極限飛盤
Ultimate Frisbee
極限！飛盤！
極限飛盤英文名爲Ultimate Frisbee，它極具挑戰與觀賞性，是一項融合了足球、籃球和橄榄球元素的對抗型競技運動。爲了贏得比賽，參與的選手通常要具備優秀的體能、快速的移動、敏銳的判斷以及穩定的控盤技巧。而極限飛盤最有意思的地方是：所有球員都是裁判，運動員們可以自己在場上對爭端進行裁決。而要實現這種裁決方式的基礎是運動員之間必須相互尊重，尊重對手，尊重裁決。而這種尊重，就是“極限飛盤的精神”。
起初，極限飛盤在新加坡只是些外國人的娛樂活動。現在，這個活動在新加坡非常流行，在這玩極限飛盤的人已經形成了超過3000人的社區，他們來自不同的學校，有些學校甚至還將這項運動作爲課程或課外活動的一部分，新加坡有許多團體以這項運動爲娛樂活動或進行競技。在國際上，全世界範圍內有90個會員聯合會，包括在中國、澳大利亞、印度和越南。隨著極限飛盤受歡迎程度的提升和國際比賽組織的規範，它得到了奧委會的最高認可，即作爲一個強有力的奧運會候選項目。
怎麽玩？
帶上你的極限飛盤，叫上你的小夥伴們，分成兩組（正規比賽是7V7）。再找一個寬廣平整的方形場地，用一些物體來標記場地的末端區域，那麽遊戲就可以開始了！
開始時兩支球隊在相反的終點區，然後以其中一支球隊將圓盤扔向另一支球隊開始比賽。進攻隊嘗試將飛盤傳接到對方區得分，而防守方想辦法阻止進攻隊員接住飛盤。在得分前，攻防轉換可以一直進行。一旦得分，攻守易位，比賽的獲勝條件是在一定時間內獲得一定數量的分數或分數最多。在比賽中，應避免肢體接觸。當然，最好理解遊戲的方式自然是親自下場，和詹姆斯庫克大學新加坡校區的極限飛盤社團一起玩上一把！
社團的創建
詹姆斯庫克大學新加坡校區的極限飛盤社最初是由來自大學心理科學專業的碩士研究生Jeremy所創建，他酷愛運動，目前仍擔任該社團的社長。
起初，Jeremy創建極限飛盤社是因爲許多同學和朋友都對參與這項在新加坡甚至世界範圍內都越來越受歡迎的新運動很感興趣。大家學習和掌握這項運動的基本技能非常容易，但是需要投入一定精力才能達到更高的水平。
另外，他提到詹姆斯庫克大學新加坡校區提倡並支持具有創新和可行性的想法，大學裏還有世界各地的學生，這爲社團內本地和國際交流提供了獨一無二的優勢，這也是他創建這個社團，成爲社長，並在大學參與豐富趣味活動的原因。
我們的社團
大學的極限飛盤社致力于發展體育文化並促進學生社交和身心健康發展。不僅在遊戲方面，在生活方面也是如此。Jeremy提到，極限飛盤社積極踐行誠信和相互尊重的價值觀，並將其融入于遊戲規則中。在個人成長方面，社團還爲成員們提供發展機會，讓大家更了解自己並爲團隊文化做出貢獻。在社長的帶領下，社團成員們也會花時間做志願者或爲社會活動提出想法等，由此成爲更好的人。大家能在這享受樂趣，尊重與關懷！
在學期期間，社團通常每周都會舉辦活動，組織大家進行飛盤技能和體能訓練，或與其他團體或個人一起玩飛盤。目前由于疫情的原因，社團暫時沒有大型賽事。不過該社團的活動一直很受歡迎，這也促使著社長和成員們充滿激情地去組織更多的極限飛盤活動。
同學們可以通過參與這個社團來結交的新朋友，或加深與同學之間的友誼。Jeremy社長分享說，他在這項團隊運動中結識的朋友比任何其他方式都多，也通過這項運動發展了許多其它的愛好。如果同學們願意投入時間和精力，相信不論在這項運動的技術層面，還是社交層面都能獲得提高，這也是該項運動的魅力所在。

學長的經驗與建議
對品學兼優和能力出衆的Jeremy而言，擁有良好的時間管理能力非常重要，希望同學們也能從下方學長平衡學習和生活的方式中獲得啓發。
Jeremy認爲在大學期間規劃好自己的學業和社團活動時間，並堅持下去非常有用。對于一些複雜的任務，他會預留緩沖時間，但不依賴于此。此外，他也提到結交志同道合的朋友對此也非常有幫助。他通常會在一天的開始或結束時，給自己一些時間做一件最喜歡的事情，以獎勵或鼓勵一天的努力。
另外，他想對所有的學弟學妹們說：“保持友好和積極的態度，隨時准備向身邊的人學習和交流！”
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.
(3) How can students join the club? Are there any requirements for students to join the club?
Do approach any member for information and register your details for free student membership done online, which is renewable every semester. You may also approach our friendly campus activities staff for assistance. Any ability level is welcome!
(4) Whether all members can participate in club activities, or do they need to be screened for participation?
All members can participate in club activities. There is a screening process to find out what level you can currently play at and your personal expectations for consideration, but it serves to build better and more meaningful experiences within club activities. The only screening for physical events participation is the check in and out procedure for temperature taking due to covid-19 safe management measures. If you have a fever or feel unwell, do stay safe and see a doctor!
(5) What can this club bring to its members? (In terms of students’ study or life)
This club can encourage you to deepen your friendships and form new ones in your student life, if you are willing to put in the time and effort to improving the relationship. The process of putting in the work, acquiring and improving your skillsets on a technical level as well as a social level, makes playing so much more experiential and enjoyable!
3.Personal Questions:
(1) Please introduce your background.
Hi, I’m Jeremy, graduating student majoring in Psychological Science from Singapore and I love multiple sports including Basketball, Swimming, Running, Badminton and Ultimate Frisbee!
(2) Why did you choose to join this club at the beginning? And why did you decide to become the president of the club?
Some of the students and friends were very interested to pick up a new activity that is growing in popularity in Singapore and all around the world. It is very easy to pick up and learn the basic skills but can take more commitment to reach higher levels and have local and international interaction which JCU Singapore is uniquely able to offer and have a good mix of students. The university is ready to offer support to fresh ideas that can be workable within the school culture that is why I felt that the decision to create this club and become a club president was a possible route to have more interesting activities in JCUS.
(3) As a president of the club, what challenges have you ever met in your club? How did you overcome them?
Due to the current pandemic, a lot more considerations on proper spacing and infection control measures were implemented on a national level as well as within campus that affected the planning and running on activities and physical events. By having a willingness to be updated on the current guidelines and working with the stakeholders and participants it can be overcome. Having some previous experience working in the healthcare industry as well helped me as well in terms of being able to classify and modify activities in context of lowering the risk of transmission to be responsible when conducting activities as well. This is important as at any point things are fluid and can change for the worse or better but I can be prepared and adaptable for most situations.
(4) How do you balance the club work and your study?
What I found that works for me is to allocate and stick to the time you have set for doing your school work and club activities. One thing to recognise is to also account for buffer time the more complicated the task is, but do not be reliant on it. Having like-minded friends helps as well. Also, have some time for yourself doing a favourite thing to spend at the start or end of the day to reward yourself on having worked on something over the course of the day!
(5) Do you have any suggestions or advice for new students?
Be approachable, have a positive attitude, ready to learn and communicate with whoever you may have interaction with!
