The+Deer+Park+Ultimate+Frisbee+Team

At Deer Park we are really lucky to have an ultimate team. When I came to Deer Park I had absolutely no idea what ultimate frisbee even was. I didn’t even have the confidence to go to the park and through a frisbee with my friends, every time I threw it, it would go all over the place. All the grade eights raved about the ultimate team and told me it was so much fun. So my friends and I decided to try out. There are separate tryouts for grade sevens and grade eights. When we showed up at the tryout we expected everybody to be a lot better than us. But when we got there, there were a few people who knew what they were doing but most people were just like us and didn’t know a thing. That made it a lot easier because almost everybody was on the same page and almost everybody had to start from square one. The coaches were amazing about helping us and began teaching us the most basic techniques. Even by the third tryout, I felt better about my abilities. I was amazed at how fast I learned, even though I wasn’t amazing at it, I already had the basics down. I ended up making the team and by the end of the season I felt I had improved a lot. Most sports I’ve been playing for at least four years in grade school, so this was a completely new sport. It was a really good feeling when at the end of the season, I felt I had learnt and tackled something completely new. So don’t be intimidated by the fact that ultimate is a new sport to you, and TRY OUT!
