Lesser-Known Disc Sports to Try This Summer
Disc golf has exploded in popularity during the past few years. The Professional Disc Golf Association reports more than 7,000 disc golf courses in the United States. It’s inexpensive, accessible, and fun, which has made it the perfect sport for many Americans. But disc golf isn’t the only sport that involves Frisbees. Many other disc-related sports are gaining popularity and are worth checking out. Here are a few entertaining disc-related sports you might not be familiar with. Guts Dodgeball is one of the most exciting games many can remember from our youth. There’s nothing more exhilarating than hitting someone with a ball and getting the final out. Guts is similar to dodgeball, with some slight differences. The court is split into two halves, with each team occupying one half and facing the other and a goal line at the back of each side. Players take turns throwing the discs at the other team, who must stand still until the disc leaves the thrower’s hand. The throwing
team is awarded a point if the disc strikes a player or crosses the goal line. The first team to score 21 points wins. Fricket Fricket is a two-on-two sport often called the cricket of disc sports. Start by getting four 5-foot wickets made from plastic or bamboo. Place two side by side, about 15 inches apart, and then place the other two 40 yards away. Place red Solo cups on top of the wickets, and that’s all the setup you need! Each team takes turns throwing their disc at the wickets. You gain a point if you knock a cup on the ground or your disc passes between the wickets without touching them. If the opposing team catches your throw one-handed, they get a point. The first team to 21 points wins. Disc Dog There are many disc sports involving man’s best friend. Toss and Fetch requires the owner to throw as many discs as possible for their dog to catch in 60 seconds. Freestyle competitions are choreographed
performances that last over a minute. And long-distance events showcase the thrower’s arm and the dog’s speed. Participating in these events takes a lot of training, but they are incredibly entertaining to watch and a great way to bond with your dog.
