  I came into contact with Frisbee sports in early May. At first, I took children to play. Later, I found out that our friends started to play some Frisbee in the football field. It happened that my friend was also playing Frisbee, so we came together to get in touch.

This exercise is actually quite good. First of all, it has no physical contact and is relatively safe.

When it comes to the second exercise, it is actually relaxed and relaxed. You can exercise according to your own situation without too much burden, and when you are together, everyone has a very happy atmosphere, so it is good.

  [Explanation] It is understood that the Frisbee was invented in the United States in 1948, popular in Europe and the United States in the 1970s, and has been introduced to China since the 1980s.

Among them, the most popular items are ultimate frisbee, frisbee golf and other items.

  Frisbee is a 7-a-side game, 7-on-7 Frisbee.

Then its rules are very simple. In fact, its scoring method is combined with rugby, but it is different from rugby. When he (player) is holding the Frisbee, he cannot move. A Frisbee is obtained in a scoring area, and then we call it a touchdown, and then a score is scored, in such a game format.

The game is very simple, take the plate to pass the plate, then find a teammate, and then pass and receive.

  [Explanation] Due to the low entry threshold for Frisbee sports, the low demand for venues and equipment, and its own social attributes, after camping and cycling, Frisbee has gradually become a "new favorite" in the public sports circle.

Chen Hongzhi, manager of Decathlon Tianfu shopping mall department, introduced that as a comprehensive sporting goods store, their store has always had Frisbee for sale.

But it wasn't until March 2022 that sales of Frisbees began to "surge".

  In fact, when our Tianfu store first opened (in business), there were always Frisbees on sale. It’s just that the adult Frisbee has only started to rise recently (the popularity has risen). From the perspective of sales data, compared with the first half of this year In the same period last year, sales of Frisbee sports increased by 150%.

From March (2022), when temperatures started to rise, there was a big jump in Frisbee sales.

  [Explanation] As the current captain of the Chengdu Frisbee Brigade established in 2010, Liu Bo was a badminton student in a sports academy.

In his opinion, frisbee sports are not only more interesting, but also ensure the overall amount of exercise.

Seeing the development prospects of Frisbee, Liu Bo chose to play Frisbee as a professional player after graduation and participated in many competitions.

But in the more than 4 years since joining the team, Liu Bo is the first time he sees the "hot" Frisbee.

  Going forward at the beginning of last year (2021), sometimes when there are many people, there may be 30 people (training), which is more than a lot. When there are few people, there may be only a few people, five or six people, but we will insist on training.

But at the beginning of last year, I gradually found that one venue was not enough, so it had to be divided into two venues for training.

At the beginning of this year (2022), we made an open selection for the society. At that time, more than 100 people signed up. Now our team members have been selected, from the original 10 to 20 people. There are 68 people, but it has not been fully counted.

  [Explanation] Seeing that Frisbee is "out of the circle", Ren Yao, the founding captain of the Chengdu Frisbee Brigade, said bluntly that the future of Frisbee becoming a mainstream sport may not be far away.

As a professional player who has insisted on frisbee sports for more than ten years, he hopes that the popularity of frisbee will continue, attract more "seed players" and supply talents to professional teams.

  As the earliest group of people who played Frisbee in Chengdu, we actually have relatively high hopes for the (development) of Frisbee.

Because in contact with national competitions, and in the national and local competitions for so many years, we know that the competition of this sport in the country is actually relatively large.

So we actually want to give it to the city of Chengdu in the end. We have a relatively strong Frisbee team. In the future, we can represent Chengdu to go to all parts of the country, and even to participate in competitions around the world, so that Chengdu can have a higher level in the Frisbee circle. ranking and a good reputation.
