Ultimate Frisbee

• Explain the physical activity you participated in.

So today we played ultimate frisbee. The rules of the game are very simple its just like turbo touch but instead with a frisbee. First things first is you make 2 teams and just before you start you will have both teams start at each end of the field. The aim of the game is to get the frisbee down the other end of the field to score a point.

• What level of effort and engagement were you participating at during today’s physical activity? Why? (Grade yourself NA, A or M and refer to marking criteria)

For today I would grade myself with a Merit because I was really engaged in the game and I was also trying hard to get the frisbee down the other end of the field to score a point. While playing I very motivated to play the game and I also showed that I enjoyed playing this game.

need to add in 2-3 examples from the marking criteria

• What were three factors which influenced your participation? (Choose from the list below, and put a + or - beside the three factors to show whether it positively or negatively influenced your participation).

- Environment

+ Previous Experience

- Challenge

• Explain HOW these factors affected your participation (with specific examples)

Environment was a negative because it was really windy so it had a big effect on the frisbee because you had to try counter the wind when you would throw the frisbee. This had a small affect on me because I would start getting mad because I couldn't throw the frisbee straight or to my team mates, so I didn't want to play as much.

Previous Experience was a positive because I had played this game back in yr 9-10. This also had a small affect on me because I had previous experience I kind of already knew how the game was played and the rules. Because I knew a little bit of the game, this affected my participation, because I was trying to play at other peoples level who hadn't played before. So I wasn't playing as serious as I could.

Challenge was negative because it wasn't easy trying to throw the frisbee towards the wind. This had a big affect on me considering it was hard to throw the frisbee I would start getting frustrated because the frisbee wouldn't go where I wanted it to go. So this made me not want to play because the frisbee went the wrong way.

How could you increase your (or your peers) participation in this activity in the future?
I could increase my peers participation by making them want to play the game. By motivating them and making them hyped to play the game by talking and asking what makes them not want to play.
