Early this week signs for a Ultimate Frisbee Club have begun to appear across the Olympia High School Campus drawing the interest from the student body.
Ultimate Frisbee is a sport that has not been offered to Olympia Students in the past. This year it will be offered as a club with the possibility of playing in the State Championships in June.
While Ultimate Frisbee is new to the school the students of Olympia have been playing Ultimate Frisbee for years.
Senior Nick Barclay said, “ I have been playing Ultimate for years. My youth group at church plays it all the time.”
Ultimate Frisbee is played with two teams both trying to score touchdowns. The game is played with one Frisbee and is thrown from teammate to teammate in an attempt to score. Once a player catches a Frisbee they can not move only pivot on a foot till they release the Frisbee.
The Olympia Frisbee club will be run by new guidance counselor Mr. Castillo who is a former Ultimate Frisbee player himself. Mr. Castillo played for Eastern Illinois Reapers and is also the president of the board.
Mr. Castillo said, “ I think the club will draw a lot of interest. Ultimate Frisbee is one of those sports that everyone can play at the same time I think that will draw a lot of people towards it.”
Ultimate Frisbee is a fun sport that all can play. With the season starting in the spring there is still plenty of time for students to sign up to play.
