Frisbee

Today the red group met in the field house and worked on our frisbee skills. I was quite a bit rustier than I thought I would be, but after just having time to throw back and forth with a partner, muscle memory returned and my throws were relatively accurate (except for the one that beaned my professor in the head(Sorry, Leanne!). After our hour-long lunch break, we played a few games of Ultimate Frisbee and then headed outside for some Frisbee Golf. THAT was hilarious. The wind was blowing fairly hard (like it usually does), so unless you were heading towards an eastward target, you took at least 4 throws to get there, and that was without the frisbee falling into the baseball field and the roped off area (...not that that happened to OUR group...).

Again, another skill I need to work on. Actually, my catching is pretty secure, and my throwing isn't terrible (although both my forehand and backhand throws need work), but it's the throwing-to-a-running-partner-without-them-changing-speed challenge that will need the most practice. I wonder how that will be graded? I suppose as long as the person you're throwing to doesn't lunge forward after the frisbee it should be okay, or at least you would think.

Our intense game of Ultimate Frisbee.
