Today for choice I went with most of our class outside to play Ultimate. This time we played it more seriously than the time in September, because Caleb Brown is in the Ultimate team and had us playing by the rules. To sum it up, we can't take any step after receiving the frisbee - pivot is allowed - and one has to pass the frisbee inside 10 counts after catching it.
Our team's main attackers were the group of girls - Yulia, Gabby, etc. - Joel, and me. Joel really liked to do crazy long passes that most of the time ended up on the ground, but I prefer to make short and safer passes. The girls always scream when they are trying to pass or catch the frisbee, especially when either team's about score. It definitely made the game even more interesting =).
I think that like any team sports, communication and teamwork is really important in Ultimate. The best strategy is to have teammates spaced out a few metres apart down the field, and just make short passes to each other. It's also really important to get the attention of the people you are passing to, otherwise there's almost no chance anyone can catch the frisbee. Of course, the most important things is still to have fun.
Thanks for writing about us! Good job reflecting on what we did in class but you should post digital evidence to prove what you were saying!
ReplyDeleteWhy am I not in this :(
ReplyDeleteThat day was so funny and though I almost fell down because I was having so much fun
ReplyDeleteUltimate is often tricky to understand but is very fun when people play by the rules, sadly people like to cheat in ultimate which ruins the game but the first 25 minutes are fun before it breaks down.
