Ultimate Frisbee is one of the most representative sports in Nanmo. As a new sport for most people, Frisbee has aroused the interest of many students. Students who have just entered Nanmo often want to participate in this sport, so Nanmo also provides different platforms for students with different Frisbee levels. The Ultimate Frisbee Club is where many Nanmo freshmen play Frisbee for the first time. From the club activities, students can preliminarily understand the rules of Frisbee and the skills of throwing Frisbee. According to the new Frisbee player Raina Fang, “Frisbee is a brand new sport to me. I’ve never played such an interesting sport before coming to Nanmo! ”.
If you want to play more professionally in this sport, the school will select the players of the Frisbee team every year. The students who enter the school team can participate in the training twice a week, so as to improve their Frisbee skill faster. Students who enter the school team can participate in the official Frisbee competition on behalf of the school, and contact other international high school students playing Frisbee in Shanghai and even the whole country. Students who have not been selected into the school team do not need to be disappointed. Our school also has the school Frisbee League, which can also allow students to experience the charm of Frisbee.
Ultimate Frisbee has its own unique culture. The most unique is Frisbee spirit and spirit score. What is a spirit score? Spirit score is a score given by the players of both teams after the game according to whether they have physical contact in the game, whether they are proficient in the rules and whether they have good communication. Spirit score is as important as game score. It represents respect for the opponent and the game.
For me, Ultimate Frisbee is more like where I belong. Before entering Nanmo, I hardly took part in any sports. In my junior high school, the popular sport was always basketball. Fierce confrontation is very unfriendly to a thin boy like me. But Ultimate Frisbee is a sport without any physical contact. All you need is your solid throwing skills, speed, and determination to try your best to catch the disc. “As long as the disc hasn’t fallen to the ground, you should never stop running” (Chen, 2019). This is what Brady Chen, our former Frisbee captain, often told us. I found my value in Ultimate Frisbee. I learned how to use my speed to beat my opponent. I also understand that only with the tacit cooperation of my teammates can I win the game. Through Ultimate Frisbee, I made many interesting friends and enriched my spare time, which made me become a well-rounded student. Join the Nanmo Frisbee team, you will be attracted by the strong team spirit. You will experience not only the fun of Frisbee, but also the positive attitude of everyone working together.
