A new area of sports development has just been announced by The Junior Sports Programme. Following the successful introduction of Pop Lacrosse into Lincolnshire Schools with the help of English Lacrosse, JSP having been looking for other sporting activities that schools can introduce to make fuller use of existing playing fields and sports facilities. As a result, training and equipment are now being provided for Ultimate Disc Sports.

Ultimate Frisbee is now an international sporting discipline. It is popular in UK universities, but not generally available at primary and secondary school levels. This is a fast moving non-contact sport which incorporates the Junior Sports Programme’s ‘Fair Play’ ethic, known in Ultimate as ‘Spirit of the Game’.

Ultimate can be played on any playing field, is self regulating and needs minimal equipment.

The Junior Sports Programme can now provide free teacher training and equipment for schools in Lincolnshire and East Nottinghamshire.
