Yesterday, Over 16 people came down to Carraknight’s training area for frisbee. After a few weeks of disappointing attendance, finally we got to see the joyful faces of frisbee players throwing some disc. As I cycled from yishun to the training area in sembawang, it was drizzling slightly. I felt rather sad as i was thinking that the attendance would be a disappointing one yet again. However, i still hoped for the rain to stop and for people to come down.
At around 5:15pm, the rain stopped. One by one the frisbee players came. The familiar faces came first. Then came the seniors and some new faces. We were all happy to know that it was going to be the day when we can really play a proper field game.
We started of with some disc passing as warm up before proceeding on to the match play. The field was wet and muddy but it did not stop us from having all the fun we could. Some of us got real dirty falling down. People like Melissa, Frances and Fornia did not want to get dirty initially but ended up sweaty and muddy but still they were happy. For some, it was the same old feeling playing on the field yet again but for some, it was a whole new experience. However, I’m glad that at the end of the day, everyone got involved and had fun.
People who passed by the field in the bus and walking all looked curiously. There was even one uncle who stood at the pavement watching for almost 10minutes while we were playing the match. We are certainly attracting some interest. All we need is for people to get more of their friends or even families to come down and join us. So do not be shy. Come down and Have fun with us.
For those members of the club who have not been even throwing any disc with us before, it’s time you all take sometime of your homeworks for a few hours on a Saturday and come play frisbee with us. We are starting to have a lot of members right now and if at least 50% of the total number of members come down for training, we can have a great time playing some real frisbee together and improve on our personal skills.
The date is set again next Saturday (26th January). Venue can be found at the training information section of the club blog. Time would be change to 4:30pm. Wear boots if you have. If not, shoes will do. Get your friends who are interested to come down and join in the fun. Hope to see more players next week.
Let’s all look forward to yet another fun day of Frisbee and that DISC-licous feeling.!
