Great Britain Ultimate World Games Brochure.Pdf Great Britain Ultimate World Games 2013, Cali, Colombia This July, the Great Britain Ultimate team will take to the field in Cali, Colombia, to contest the World Games title and become recognised as the top ultimate-playing nation in the world. Our mission is clear: to challenge for the gold medal. In order to achieve that goal, Team GB will need to train at the highest level, with the best coaches, equipment and support team, and will need to do whatever it takes to beat the best... What is the World Games? The World Games is an international event showcasing non- Olympic high-participation sports under the patronage of the International Olympic Committee. The event acts as a platform for many disciplines seeking Olympic ULTIMATE status, including sports such as squash, karate and IN A NUTSHELL rugby sevens. The event takes place every four years and this year it is being hosted in Cali, Colombia. With over half a million visitors Ultimate is played on a large grass expected, this year promises to be bigger pitch with 2 endzones. than ever.

Players can’t run with the disc. The opposing team may regain possession by intercepting the disc, either by catching it or simply knocking it to the ground. First team to reach 15 points wins. What is Ultimate? Ultimate Frisbee, officially just called Ultimate, is a fast-paced, high-action, exhilarating team sport played with a flying disc. With over 7 million players across the world, the sport is growing rapidly, and prides itself on the spirit and fair- mindedness of its players. The Great Britain Ultimate Team has qualified for the World Games by achieving a top 5 world ranking overall in the sport and a 2nd place finish at the 2012 World Championships in Japan. Why do we need sponsorship? The top 13 players from the GB Ultimate community will be selected to represent Great Britain at this prestigious event. Ultimate is recognised by Sport England but it receives no funding whatsoever and so all the costs have to be met by the players themselves. In order to achieve our ambition of winning a medal at the 2013 World Games we are pushing ourselves to the limit, training 6 days a week, including 3 weekend team trainings a month. Sponsorship money would go towards training facilities and venues, equipment, coaching staff, and physiotherapy, as well as transport to an international warm up tournament and the World Games event in Columbia itself. We need to raise £55,000 to cover the whole team’s training costs and to take us to Cali. A breakdown of these costs can be provided upon request. Captivating players and spectators alike, Ultimate is a modern sport built to last. Its rapid growth both in the UK and around the world is a testament to the sport's ability to inspire both children and adults to take up regular physical exercise and enjoy the team experience, which few other activities can offer on a truly universal basis. The sport's clean image, player enthusiasm and community spirit attract new starters every week, who are drawn in by the competitive yet friendly atmosphere that is evident from the grassroots up. If your company shares our values and vision, don't hesitate to get in touch. Become part of the greatest sport on Earth – support Team GB Ultimate. www.ukultimate.com/worldgames .

  • Appendix a – National and Local Recreation Trends
    APPENDIX A – NATIONAL AND LOCAL RECREATION TRENDS NATIONAL DATA NATIONAL TRENDS IN GENERAL SPORTS The sports most heavily participated in for 2016 were golf (24.1 million in 2015) and basketball (22.3 million), which have participation figures well in excess of the other activities in the general sports category. The popularity of golf and basketball can be attributed to the ability to compete with relatively small number of participants. Golf also benefits from its wide age segment appeal, and is considered a life-long sport. Basketball’s success can be attributed to the limited amount of equipment needed to participate and the limited space requirements necessary, which make basketball the only traditional sport that can be played at the majority of American dwellings as a drive-way pickup game. Since 2011, rugby and other niche sports, like boxing, roller hockey, and squash, have seen strong growth. Rugby has emerged as the overall fastest growing sport, as it has seen participation levels rise by 82.4% over the last five years. Based on the five-year trend, boxing (62%), roller hockey (55.9%), squash (39.3%), lacrosse (39.2%), cheerleading (32.1%) and field hockey (31.8%) have also experienced significant growth. In the most recent year, the fastest growing sports were gymnastics (15%), rugby (14.9%), sand volleyball (14.7%), Pickleball (12.3%), and cheerleading (11.7%). During the last five years, the sports that are most rapidly declining include touch football (-26%), ultimate Frisbee (-24.5%), racquetball (-17.9%), and tackle football (-15%). Ultimate Frisbee and racquetball are losing their core participants while touch football and tackle football are experiencing attrition of its casual participant base.

  • Ultimate 4'S Rules Modifications
    Ultimate 4’s Rules Modifications - Proposed Appendix to 2020-21 Rules Overview - Ultimate 4’s is an exciting and accessible variation of ultimate adapted for smaller teams and smaller fields. Like other variations that use smaller numbers, such as Beach Ultimate, 4’s helps create an opportunity for more involvement from everyone on the field. With shorter stall counts, play moves at a faster pace, and the smaller field creates a space where more throwers can reach all areas of the field. The need for fewer people and less field space makes the sport more accessible in multiple ways. While played with most of the same rules as regulation ultimate, including field surface, matches consist of multiple short games rather than one long one. The first team to win two of the three games wins the match, a format which lends itself to exciting comebacks and thrilling tie-breakers. The following adaptations to the rules are to be used in Ultimate 4’s competition. These adaptations may be additions to the current official rules or may supersede existing rules. Other than these additions and changes, the current official rules apply to Ultimate 4’s competition. Field size (yards) Central Zone Length: 37 Length: Central Zone (goal line to goal line) Width: 25 End Zone: 8 Total Length: 53 Note: Total length is the approximate width of an American football field. Matches and Games Matches are best of 3 games. The third game is not required if one team wins the first two games. Point Totals The first two games are to 5.

    Rugby Canada LTRd SuPPLEMEnTaRy SEVENS RUGBY IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE LTRD: COMMUNITY AND COUNTRY 1 2 LTRD: SEVENS RUGBY IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE Introduction The sevens specific Long Term Rugby Development model implementation guide is an extension of the current LTRD model implemented by Rugby Canada. The aim of the sevens specific model is to inform children, parents, and all other stake holders of the requirements needed to potentially perform in the shortened version of the game. Sevens is now a recognized pathway to national and international competition, with a World Series and Olympic tournament the pinnacle for sevens players. The document has been produced to provide a specific pathway for players wishing to specialize in sevens and give all stakeholders a formal model to follow. The sevens specific model presents a road-map, a developmental check list, for coaches to remedy these traditional shortcomings by training players according to the LTRD outlined by Rugby Canada. A series of itemized tables or “matrices” show expressly which player skills and attributes should be prioritized at each stage of LTRD. Like the full Rugby Canada LTRD the sevens specific pathway is a work in progress and probably always will be. It is based on current knowledge and experience along with available research in areas of physiological testing and human development.

  • Ultimate Frisbee Study Sheet
    Ultimate Frisbee Study Sheet Ultimate is an exciting, non-contact team sport, played by thousands the world over. It mixes the best features of sports such as Soccer, Basketball, American Football and Netball into an elegantly simple yet fascinating and demanding game. To compete at the top level, Ultimate players require an unmatched degree of speed, stamina and agility . Yet the simplicity of the rules means it's easy and fun for newcomers to pick up. Originating from pie dishes thrown around by American Students, Frisbees have been around most of this century. The sport of Ultimate has its roots in the college campuses of “Sixties America”. The game: A general description Ultimate is played between two teams on a large rectangular pitch. A line drawn across the pitch at either end creates two "end zones" (like in American Football). These are the goal-scoring areas. A goal is scored when a team completes a pass to a player who is in the end zone they are attacking. Players cannot run with the disc . When you get the disc you must come to a stop and try to throw it to another player. By passing from player to player, the offense attempts to work the disc up the pitch towards the end zone they are attacking. If the disc hits the ground or is intercepted or knocked down by the other team, then the opposition takes possession (a change of possession is called a "turnover"). Possession also changes if a receiver is outside the playing area when he or she catches it.

  • National Trends
    APPENDIX B – NATIONAL TRENDS TRENDS ANALYSIS Information released by Sports & Fitness Industry Association’s (SFIA) 2016 Study of Sports, Fitness, and Leisure Activities Topline Participation Report reveals that the most popular sport and recreational activities include: fitness walking, treadmill, running/jogging, free weights and road bicycling. Most of these activities appeal to both young and old alike, can be done in most environments, are enjoyed regardless of level of skill, and have minimal economic barriers to entry. These popular activities also have appeal because of their social application. For example, although fitness activities are mainly self-directed, people enjoy walking and biking with other individuals because it can offer a degree of camaraderie. Fitness walking has remained the most popular activity of the past decade by a large margin, in terms of total participants. Fitness walking participation last year was reported to be nearly 110 million Americans. Although fitness walking has the highest level of participation, it did report a 2.4% decrease in 2015 from the previous year. This recent decline in fitness walking participation paired with upward trends in a wide variety of other activities, especially in fitness and sports, suggests that active individuals are finding new ways to exercise and diversifying their recreational interests. In addition, the popularity of many outdoor adventure and water-based activities has experienced positive growth based on the most recent findings; however, many of these activities’ rapid increase in participation is likely a product of their relatively low user base, which may indicate that these sharp upward trends may not be sustained long into the future.
