evening and frisbee






Yesterday, after sitting in front of PC and working from 8 am to 6 pm, I felt tired and I felt like
I was sick of paperworks.
And then, I took a walk by lake side. While I was walking, my (former) students were playing
Frisbee.
After walking for 30 minutes, I watched the game.
The kids ( I am not sure they are kids anymore or not, they are now Second Year students) really enjoyed the game.

Flying discs (commonly called Frisbees) are disc-shaped objects, which are generally plastic and roughly 20 to 25 centimeters (8–10 inches) in daimeter, with a lip. The shape of the disc, an airfoil in cross-section, allows it to fly by generating lift as it moves through the air while rotating. The name Frisbee is a registered trademark of the WhamO toy company, but is often used generically to describe all flying discs.

1. Identify the goal of throwing around the disc. The goal of the game is to get the disc from one end of the field to the other and into the "end zone". Each team wants to get the disc into its respective goal end. The disc must be thrown, and the person with the disc cannot move.


2.Divide into teams. There are two teams of 7 players on a rectangular field.


3. Set up the team layout. Each team starts in the other team's end zone or goal.


4. Start play. Team B will throw the disc to Team A across the field. Team A now has possession

of the disc.


5. Continue play. Team A then throws the disc from player to player, down the field towards the goal.


6. Block. Team B will try to force a turnover. This can be done by Team B catching the disc or knocking it to the ground. In any case, if Team A does not catch the disc, Team B gains possession. As this is a non-contact sport, Team B's player must block the disc and not the player.

Guard the thrower. Only one player from the opposite team can guard the thrower.


7.Seek further goals. If Team B succeeds in defending, then the disc is now in Team B's possession and Team B will start throwing the disc towards the goal.


8.Continue the game. Play until someone scores.
