University to host the ultimate frisbee championships

25 May 2001

The University of Wollongong will host the 2001 ultimate frisbee championships on Saturday 26 May and Sunday 27 May.
Twelve teams from the Eastern University Division will compete in this new team sport.
It is played on a rectangular field much like American football with two scoring or end zones.
Corey Bocking from UOW's Recreation and Aquatic Centre said the game could be described as a "cross between American football and netball with a frisbee or disk instead of a ball".
The aim of the game is to catch the frisbee/disk in the opponent's end zone to score a point.

Where: All games will be played on the UOW campus sports ovals.
When: The competition will begin at 9am on 26 May and end at about 2pm on 27 May.
