The game that takes up my saturday afternoons... I didn't know frisbee was anything more than some flat disc people throw around at the beach/when they're bored/at picnics/for dogs and suchlike animals to catch.
The fact is that Ultimate Frisbee is a pretty wild game, played by 2 teams who need to pass the frisbee towards their opposing goals. Goals/points are scored when a player passes the frisbee to his teammate standing in the opposing goal. Its also kinda like netball where players can't move after catching the frisbee. Read about it here.
Imagine playing this on a wide open field, with gusts of wind blowing the frisbee every which way and adding to the strategy of the game. Do you make a long throw, or wait for the wind to blow in your favour and throw short passes in the meantime? Think lateral; throwing into an empty space is viable if the right height is reached - a well-thrown frisbee has plenty of hang time in the air. The downside? It allows more time for opposing players to gather under the falling frisbee to block the catch.
Actually, saturday is sports day over here in liverpool. Tmrw games begin at 1030 when someone has booked the hall for badminton all the way to 1300 when basketball starts. If people can stand the 2 hours, frisbee begins at 1500 all the way to 1700 depending on the weather and the people. Here's hoping I can finish enough of my SSM to avoid feeling guilty spending most of sat outdoors.
