In outdoor Ultimate, approximately how many players are on a full squad, allowing subs and rest?

• A. 7 players
• B. 10-15+ players
• C. 20 players
• D. 5-6 players

Answer: (B)

In outdoor Ultimate, seven players are on the field at once, but the squad includes the substitutes who rotate in for rest and to cover fatigue or injuries. Substitutions happen during stoppages, so you want enough players to run multiple lines and keep the pace high across a game. Across different levels, a practical squad size is roughly 10 to 15 or more players. This gives you several offensive and defensive options, lets players rest between points, and still handles unexpected changes without forcing everyone to play every point. A much smaller group would burn players out quickly, while a very large roster isn’t necessary for most matches. So this range captures the typical depth teams aim for when playing outdoor Ultimate.
