Description
On Wednesday, January 14, 1976, approximately 30 people gathered to toss Frisbees. This was the beginning of the Brock University Frisbee Club.
Two Brock students, Phil Cheevers and Pat Burton organized the first Ontario University Frisbee Tournament for March of 1976. Brock, McMaster, Guelph, York and Waterloo took part in the tournament. Brock University president, Dr. Earp threw the first Frisbee. The Brock University team won the overall title of Frisbee champions for that year. The Frisbee Championships were held again in March of 1977. The overall championship for that year was won by Guelph.
There are different types of Frisbee. These consist of:
Guts – where two 3-5 man teams stand 14 meters apart and power-throw the discs through the other teams.
Ultimate – This is similar to basketball or touch football.
Frisbee golf – This is played like golf, but without the clubs.
Freestyle – is the original game of catch and throw.
Brock currently has an Ultimate Frisbee Club with 46 members [2017]
