Then, the frisbee slows down a bit, sinks down\u2014and Maike plunges forward and catches it with both hands. A perfect throw, a perfect catch. Co-training the team today is Mona Sch\u00e4ck. \u201cNice!\u201d she shouts out.

It is a sport that is performed today even by professional players in its homeland, the US. There, students invented ultimate frisbee back in the 1960s; in 1983, the first championships were held. By now, about five million people go in for the sport in about 40 countries. In Germany, there are a good 200 clubs. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Maike has been playing ultimate frisbee for more than 20 years now. She started at the age of 23 \u201cfor love\u201d. She studied logopaedics in Aachen back then and her boyfriend at the time played frisbee in the university team. She was fascinated, tried it out\u2014and stuck to it. In 2010, the couple moved to Heidelberg because of their jobs. They really wanted to keep on practising their sport, though\u2014and in finding the Heidees in Eppelheim they found their new club. By now, they have married and have four kids together\u2014the oldest of whom already plays ultimate frisbee, too. Since the Heidees do not have their own youth section, she\u2014so far\u2014has been training with the Heidelberg Lions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Everyone is welcome in our teams\u2014with or without sporting ambitions<\/p>\n<cite>Maike Tiro<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt really is an extremely fair sport and a family sport, too,\u201d Maike says. Her daughter had also played handball once, she recounts, \u201cbut the atmosphere is simply incomparable.\u201d It is the \u201cSpirit of the Game\u201d that makes the difference. With few exceptions, there are no referees in the matches. Ultimate frisbee thus is the only team sport worldwide that is self-regulated. \u201cAs players, we take care that everyone plays by the rules,\u201d Maike explains. In doing so, they trust that nobody will break the rules on purpose. Even if ultimate frisbee officially is a non-contact sport\u2014when fighting for the disc, body contact cannot always be avoided. \u201cWhen a player sees a foul she calls it\u2014and either the opposing player accepts it or she argues against it.\u201d If these two players cannot come to an agreement, the game is \u201crewound\u201d and the move right before the alleged foul is simply repeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_098.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_098-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_098-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_098-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_098-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_098-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_098.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Good vibes\u2014the \u201cSpirit of the Game\u201d is the essence of ultimate frisbee.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Loud music echoes across the sports ground in the south of Eppelheim. On the left-hand side of the playing field, the women\u2019s team is training in the evening sun, while the men\u2019s team is playing on the right-hand side. The club also has a mixed team. Elements from basketball and American football are combined in the sport. Seven players compete against seven players on the opposing team during the matches. Whoever catches the disc has to come to a halt and is only allowed to pivot\u2014similar to the rules for playing basketball. Within 10 seconds the frisbee has to be in the air and flying again. If it lands on the ground, the teams switch. The aim is to catch the disc in the end zone \u2014the last 18 metres\u2014of the opposing team on the 100-metre-long playing field. When this happens, the team scores a goal. The match ends when the first team has scored 15 goals\u2014or after an agreed time limit. Then, it is the team with the most goals that wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_045.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_045-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_045-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_045-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_045-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_045-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_045.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The player catching the frisbee in the end zone scores a goal for her team.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Heidees were founded in 2001 as a division of the Turnverein Eppelheim (TVE) sports club. They were able to achieve quite a number of successes since then\u2014every single team, that is. The men\u2019s team (or open division) were runners-up to the German championship title several times. In 2014, they fought for the club in the world championships, just like the mixed division in 2010 and 2014. And the women, too, have been playing in the first league for many years and won the bronze medal at the German championships in 2025 with the chance to play on an international level. There, they will compete as Heidees Synergy\u2014with the support of other teams of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_DM_2025_qu-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_DM_2025_qu-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_DM_2025_qu-1.jpeg 960w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_DM_2025_qu-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_DM_2025_qu-1-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Successful Heidees\u2014the women\u2019s team won the bronze medal at the German championships in 2025.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEveryone is welcome in our teams\u2014with or without sporting ambitions,\u201d Maike says. Each year, the club carries out the Heidees Cup where up to 16 teams compete against each other, but the fun factor here clearly has the upper hand. Here, you might see the contest of the Ugly Aardvarks against the Maultaschen Raviolis or the Bonsais. Maike has actually often considered quitting. \u201cAs a mother of four it can be quite demanding to reconcile family, work and such a time-consuming hobby.\u201d However, she cannot picture a life for herself without the sport yet. \u201cI need the inner balance. After a match I am completely exhausted\u2014but my mind is clear.\u201d Coaching is the only thing that she doesn\u2019t do anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_037.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_037-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_037-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_037-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_037-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_037-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_037.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Maike cannot picture a life for herself without ultimate frisbee.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the women\u2019s team, this task is shared now between players Ava M\u00fcller, Mona Sch\u00e4ck and Karo Gordillo. Ava has been playing ultimate frisbee since the age of 12, initially in Australia where her parents had emigrated to. In 2021, she moved to Heidelberg with her partner Nis-Julius Sontag. Both have been training with the Heidees ever since and they now even play in the national team. As a member of the mixed team, Ava also participates in the World Games\u2014the championships for sports that are not Olympic disciplines. Since the end of 2024, the umbrella organisation of German frisbee clubs Deutscher Frisbeesport-Verband has been a member of the Deutscher Olympischer Sportbund (DOSB)\u2014the German Olympic Sports Association. For Ava, this means one thing above all: \u201cWe receive some financial support now and don\u2019t have to cover all the travel expenses ourselves, like we did in 2025 when we travelled to Chengdu in China.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_049.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_049-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47702\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_049-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_049-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_049-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_049-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_049.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">She participated in the World Games in China in 2025\u2014Ava M\u00fcller.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The perfect mix of techniques and fitness\u2014this is what ultimate frisbee means for Maike. In the team, they train sprinting as well as endurance and throwing techniques: backhand, forehand, overhead as well as mastering the spin of the disc. \u201cThe good news is: I might not run as fast as I used to, but I can compensate for that with my technique and my experience,\u201d Maike explains. This is why men and women can practise this sport so well together in one team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_011.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_011-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_011-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_011-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_011-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_011-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Heidees_011.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In Eppelheim, the sun is now slowly setting.

Even in the indoor season, there are championships\u2014so, if things go really well, teams can rack up two titles in just one year. A double title has, however, not yet been in the cards for one of the Heidees teams. \u201cSo far,\u201d Maike says and laughs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/heidees.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/heidees.de<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of Germany\u2019s most successful women\u2019s ultimate frisbee teams is located in Eppelheim.
