adequate types of discs for every season and bad weather.

warm up well and adequately prepare for physical activity, which is especially important when

careful because slipping on ice or snow is possible, which can lead to falls and unpleasant
injuries. For cold and snowy weather, it is necessary to choose discs made of soft and sticky
plastic or use chalk to make the disc fit better. In addition, it is necessary to wear friction gloves
or hand warmers because your hands freeze easily during the winter, and your throw will be
much better when you do it with a warm hand.
