Frisbee

Ultimate Frisbee is a limited-contact team field sport played with a flying disc (frisbee). Points are scored by passing the disc to a teammate in the opposing end zone. A relatively new sport but gaining lots of popularity for its ability to mix fun with a quality work out.

Dodgeball

Originating in Africa as a tribal ritual this game was brought to Europe by a missionary and developed into a less aggressive form. It was taken to the US in 1884 by Phillip Ferguson from Yale University who developed it into the faster court orientated game we see today.

Rounders

The game of rounders has been played in England since Tudor times, with the earliest reference being in 1744 in “A Little Pretty Pocketbook” where it was called baseball. This is a sport primarily played in school but US baseball authoritarians agree it was likely their game derived from rounders.
