Ultimate Frisbee

Wednesday February 17 2010

One of our new activities for the weekend was Ultimate Frisbee, a face paced and energetic game that is a cross between

American Football and Netball using a frisbee! We were given some valuable instruction from experienced player Anna

Haynes who had kindly donated her time to show us the ropes.

Firstly we needed to learn how to correctly throw the frisbee to our team mates and as Anna demonstrated the three

different actions required it became apparent that it wasn’t quite as simple as just flicking your wrist!

However, when the time came to have a game we had all learned enough skills enjoy ourselves, with some campers

becoming quite competitive! This will be a sport we will use again in the future as the translation from a stand up activity to

wheelchair occurred with ease, so look out for it in the future!
