Frisbee PS

 

I have chosen frisbee as my PS sport for the last three years. It is a sport of passion and spirit and hence my favorite to play. Frisbee inculcates basic values that make a player not just better in the sport but better as a person. For those new to the sport, frisbee is a sport where two teams compete to score the most until time runs out. It is easy to understand the game, but to learn the skills and play properly is comparatively difficult. Nonetheless, Frisbee helps me to maintain my physical well-being and fitness.

LO1-Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth 

I play as a cutter in my team as I have speed, agility, and endurance. My job is to move the game forward by catching the disk in the middle and passing the disk forward. As a frisbee player height is an important aspect of the game and I happen to have a short-height. However, I did not let that come out front and with dedication and hard work was able to overcome this issue by practicing my jumping to compete with other tall players. My strength was helping move my team’s game forward and I was appreciated to do that.

LO2- Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process.

I participated in a tournament and as frisbee is a sport where all age groups play together our team saw no chance. Nonetheless, we tried our best and we also were given a mentor who taught us to never give up. Moreover, I learned new skills of a handler, as my teams’ handler got injured.

LO4- Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences

I play frisbee three times a week for ( 1 to 1.5  hours) that includes drills and playing matches. This schedule has been followed by me from the past four months and I plan to continue the same accordingly.

LO5- Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively

Since Ultimate Frisbee is a team sport, It is essential to develop Team building skills as we have to work together. One of the Important skills and learner profile I developed and reflected through this was Communication. In any activity where there is a team and collaboration or team effort is needed, Communication is the driving force to it. One of the reasons for the success of our team was effective communications in form of feedback within teammates.

Through this CAS Activity not only did I get better at playing the sport I admire but also developed many skills which are required in living a successful life. I also developed my Character through this process and learned many things about myself and what my capabilities are.
