More than 1,000 "fans", the Frisbee Club is hard to get a ticket
The "frisbee" movement has gradually become a new social favorite for young people in Weifang
As soon as the Frisbee landed, Team Purple immediately switched from defense to attack. Team Purple No. 9 quickly rushed to the disc to pick it up. At the same time, No. 8 ran through the crowd to a favorable position in the scoring zone. A steady catch, the purple team scored another point.
On August 12, the first Frisbee League organized by Weifang KITES Liyuan Frisbee Club came to an end at the Yuandu Stadium. The Purple Team won the championship with the first overall score.
Recently, the frisbee sport has gradually entered the field of vision of Weifang citizens.
Dispute self-determined competition
There are four participating teams in this Frisbee League. The competition will start on August 5th. It adopts a double round-robin system of points. Each team has the opportunity to compete with other teams.
In each game, each team will send 7 players, with a ratio of 5 men and 2 women, with men and women on the same field.
It is understood that the frisbee field is generally rectangular, and the scoring area is placed on both sides of the field. At the beginning of each game, players from both sides line up in the scoring area of their respective half of the court. In the end, the Frisbee is passed to the opponent in the scoring area, which is a successful score. Once the pass is wrong, the two teams will immediately switch between offense and defense.
The frisbee can be passed to a friend in any direction or track, but cannot be run with the frisbee in hand. The athlete holding the frisbee must pass the frisbee to other teammates within 10 seconds.
The reporter learned that no physical contact or collision is a major feature of Frisbee, which allows both male and female athletes to compete on the same field.
At the same time, compared with other sports, Ultimate Frisbee also has a special rule, that is, there is no referee, and all disputes are decided by the athletes themselves.
There are only match observers on the playing field, English abbreviation GA, GA does not perform the function of judging the game in the Frisbee game, but helps the participants to better promote the game.
Most of the old players are post-90s and post-00s
The reporter found that most of the people who played Frisbee were the post-90s and post-00s, and most of them wanted to try it out of curiosity at first. Zhao Yaoer, a member of the team, said, "I will continue to play. The atmosphere is very good, and it makes people feel healed and relaxed. It really makes me feel that friendship comes first and competition comes second."
At the same time, because Frisbee sports low threshold and easy to use, more and more people make it a hobby.
"I am a person with no athletic talent, and I am not very good at running, jumping, and various sports skills, but after playing Frisbee, I found that even if you are the weakest member of the team, you can practice passing and receiving. Plays a big role in the team," Green team member "Butterfly" told reporters.
It is understood that "Butterfly" is 19 years old this year, but Pan has been in contact for three years. He has been in contact since high school and is currently an assistant teacher of the Weifang KITES Liyuan Frisbee Club.
"It's a coincidence that I came into contact with Frisbee. I used to play football before, but after being brought by a friend to play once, I found it very interesting, and I wanted to find a daily exercise activity. Frisbee can not only have physical exercise, but also It can train the sense of teamwork, so there will be one game every week." said Zhang Jian, the coach of Weifang KITES Liyuan Frisbee Club.
"I have played more than a dozen games, and I have never been absent from other games except once." Xiao Zhu, the captain of the white team, told reporters, "At first it was for relaxation, but later it really became a hobby."
More than 1,000 people in one club
"For this competition, our partners often hold meetings until the early hours of the morning," said Wen Jun, director of Weifang KITES Liyuan Frisbee Club, "because we all have our own jobs, like the captain of the fan team in this competition who usually runs a burger shop. The captain of the purple team, Zhang Jian, is a hairdresser, and they are also the coaches of our club." "The main business is selling wine, and the side business is Frisbee" is the description of Wenjun, the director of Weifang KITES Liyuan Frisbee Club, about his profession.
"In the beginning, I played with relatives and friends. Later, after Frisbee emerged all over the country, I found that there was no related club in Weifang, so we set up a small club with our friends to play by ourselves, and later, more professional people joined, it was slow. Slowly develop into a club, and also start professional teaching." Wen Jun told reporters.
Weifang KITES Liyuan Frisbee Club is the first professional Frisbee club in Weifang, focusing on ultimate Frisbee. All coaches participating in the teaching hold coaching certificates. Each novice field is equipped with coaches, captains, and teaching assistants, and the quota is limited to ensure that each participant participates. All players have the guidance of professional coaches. "We must be responsible for the friends who come to play when we open to the outside world. If the passing and receiving movements are not standardized, it will be difficult to change once it is formed." Wen Jun said.
Weifang KITES Liyuan Frisbee Club has only been established for four months, but it has developed rapidly. Currently, there are four communities, attracting more than 1,000 people.
Frisbee Social Attracts More Players
The reporter found that every ticket purchase in the club group will be sold out as soon as it is issued, and there will be almost no dissatisfaction with the quota.
"We now hold a weekly novice field and an advanced field, but it is far from meeting everyone's needs. There are still many people who want to play who can't get tickets. We are also actively looking for venues and increasing the number of games." Wen Jun said .
"We mainly do publicity on Xiaohongshu. In fact, I think the most worthy of knowing is the spirit of Frisbee." Wen Jun told reporters.
The reporter found that before each Frisbee activity, a coach will introduce the Frisbee spirit. The World Frisbee Association summarizes the Frisbee spirit as: familiarity with the rules, avoidance of fouls and physical contact, fair competition, positive attitude, and adequate communication.
"We haven't had any quarrels and collisions since the beginning. The atmosphere of each event is very good, and everyone dares to fight." Wen Jun said.
At the same time, after each event, there will be a "circle". Everyone sits on the ground and forms a circle to talk about their feelings on the field and talk about their own life.
"There are many small partners who come to participate in order to relieve stress, and Frisbee exercise is not only physical decompression, but also has social attributes. Everyone can tell their own stories and meet different people." Wen Jun said.
Here, there are dessert chefs, sales, high school students, college students, people of different identities, occupations, and ages, because Frisbee gathers together.
It is understood that the Weifang KITES Liyuan Frisbee Club has successively added activities such as competition training, Frisbee salon, etc. It is believed that in the near future, Frisbee sports will be known and understood by more and more people.
"Please organize more activities to give newcomers a chance to learn." In the club's WeChat group, such news kept popping up.
