Ultimate Frisbee is a 7-on-7 person game played on a rectangular field with two end zones; it is often likened to a mix of American football, soccer and basketball. The object of the game is to score a point by catching a pass in the opponent’s end zone. It is played using a flying disc or a Frisbee and is one of the fastest growing sports in the world. It is unique because unlike other sports it is Co-ed, non-contact, self-refereed and takes team spirit very seriously.
Usha has been actively involved in uplifting grass-root level sports talent in India. For over 25 years, Usha has supported the Mawana Marathon and the Ladies, Amateur and Junior Golf. In the inaugural season of Indian Super League Usha was seen as the principal sponsor of the FC Goa team.
