivot rule. In lacrosse, endurance isn't that important so long as you don't play midfield. As for equipment, we definitely have more than frisbee (stick, face cage, mouthguard) but maybe you can borrow some from your coach or someone for tryouts, or purchase very cheap ones for temporary use.

I know I'm biased but girls lacrosse is a great sport, especially for fast girls, and I personally recommend it. But it's really up to you, and it might help to watch a few videos. From watching, which do you want to play more? Which do you see yourself playing?

Good luck :)

Ultimate frisbee is one of the best sports ever. Until you've played it people think it's a stupid sport, and so did I. But i would play it everyday if I could!

Endurance will come with playing so don't worry about that. But If I was you, frisbee all the way.. And if you're like me, you will absolutely love it.

Hope this helps

Girls lacrosse, you have all the right qualities (speed and aggressivness) you just need to build up endurance and it's fun. It's expensive but totally worth it. Ok, I've never played ultimate frisbee before, but in lacrosse you sprint a lot and you get to throw heavy balls at people. Ultimate frisbee do looks really fun, no one in my region has any sort of team for that, so I can't help you on that but good luck :)

WHEN DID ULTIMATE FRISBEE BECOME A SPORT. Do people like walk around in varsity jacket bein' like "hey girl,, I'm a varsity frisbee player"
