The CLSA students took part in the 'Introduction to Disc Sports' course in January,  then brushed up their skills in an enhancement session in February before taking their assessments on 7th March. The program was run by Chris and Ben, and both were mightily impressed at how quickly the students picked up the skills.

The assessment involved the students teaching a class of year 9 girls basic skills in throwing, catching, footwork, passing and receiving, with demonstrations and one to one tuition. The session also included instructional demos on how to curve and air-bounce the disc, plus a quick game of Ultimate.

Every student 'stepped out of their comfort zone' and proved to Chris and Ben, as well as to themselves, that they can perform the skills to a good level and have the ability to teach the skills to others.

The students will soon be visiting local schools to deliver Frisbee® sessions, with their 'Disc Sports Pocket Handbooks' at the ready.
