Frisbee

Fort Street has experienced one of its biggest growths in Ultimate Frisbee since 2019, with 6 students representing New South Wales at the Australian Youth Ultimate Championships and over 30 students participating in the NSW state school championships. The FSHS A team came 3rd out of 20 teams and the B team ranked 11th. Furthermore, from the Australian Youth Ultimate Championships, the New South Wales teams won 1st and 2nd place. In turn, the now-graduated Year 12 student Lucas Liu was selected for the Australian U20s national team. With a new year and new state team selections coming up, many Fort Street students are eager to try out again for the first time.

Thanks to the welcoming environment on the oval, a lot of Year 7 students have discovered their passion in frisbee. Under the leadership and guidance of our experienced senior students, they are honing their skills in preparation for the Junior Schools State Competition next year. Many have joined the Frisbee Club run by Christian Burger (relieving for Edmund Feng) on Tuesday mornings from 7:45 a.m. – 8:45 a.m. in which students of any skill level are welcome to join. Throughout the year we have worked through basic throwing skills, then progressed to more complex game strategies. The fast-learning Year 7s are already demonstrating their speed in learning new skills and are almost a challenge for the year 10s to play against.

​We hope to see Ultimate Frisbee continue to grow at the Fort, and we know that the future of Frisbee is in good hands.
