Wikipedia
Schtick (disc game)

Schtick disc (or simply schtick) is a limited-contact team sport played with two or more flying discs ( Frisbees), and although considered a variant of ultimate disc, shares little similarities beyond the use of discs. For instance, schtick players are permitted to run whilst holding the disc.

The sport is known for its relaxed and friendly style of play, and the unusual strategic dimension added by the use of multiple play objects. Additionally, the allowance of running with the disc and generally more forgiving operations of play than most team sports makes the game more fun and accessible to players of varied abilities than traditional ultimate.
