61. Aerodynamics In Sports Equipment, Recreation And Machines - Frisbee - Advanced Why are we so fascinated (interested) with this plastic flying disc? What makes a frisbee fly? Just like a bird s wing or the wing of an airplane, http://wings.avkids.com/Book/Sports/advanced/frisbee-01.html

Frisbee page 1 Introduction If you have ever been to the park or the beach, you've probably have seen one of these plastic discs flying through the air. We're not talking about a UFO, we're talking about the Frisbee, more commonly known as the flying disc. The Frisbee has been around for a long time and has become as common to us as the baseball or the football. The Frisbee has even developed sports of its own. Some Frisbee games, like Frisbee Golf (Folf) and Frisbee Baseball imitate (copy) existing sports. Other games, such as Ultimate Frisbee and Guts were inspired by the Frisbee itself. Frisbee catching has even become a popular sport for dogs! Why are we so fascinated (interested) with this plastic flying disc? Perhaps we are amazed by the fact that such a simple object can glide effortlessly through the air. Maybe we are soothed by its graceful flight patterns, or maybe Frisbees are just fun to throw. Let's take a closer look at the flying toy that has become so popular in today's society. History Frisbees, over the years, have remained the same size and shape. The original Frisbees were actually pie tins, back in the late 1800's. College students, in those days, would toss the pie tins back and forth to each other. Then, it was common for the pie companies to have their name on each of their pie tins. One pie company, the Frisbie Pie Company, owned by William Frisbie, produced a pie tin which was popular with Yale students. The Yale students started calling these flying pie tins by the name that was on them. Since then, the name Frisbie (now Frisbee) became the popular term for one of today's most well known flying toy.

Throwing the saucer between friends was a casual way to relax. However things changed drastically when the Frisbee left the domain of the park and became ULTIMATE! In the world of ultimate Frisbee, competition is the heart of the game. It is not for the weak of heart or those lacking stamina and it is definitely not your grandmother's Frisbee. Competing in ultimate Frisbee has become one of the leading activities among Youngstown State University students when they sign up for intramural sports and there are many reasons why the untraditional sport has caught on with so many people. "I personally think it's the best intramural sport. It requires the most skill and it's also the most physical," Justin Mercer, a member of the Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity team, said Tuesday night before his game at Stambaugh Stadium.

Walleyball Ultimate Frisbee General Overview Ultimate Frisbee is a fast-moving, competitive, non-contact sport played by two seven-person teams. The sport has a great amount of freedom and informality implicit in the rules. Primary among these is the spirit of sportsmanship, which enables the honor system to be effective. The object of Ultimate Frisbee is to gain points by scoring goals. The disc may only be advanced by passing, and a goal is scored when a player successfully passes the disc to a teammate in the end zone, which that team is attacking. The team with the most points at the end of the game is declared the winner. Players Each team shall have seven players on the field; minimum 3 of each gender at all times to avoid defaulting. Roster substitutes are allowed, but must have their valid student card with them at the game. Their card must be shown to the opposition captain before the beginning of the game, and their name and student number shall be written onto the game sheet. Equipment Any flying disc may be used as long as both captain’s agree. Campus Recreation has discs available from the Education Equipment Room(Student Card required).

Disc Freestyle Is... Backgrounder Press Releases Disc Freestyle Backgrounder What is Disc Freestyle? It doesn't matter whether you call it Disc Freestyle, Freestyle Frisbee, or Flying Disc Freestyle - Freestyle is the most entertaining of all disc sports (e.g. Disc Golf and Ultimate Frisbee are 2 others). Starting with simple moves like a behind-the-back catch, freestyle has evolved into a crowd-pleasing event with moves such as air brushes, nail delays, and triple-spinning catches. Two and three person routines are 3-5 minutes in length and are evaluated by judges who base their scores on the difficulty (10), artistic impression (10) and execution (10) of the routine. The team with the highest score wins (30 is a perfect score). Freestyle is also about what happens in a city park between novices. Catching a disc under the leg, or tipping a high throw and then catching it. This is freestyle too. Often you'll find competitive players freestyling just for fun. Improvising with each other, often in large groups - and no judges. This is called jamming, and to most players, it’s the most important part of the sport. More The Freestyle Players Association The FPA is a Vounteer-Run, Non-Profit Organization designated by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. The Freestyle Players Association (FPA), established in 1978, is a non-profit organization dedicated to the growth of freestyle disc play as a lifetime recreation and a competitive sport. In the recreation realm, the FPA provides an Education and Outreach program which facilitates and encourages players to play the sport.

Disc Freestyle FREESTYLE Freestyle Frisbee is what the Flying Aces do in their show. It is basically anything you can do with a Frisbee in tournament competition. Routines are judged on execution and presentation, much like gymnastics or figure skating routines. A Freestyle Tournament is an amazing and entertaining thing to see Some elements featured in competitions are: DISTANCE: With a combination of strength and technique, top players can throw well over 400 feet. MAXIMUM TIME ALOFT (M.T.A): Players throw into the wind and catch the return flight with one hand. Good technique and knowledge of the wind allows times of over 12 seconds. By angling across the wind, players can catch their own throws almost 300 feet away from the throwing site. ACCURACY: Players take 28 shots at a 5' by 5' square target loop from various angles and distances. FREESTYLE: Teams of two or three players perform to music and are scored on difficulty, execution, variety and presentation. DOUBLE DISC COURT (D.D.C.):

Make Frisbees using the Inventor's Ashes JIM ZAMORA / SF Chronicle 13aug02 Edward 'Steady Ed' Headrick told his family shortly before his death that he'd like his remains to be mixed-in with the plastic in special-edition Frisbees. Just before he died, the creator of the game of Frisbee golf said he wanted his ashes to be mixed into new versions of the famous plastic disc and his family hopes these limited-edition Frisbees could be sold to help fund a museum in his honor. Edward "Steady Ed" Headrick made his wishes clear to his family in the weeks before his death at 3:30 a.m. Monday at his home in Santa Cruz , his son Dr. Daniel Headrick said today. "For years, he used to joke about saying he wanted to live on as a Frisbee, " Daniel Headrick said of his father. "We always thought he was joking. But he made it clear he was serious. He wanted us to use his ashes in making some Frisbees. He even said he hopes we throw them around in his honor." The details of the tribute Frisbees and plans for a museum are still being worked out.

Home For the proper grip (see Photos 1-3 above), make a fist with your palm up, open your thumb to the hitchhiking position. Loosen your fingers just enough to slip the disc between your palm and finger tips and place your thumb down on the top-side grip strip of your Hyperflite disc just as you might hold a dinner plate if you were holding it upside down. Now use your other hand to lightly grip the far side of the disc. This will allow you to properly position your throwing hand on disc. For the basic backhand throw, refer to Photos 1-3 (below). Avoid placing your index finger along the outside edge of the disc, as this type of grip will not enable you to make accurate throws over longer distances. Use a firm (but not tight) grip to hold the flying disc. Your fingers should fall readily to the "grip strips" on the top and underside of your Hyperflite disc. After you develop a comfortable grip, practice it repeatedly until it becomes second nature. As in golf and tennis, a proper grip is key to success. Backhand Throw There are many ways to throw a flying disc but the most common is the backhand throw. The backhand throw is a versatile and an easy-to-learn delivery. It is good for accuracy and distance.

For the past decade, there has been an increase in rural populations in the United States that has changed the character of these areas. Comprised of small, amenity-based communities with a higher quality of life than its metropolitan counterparts, these locations are popular to tourists seeking both natural and cultural resources. Park and recreation specialists are charged with the task of providing quality recreational opportunities to attract visitors, while protecting these valuable resources. They aim to preserve and promote the unique local community character, but they need to do this with limited economical resources. How can recreational specialists continue to provide quality recreational experiences? One solution is seen in another growing recreational trend in rural America: disc golf.

The players are in continuous motion, running, stretching and leaping to retrieve the flying disc. The disc is caught. The player who catches the disc comes to a stop and throws it before another player hovering around him counts to 10. At the same time, the offensive players are in motion, trying to out-maneuver the defense. The defense attempts to intercept the disc, which is being thrown back and forth. Ultimate Frisbee is a sport that combines the passing and scoring of football, the cutting of basketball, and the running and field sense of soccer.

77. Canine Frisbee Training and are sponsored by different canine frisbee clubs and county parks and recreation. Just about any canine can be taught to catch a flying disc. http://www.totalcaninetraining.com/Pages/atrticles/caninefrisbee1.html

To catch a flying disc....with your teeth!! Why play frisbee with another person, when the most willing companion is chewing on your favorite pair of sneakers? Most pet dogs love chasing frisbee once their owners learn basic frisbee training methods. Before you pick up the first frisbee and toss it, it is important for Fido to develop some pre-frisbee skills. The ability to 'retrieve' and 'catch' a ball will help your canine learn frisbee quickly. Use a long lead(30') to help with the 'retrieve' and start with food treats for the 'catch-it' command, eventually replacing treats with a new ball. The best way to get Fido chasing the frisbee is to make it similar acting to a ball by rolling the frisbee on its side. This is called a 'roller' toss. To accomplish this, roll your arm around the frisbee and release it like a yo-yo close to the ground. Use multiple frisbees if possible, rewarding your dog with an immediate toss when he drops the frisbee being retrieved. After Fido retrieves a few rollers, it is time move on to the 'take-it' command. We accomplish this command by holding the frisbee above our canine's head and encourage him to jump and 'take it' with his mouth. Remember to use 'super praise' when Fido jumps in the air and takes the frisbee from your hand. Next, start leading your canine with the frisbee and teach him to 'take it' on the run. Once your pet dog can 'take it' on the run he is ready for his first catch! Lead Fido with the disc and before he can take it from your hand, flip the frisbee in front of your dog. Fido should instinctively 'catch it' right out of the air! Use the verbal command at the same time the catch is made. Immediately try it again, repetition is the key to improve catching skills. Remember to put plenty of spin on the frisbee so it will hang in the air and be easier to catch.
