Abstract
Abstract: As university physical education becomes more diverse, Ultimate Frisbee has emerged as a course option that combines competition, enjoyment, and cooperation. Using functionalist theory together with survey and interview evidence, this study investigates the sport's social roles in higher education. Results indicate that participation supports physical fitness and teamwork while also encouraging socialization, inclusive values, campus-sport culture, and student identity. Although Ultimate Frisbee is internationally recognized for both athletic and educational value, Chinese research has largely emphasized technique rather than wider social outcomes. By addressing that gap, the study explains how the sport contributes to a more active and cohesive campus environment. It concludes by identifying barriers to wider adoption and proposing curriculum, policy, and implementation measures for improving university physical education.
