Re: Ultimate Frisbee
I'd suggest that the level of athleticism at the very top of ultimate is probably comparable to A-league soccer (though the specific athletic skills vary - ultimate tends to place more of a premium on the 6'2" runner guy than on the 5'5" squirelly guy who does just fine in most soccer positions aside from central defense/goalkeeper). Very very good athletes who are just a notch below that absolutely elite level - usually in terms of that extra bit of size/height while not sacrificing mobility.
