Liam Craig dashed after a white frisbee as it darted through the air. He leaped and caught the disc while simultaneously crossing the goal line into the end zone. On the evening of April 23, 2017, the Northfield Church Frisbee Group joined together on the Spring Creek Soccer Complex for a spirited first outdoor game of the year. Soggy soccer fields and bare feet promised to make an entertaining and slippery combination. “Nice catch Liam,” said Peter, an athletic high school student as he jogged up to the end zone. He congratulated Liam with the glorious high-five of victory as he stood tall, proud of his team's accomplishment. “Bring it in, bring it in, it's time to stir the pot.” Liam said. Most of the team members huddled up and prepared …show more content…
He seemed to enjoy the ridiculousness of dance; however, he also looked a little traumatized. “I have no idea. I just made that up.” Liam shouted back, a smile spread across his face. “Nice catch Broseph.” James said as he gave Liam a bump on the shoulder. James, Peter's younger brother always had a smile on his face and a jovial disposition. After a few minutes of rest, both teams prepared for the next point as they lined up for the serving throw. Just before the serve, the wind picked up, sending a refreshing breeze floating across the field. With gracefulness and brute strength, one of the players hurled the disk through the air, and the point began. While the opposing team received the throw, Liam's team rushed towards their temporary rivals and started their effort to once again regain control of the frisbee. Thanks to the wind, the frisbee floated in the air a little longer, allowing for more time to set a defensive position. Later in the point, after many turnovers, the opposing team made some solid connections up the field; eventually scoring a point. Desperation crept into the minds of the players on both teams as the score came closer and closer in their game to seven
Rashim told Colin and Andrew that they needed to help him stand out this game. Colin said, “Rashim, we want you to go to the NBA as much you want to. We got you and we're gonna make you the MVP of this game.” Rashim knew that his friends would always be by his side to help him. The timeout was over and it was almost half-time. LaSalle was down by 8 and knew they needed to come back to stay in this game. Wissahickon missed a shot, and Andrew got the rebound and passed it to Rashim and he made a three pointer! With 4 seconds Colin got a steal and threw a bullet pass to Rashim, and he got the shot off with one second left, and he made it! The crowd was filled with excitement and cheering for Rashim. “I couldn't have gotten those points without your guys’ help,” he shouted excitedly. But the game wasn't over, and LaSalle was still
It began to drain our energy and flood our minds with frustration from the referee’s terrible decisions. The frustration mentally affected our positivity and dampened our performance. I could hear groans and moans from members in our team sounding like dying screams of wounded war heroes. My muscles were in agonising pain from fighting for possession and constant sprinting, putting my body on the line. I needed to surrender but couldn’t give up. I needed to continue the second half and inspire the team by helping us to gain victory. After a few strong words from the leader, we started the second half of the battle on top form. Using our young beginners to tire out the opposition, we had the advantage of more troops. It was finally our time to make the final play of the battle count, to overrule Albany and claim the
So the objective of this game was to outscore the opponents by shooting the ball through the opponents basket from above, but you have to stop the opponents from doing the same thing that your doing. A great shot is worth two points or three points if you shoot beyond the three point arc which is 6.75 meters 22 ft 2 in from the basket in international games and 23 feet 9 inches 7.24 m in NBA games. A one-point shot can be earned when shooting from the foul line after a foul is made. When you get foul you have to go to the free throw line and shoot from there,
He thought it was very unique and he was simply surprised that he did not know about the impact such a simple movement can do to a dance which is stomping. This documentary

The sport of Pickleball was founded in 1965 in Bainbridge Island, a ferry ride from. When Congressman Joel Pritchard, William Bell, and Barney McCallum arrived home after a day of golf, they found their children restless, and tired of the “old” summer activities. They set out to create a game that would entertain them throughout the summer. Their ideas to create the game came from the hopes of creating a game that would be both challenging, but easy to set up and play. When the game first began, materials included ping-pong paddles, and a wiffle ball. Then, they lowered the net on their badminton court. As the game became more popular, people began to make their own paddles using wood jigsaws, and marine plywood. Today, over 100,000 people play Pickleball in the United States. According to Barney McCallum, the game was named, “Pickleball” after the Pichards’s dog Pickles who would often case and run after the ball when played.
Outdoor entertainment was a favorite pastime of many families, and Wham-O provided many with hours of fun. In 1957, Wham-O released the first Frisbee toy. The inventor, Walter Morrison got the idea for the toy in the late 1940’s and developed a plastic version that would fly easily. He “originally named it the ‘“Pluto Platter”’ hoping to cash in on the alleged flying saucer sightings at the time” (Epstein 34). The toy company Wham-O bought it and changed it’s name to Frisbee, which came from a story about how college kids would fly pie pans around from a Pie company named Frisbee Pie Company. The Frisbee became popular and is still around today, albeit modifications have been made (Epstein 34).
The ball is moving rather wildly when out of nowhere, it seems, Autumn Finney leaps into the fray and puts the ball back over the net. Her team ended up
Ultimate Frisbee is a sport that is played by many people. In fact, it is a professional sport. It is a fairly simple sport, and does not require too much equipment. All it requires is two teams and a Frisbee disc. There are also optional accessories, such as gloves with grip, shoes that are light and allow fast running, and warm clothes.
Just this year, I was voted the Vice President of my high school Robotics team. Although it’s by far one of my proudest achievements, at first, I didn’t understand why I was given such an honor. I’ve been in my high school Robotics club since freshman year, I’ve attended every single meeting, fundraiser, and event, and I’m an avid lover of programming and robotics. Yet, with all of this, I didn’t think I would be an official for my Robotics club. This was mainly due to the fact that I possess all of the qualities that I thought a leader shouldn’t have. I’m kind of a shy guy, I’m not very confident in myself, and I’m usually pretty quiet. Most people believe that great leaders are supposed to be self-assured, outgoing, and expressive. I’m none
The second game was closer than the first. Youngstown State stepped it up a little and made Green Bay work much harder. At one time in the game, Green Bay was behind by two points. The coach took a time-out. When the girls came back on the court the Phoenix girls kept a positive attitude and never gave up. They worked hard and together and regained the lead. The Phoenix got ahead by a few points and the visitors took a time-out. Again the college students cheered taunting cheers. This time one of the guys wearing a green shirt that had the word GO! written largely on the back of his T-shirt ran around the gym, while the group of college students yelled GO repeatedly.

People had been tossing Frisbees around for years, but had yet to create a sport using the Frisbee disk. At Columbia High School in New Jersey, students from the school newspaper created a new sport, combining different aspects of soccer, football, basketball, team handball, and hockey, they called it Ultimate Frisbee. These students decided to write an official set of rules for Ultimate Frisbee. At first, it was only played by a few students at Columbia. The sport soon caught on at other colleges and high schools in the area. From then on, Ultimate spread rapidly throughout the United States, and was at first played only in schools. Since then many non-scholastic leagues have formed and many countries have started national teams. Not much has changed since the rules were first published, and since then, Ultimate has spread all over the world.
Down two with six seconds to go fatigue had taken it tolls on the players. With little energy left; over time was not an option. I knew I had to go for the win. I walk on the floor confident of my ability that was until the whistle blew quickly turning my confident to butterflies. As I fought to get open I quickly saw the ball coming my way. As I rose for a jump shot time itself began to stay still. An in flesh everything became silent. As I watch the ball leave my hand I envisioned greatness; sure the ball was on its way in I started to celebrate that was until I hear the announcer say my teammate tip in miss shot to win us the game. Mix with emotion I celebrate with my teammate. “Ok guys, we have 24 hours until tip off. Get some rest because this is going to be the biggest game of your life. Let’s bring this championship back to Barton College. Go Bulldogs and Goodnight!” Why few players stay in the lobby to hang out I took it talk upon to work on my game and reflect on the semifinal game that just took place. At basketball games you will notice how there are all sorts of fans attending the game.
Early descriptions of beach volleyball indicate that it started on the “beaches of everywhere”, but with southern California and Hawaii being the first places to have permanent beach volleyball nets established. At first and for a long time, beach volleyball was played just as standard volleyball was at the time. Nudist/Naturalist clubs were early adopters of outdoor volleyball and adapted to the smaller team rules when they
