Frisbee comes to town

Several frisbee enthusiasts joined hands in 2012 and formed the first of its kind social club called Ultimate Frisbee Windhoek, which competes at the University of Namibia every Sunday.

The group consist of locals who want to break a sweat during the weekend in a social environment and now consist of close to 120 members, both male and female.

One of the founders of the group Oskar Oskar said the sport is athletic and gives participants the chance to work on their respiratory and circulation system.

“The sport gives agility, increases concentration and offers a chance to network with like-minded people. At the moment we are just a social club but the members are working towards being registered with the Namibia Sport Commission,” he said.

More about the sport:

Ultimate, originally known as Ultimate Frisbee, is a non-contact team sport played by players with a flying disc (frisbee).

Ultimate was developed in 1968 by a group of students at Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey.

Although Ultimate resembles many traditional sports in its athletic requirements, it is unlike most sports due to its focus on self-officiating, even at the highest levels of competition.
