What does the term 'check feet' mean in Ultimate?

• A. Checking Whether You Are Out of Bounds
• B. A Type of Throw
• C. A Defensive Stance
• D. Check Feet

Answer: (D)

In Ultimate, foot position relative to the field boundaries matters a lot. “Check feet” is a quick, practical cue telling you to verify where your feet are before you move or throw. It means you should confirm your feet are in legal bounds and properly planted (for a pivot, the pivot foot stays in contact with the ground and you aren’t stepping out of bounds). This helps prevent violations like travels or out-of-bounds calls and keeps the play legal. It isn’t about a throw style or a defensive stance; it’s about confirming your footing is in-bounds and legally positioned. The phrase itself is the instruction to literally check your feet.
