KISHRONIYAH 2019 ULTIMATE FRISBEE CLINIC Adat Ha-Borgrim/Adat Ha-Magshimim

The Wall Street Journal says “ultimate frisbee combines speed, grace and powerful hurling with a grueling pace.” It’s an intense sport and the energy was palpable as I stepped on the field and observed the chanichim (campers) in action. Discussing the lingo of the sport with the chanichim I soon realized that Ultimate Frisbee comes with its own language. Want to learn more about these fast pace sports terms?

More about the program- Hone your skills with our Ultimate Frisbee clinic! Ultimate Frisbee was started at Columbia High School in New Jersey in 1968 and is now played in countless schools, colleges and clubs around the country and the world. Even at the highest levels of the game, Ultimate is played without referees, instead of relying on the honor of each player to abide by the rules (a concept known as The Spirit of the Game). Because of the free-flowing nature of the sport, Ultimate encourages all players to be involved in the action. Each player has the opportunity to be a thrower, receiver and defender in every game. During the sessions at Camp Ramah, players will be instructed in the rules, skills, and strategies of the game. Each day will include scrimmages where the campers get a chance to practice what they have learned. For more information about the sport of Ultimate, go to the website of USAUltimate at www.usaultimate.org.
