Ultimate FrisbeecomPanion BOOK

acknowledgments The Australian Sports Commission wishes to acknowledge the contribution of the following people and organisations to the production of this resource.

A significant number of the activities included within the Ultimate Frisbee Companion Book have been adapted from the Playing for Life Resource Kit, with the assistance of Jonathan Potts (Australian Flying Disc Association), Piers Truter (Australian Flying Disc Association), Steve Baker (Australian Flying Disc Association), Owen Shepherd (Australian Flying Disc Association) and Greg Williams (AASC). These contributors also provided suggestions for the inclusion of new activities and the sport specific content.

Gayle Rogers (ACHPER/Schools Network), Sue Cormack (ACHPER/Schools Network), Bruce Knights (Keilor Downs Secondary College) and Les Bee developed the content for the introduction and principles for how and when to change activities.

The editorial team of Jeff Dry, Wenda Donaldson (AASC), Teena Jackson (AASC), Lainie Houston (AASC), Melissa Backhouse (Junior Sport Unit) and Ashley Beaver (AASC) developed, proofread and edited written materials and significantly contributed to the overall content and format of the final product.

DisclaimerThe Playing for Life companion books have been designed for use with students aged 4–12. Each book assumes that each student is healthy and has no medical condition, disability, illness, impairment or other reason that may impact, limit or restrict their involvement in sport or other physical activity. A student should not be allowed to participate in an activity if any medical, physical or other factor indicates that they are not suited to that activity. Where there are any queries or concerns about such matters, the consent of the student’s parent or guardian should be obtained before allowing participation. While care has been taken in the preparation of these books, the publisher and authors do not accept any liability arising from the use of the books including, without limitation, from any activities described in the books.
