Frisbee (PS)

Ultimate frisbee is a mixed gender game played on a 110m x 37m field by 7 players on each side. This is a less known game in India but our school offers it as a personal sports preference. I have opted for ultimate frisbee as my PS because it seems quite interesting to me and it also has a high level of sportsmanship and spirit which improve the day to day behavior of a person. I have been learning frisbee since the grade-10 but I have still taken it up as one of my CAS activities because I want to improve my game-sense and game-style in the span of grade-11. I will also participate in 2-3 frisbee tournaments that will be held in Surat. The strand covered through this task is “activity”.

It was very much necessary for me to identify my weaknesses which were backhand throws and game sense because only then I could have made my game style better. Improving on the aspects that I lack will also help my team as a whole as everyone matters in any team sport.

While learning strategies to improve my game sense was easy, improving my backhand throws was comparatively harder. I had to practice them daily and also practice them in the matches.

However, with time, I was able to learn them properly with respect to the wind and I also built a significant amount of self-confidence.
