Frisbee
A
Frisbee is a must-have item for any holiday house, outdoor entertainment set and school
fitness equipment locker. First introduced to the public as ‘Pluto Platters’ back in the 1950’s, Frisbees were originally dreamed up to satisfy a demand for an affordable toy that would tap into the spaceship/astronaut/outer space frenzy that was going on at the time.
Frisbees have come a long way since then and today there are even international events, such as the World Frisbee Championship, where individuals who have mastered this particular sporting utensil can come together and compete.
Ultimate Frisbee, on the other hand, is a game that was invented by a group of New Jersey high school students in 1968. When they left for different colleges they taught the game to new friends and so began the rapid spread from coast to coast, country to country and continent to continent that has resulted in the game being sworn in as one of the official sports at the World Games.

From humble beginnings the modest Frisbee has risen to worldwide acclaim, featuring in recreational leagues, national tournaments and worldwide championships. But you don’t have to be in a national team to enjoy tossing a Frisbee around! This inconspicuous disc has many advantages over conventional
sporting goods, namely:
- It is immensely affordable.
- It is compact and can be transported easily (as opposed to things like volleyball nets or soccer goals).
- No setup or installation required!
- Games can be enjoyed both indoors and outdoors, depending on the weather and space constraints.
- It can be used in a great variety of games, including Frisbee bowling, Frisbee baseball and Disc-golf.
Furthermore, a game of Frisbee is an excellent way to improve your hand-eye coordination while getting a bit of exercise. It can be enjoyed on the beach, in the backyard, at school during break time and even to blow off steam during lunch at work - simply pop it in your backpack, briefcase or picnic hamper and off you go.
