First Ultimate Frisbee Tournament

Salam and hello guys,

So today, I would like to write a post about my new favorite sport, and it is: Ultimate Frisbee.  :-)

Talking about it, this sport is still new in Malaysia but growing rapidly as the day goes by.

So why not for some introduction isn't it?

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

Points are scored by passing the disc to a teammate in the opposing end zone. Other basic rules are that players must not take steps while holding the disc, and interceptions, incomplete passes, and passes out of bounds are turnovers. Enough with intro, and lets go to the tournament part.

On 23rd April 2016, I took the chanced to enter a frisbee tournament at INTEC, Shah Alam. Even though it's our first time ever, I took it as a medium to exposed all the ALAM's players with the real Frisbee players out there and of course we did practice and train hard for it without any proper coaching and support from Sport Instructor. Thus, our inspiration and coach is the glorious Youtube!

Two teams participated in the tournament and let's begin.

                                                    My team : Hydra
                                                     

                                                    Afiq's team : Scylla

There were 16 teams in total and we did put all our effort in playing the game during the tournament. And here is the picture of it !

                                             Warm up is a must for all sports. :D

                                 Some of the actions by my team including me. :-)



We did have lots of fun and gained new experience regarding the sport. How it is being played competitively, the culture of the sport and many more. Both of our team did not make it and lose in the grouping stage. It's okay, we can try again next time in other tournament.





          To end my post, here are some random pictures of us during the tournament !

                        The backbone of our team! (Including me-Self proclaim) :D

                                       Candid picture with teammates!

Finally, thanks to all for supporting us during this tournament including friends and lecturers. (Capt. Siva, Capt. Monir, and Maam Hanim)

We will be coming back in the future tournament with more determination, strong foundation and polished skills.
