“When a ball dreams, it dreams it’s a frisbee.”
Ultimate Australia introduces students to the fun, inclusive and growing sport of ultimate frisbee through two introductory programs:
- Ulti-Mates for primary students, and
- Fly for secondary students
Through a unique self-refereed and game-based approach to team sport, Ulti-Mates and Fly develop and improve communication, fair play and social-emotional learning.
Both Ulti-Mates and Fly programs are aligned to the Australian Curriculum and Physical Literacy Framework.
Ulti-Mates
Primary school program
Ultimate Australia’s Ulti-Mates program develops the skills and confidence for children to get involved in Ultimate Frisbee.
Ulti-Mates consists of many fun activities, games and lessons that cater to two key age groups:
- Foundation to Year 2
- Year 3 to Year 6
Through modified games, Ulti-Mates introduces students to movement skills including throwing and catching a frisbee. Students will also develop a strong foundation in teamwork and fair play skills through an introduction to Ultimate Frisbee’s unique ‘Spirit of the Game’ concept.
Fly
Secondary school program
Ultimate Australia’s Fly program uses a game-based approach to introduce Year 7 and 8 students to the fun and emerging team sport of Ultimate Frisbee. Learning to throw and catch a frisbee captivates students from the start of the Fly program.
Students will enjoy developing their leadership and conflict resolution skills as they implement self-refereeing and spirit of the game into their game play. Regardless of current physical abilities, using a frisbee instead of a ball can level the playing field among your class, providing an opportunity for different students to excel as everyone develops new skills.
