极限飞盘
Ultimate Frisbee
极限！飞盘！
极限飞盘英文名为Ultimate Frisbee，它极具挑战与观赏性，是一项融合了足球、篮球和橄榄球元素的对抗型竞技运动。为了赢得比赛，参与的选手通常要具备优秀的体能、快速的移动、敏锐的判断以及稳定的控盘技巧。而极限飞盘最有意思的地方是：所有球员都是裁判，运动员们可以自己在场上对争端进行裁决。而要实现这种裁决方式的基础是运动员之间必须相互尊重，尊重对手，尊重裁决。而这种尊重，就是“极限飞盘的精神”。
起初，极限飞盘在新加坡只是些外国人的娱乐活动。现在，这个活动在新加坡非常流行，在这玩极限飞盘的人已经形成了超过3000人的社区，他们来自不同的学校，有些学校甚至还将这项运动作为课程或课外活动的一部分，新加坡有许多团体以这项运动为娱乐活动或进行竞技。在国际上，全世界范围内有90个会员联合会，包括在中国、澳大利亚、印度和越南。随着极限飞盘受欢迎程度的提升和国际比赛组织的规范，它得到了奥委会的最高认可，即作为一个强有力的奥运会候选项目。
怎么玩？
带上你的极限飞盘，叫上你的小伙伴们，分成两组（正规比赛是7V7）。再找一个宽广平整的方形场地，用一些物体来标记场地的末端区域，那么游戏就可以开始了！
开始时两支球队在相反的终点区，然后以其中一支球队将圆盘扔向另一支球队开始比赛。进攻队尝试将飞盘传接到对方区得分，而防守方想办法阻止进攻队员接住飞盘。在得分前，攻防转换可以一直进行。一旦得分，攻守易位，比赛的获胜条件是在一定时间内获得一定数量的分数或分数最多。在比赛中，应避免肢体接触。当然，最好理解游戏的方式自然是亲自下场，和詹姆斯库克大学新加坡校区的极限飞盘社团一起玩上一把！
社团的创建
詹姆斯库克大学新加坡校区的极限飞盘社最初是由来自大学心理科学专业的硕士研究生Jeremy所创建，他酷爱运动，目前仍担任该社团的社长。
起初，Jeremy创建极限飞盘社是因为许多同学和朋友都对参与这项在新加坡甚至世界范围内都越来越受欢迎的新运动很感兴趣。大家学习和掌握这项运动的基本技能非常容易，但是需要投入一定精力才能达到更高的水平。
另外，他提到詹姆斯库克大学新加坡校区提倡并支持具有创新和可行性的想法，大学里还有世界各地的学生，这为社团内本地和国际交流提供了独一无二的优势，这也是他创建这个社团，成为社长，并在大学参与丰富趣味活动的原因。
我们的社团
大学的极限飞盘社致力于发展体育文化并促进学生社交和身心健康发展。不仅在游戏方面，在生活方面也是如此。Jeremy提到，极限飞盘社积极践行诚信和相互尊重的价值观，并将其融入于游戏规则中。在个人成长方面，社团还为成员们提供发展机会，让大家更了解自己并为团队文化做出贡献。在社长的带领下，社团成员们也会花时间做志愿者或为社会活动提出想法等，由此成为更好的人。大家能在这享受乐趣，尊重与关怀！
在学期期间，社团通常每周都会举办活动，组织大家进行飞盘技能和体能训练，或与其他团体或个人一起玩飞盘。目前由于疫情的原因，社团暂时没有大型赛事。不过该社团的活动一直很受欢迎，这也促使著社长和成员们充满激情地去组织更多的极限飞盘活动。
同学们可以通过参与这个社团来结交的新朋友，或加深与同学之间的友谊。Jeremy社长分享说，他在这项团队运动中结识的朋友比任何其他方式都多，也通过这项运动发展了许多其它的爱好。如果同学们愿意投入时间和精力，相信不论在这项运动的技术层面，还是社交层面都能获得提高，这也是该项运动的魅力所在。
加入社团
一起极限飞盘！
希望加入极限飞盘社的同学们可以在大学的社团招新活动中报名，也可以与该社团的任一成员联系获取加入社团的相关信息，在线完成免费的会员资格注册，会员资格每学期更新一次。大家也可以向大学校园活动办公室的工作人员寻求帮助，加入社团。极限飞盘社欢迎目前处于任何技能水平的成员！
所有会员都可以参加极限飞盘社的活动。社团会测试成员们目前的竞技水平，并了解大家的个人期望，帮助同学们获得更好和更有意义的活动体验。
学长的经验与建议
对品学兼优和能力出众的Jeremy而言，拥有良好的时间管理能力非常重要，希望同学们也能从下方学长平衡学习和生活的方式中获得启发。
Jeremy认为在大学期间规划好自己的学业和社团活动时间，并坚持下去非常有用。对于一些复杂的任务，他会预留缓冲时间，但不依赖于此。此外，他也提到结交志同道合的朋友对此也非常有帮助。他通常会在一天的开始或结束时，给自己一些时间做一件最喜欢的事情，以奖励或鼓励一天的努力。
另外，他想对所有的学弟学妹们说：“保持友好和积极的态度，随时准备向身边的人学习和交流！”
1.About Ultimate Frisbee:
(1) Please introduce the sport of Ultimate Frisbee.
From humble beginnings as recreation from skilled expatriates in Singapore, Ultimate Frisbee has a thriving community of more than 3,000 people from the various schools & varsities who play the sport as part of their school programme or as an extra-curricular activity, with many recreational and competitive groups that play the sport in Singapore. On the international level, there are 90 member federations worldwide including Australia, India, Vietnam, and China. A full sized proper Ultimate game is a seven-a-side team sport played on a rectangular field about half the width of a football field, with an end zone at each end. The objective of each team is to score a goal by having a player catch a pass in the end zone that they are attacking. Ultimate is a team sport which mixes elements of football, basketball and rugby, with the scoring object being a flying disc (called a Frisbee). A unique point in this team sport is that all players are considered referees with self-calls and discussion culture for agreeing to resolve disputes quickly, and therefore termed as spirit of the game. Giving its rising popularity and well organised international competitive events, it was given the highest recognition by the Olympic Committee as a strong possible candidate as an Olympic sport.
(2) How to play Ultimate Frisbee?
You need a large flat open space, some cones to mark out the end zones in a rectangle field, a disc, and decent amount of players to form teams. Start the point with two teams in opposite end zones, and initiate by throwing the disc towards the other team. Offense team will attempt to connect floating passes to score with a pass into the opposite end zone. During play, contact is to be avoided. Once a score is made, the scorer team stays while the other team goes to the opposite end zone to prepare to play the next point. Games are won by first to a set number of points or most points within a certain period of time. Best way to understand is to actually come down and play with JCUS Ultimate when possible!
(3) What is the most interesting part in Ultimate Frisbee? Why?
I think that I meet more friends from this team sport than any other way, this can also extend to other mutual interests, and I see myself singing out louder in karaoke, spending more time chilling at the beach, or even eating good food within a fun day of playing!
2.About Your Club:
(1) Please introduce your club.
JCUS Ultimate (Flying Disc) Sports Club is committed to growing a sporting culture and improving social, physical and mental health within the student body. Not just in terms of the game but lessons that can apply to life as well. We allow active practice of the values of integrity and mutual respect, as integrated into the rules of the game of Ultimate. On a personal level, we also give opportunities for our members to discover more about themselves, be responsible towards their development, and contributors to team culture. Offering time for volunteering or putting forth ideas for social events are some instances on how we build better people. Have fun, respect and care!
(2) Please describe your club activities.
JCUS Ultimate (Flying Disc) Sports Club holds weekly events during the school term. We have skills and physical training, certification of rules on-demand basis, and open social games with other groups or members of public. At this time, there are hardly any competitive events due to the high number of participants required and this is not permitted for now. Our social games have been relatively popular though, and feedback for more of such sessions have been encouraging.
