Ultimate Frisbee
Sporting Schools has partnered with the Australian Flying Disc Association to deliver Ultimate Frisbee in schools across Australia.
Give your students a sport they can discover together.
Ultimate is a fast, fun, non-contact team sport with one big difference: there are no referees.
Players are responsible for knowing the rules, making their own calls and resolving disagreements respectfully through Spirit of the Game. https://www.afda.com/what-is-sotg, opens in a new tab
That makes Ultimate more than another physical activity. While students learn to throw, catch, move and work as a team, they are also developing communication, cooperation, decision-making, leadership and conflict-resolution skills. And for many classes, there’s another advantage.
Most students are learning to throw and catch a flying disc from scratch.
Rather than returning to a sport where some students may already have years of experience, Ultimate can give the class a more level starting point. Students learn together, make mistakes together and discover new skills together - giving different students the opportunity to find confidence and success.
Why introduce Ultimate at your school?
A fresh start | A less familiar sport can give more students the opportunity to participate, learn and succeed together. |
More than physical skills | Spirit of the Game builds communication, respect, cooperation, reasoning and conflict resolution. |
Fast, fun and non-contact | Ultimate combines elements students may recognise from netball, soccer, gridiron and touch footy, but with a flying disc. |
Made for schools | Curriculum-mapped programs, structured lesson plans, modified games and support for teachers and coaches. |
The manuals themselves describe Ultimate as combining elements of netball, soccer, gridiron and touch footy, which gives teachers an easy reference point when introducing it.
