Description:

Just like Arts or school offers a set of sports activities like Ultimate Frisbee, football, volleyball, basketball, athletics, and table tennis. These activities keep us connected to sports. I have selected Ultimate Frisbee, it is a less knows sport played in our school. This deals with a 7-7 team scoring to win a match. It is a non-contact and no-referee game where Spirit makes sure players are on the same page and are following rules.

Reflection:

LO 1: Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth

I have been playing Ultimate frisbee since about a year and am still learning how to play better. During this time I have come to know that because of my height I am a good deep catcher and a decent cutter. I used to play these two positions only and got pretty good at it, whenever I play in school, any tournament, at home or someplace else I used to play as a cutter and a deep catcher in the offense. Also in defense, I did not use to work very hard and run fast enough to make that Defence. I identified these points and worked to improve on them. Eventually, I got better because of more practice and training. Also, I found out my strength which is the advantage of my height and me playing at the positions cutter and deep catcher. It is very important for any player in frisbee to find out their strengths and weaknesses so they can improve and be a better player.

LO 4: Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences

It is very important for a player to show commitment and perseverance in ultimate frisbee or in any sport for that matter. This is because if you don’t practice enough then you might get weaker at it and it will take a little more time to get used to it again. In my case, I have in fact shown perseverance and commitment playing every alternate day so that I do not go off track. During the holidays I play at home with my friends and during school days We have PS which helps us with developing new skills and techniques. Sometimes it’s difficult to be persistent in these commitments for example when I had an injury in my leg and couldn’t play.

LO 5: Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively

Ultimate frisbee is a team sport hence it is very essential to be able to work in a team effectively. There are several players in a team but on field, there are 7 players on the line. When you are one of them it is beneficial if you have good coordination between your team members. I am a part of a club team named “Minions” and according to me, I am well gelled in with the team members. We understand and help each other to become a better player. Also off field, we have a good bond which helps in the game indirectly. Team building and working collaboratively is one of the most crucial components of playing Ultimate frisbee.

Final take away:

Playing Frisbee is one of the most fun activities which involves working in a team, knowing your strengths and working on it. I enjoy very much playing frisbee and this has taught me the art of sportsmanship. Playing Frisbee has led me to meet new people and learn new skills in the process.
