Ultimate frisbee is a non-contact disc sport played by two teams of 7 players. The object of the game is to score goals. A goal is scored when a player catches any legal pass in the end zone of the opposing team. The disc (frisbee) is advanced by throwing or passing it to team mates. The disc may be passed in any direction. Any time a pass is incomplete, intercepted, knocked down, or contacts an out of bounds area, a turnover occurs. A turnover results in an immediate change of team possession of the frisbee (disc). Students will learn the rules, basic throws and strategies of this exciting game while developing levels of physical fi tness. A course fee applies. ( F, S)

Disc golf is played much like traditional golf but uses a fl ying disc of "Frisbee"in place of the ball and clubs. The sport was formalized in the 1970's and shares with "ball golf" the object of completing each hole in the fewest numberof throws. A golf disc is thrown from a tee area to a target which is the "hole". The hole is an elevated metal basket (Pole Hole). Disc golf shares thesame joys and challenges of traditional golf, whether it's sinking a long putt or hitting a tree halfway down the fairway. This class is designed for all ages, male/female participants. Depending on transportation, this course may be offered on campus or at an off-site location. A course fee applies.
