Filipinos outgrown the pandemic while it was still having a fatal impact on
them. Even though the world is unkind, static, and blue, we manage to stay
busy and find a variety of ways to keep ourselves occupied. Sports are one
method that helps with this. It is crucial that via sports we get actively involved
in physical activity, removing the threat that the pandemic raises to our health.
Isn't there anything new with the diversity of sports we engage in and play?

QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED:
"Disc of youth" (not final, title may opt for change) our Group would like to promote the
ultimate frisbee towards the youth on the barangays of Iloilo. Sports such as Basketball,
volleyball, baseball, and many more are well known around the globe, however there are
those in which are good sports to play with yet do not appeal towards the majority.
Frisbee is one of those, thus we would like to promote it as something more than just
simply throwing discs towards others. Frisbee is one of those unique sports wherein
there are no referees at all in the field! Because of this honesty is pretty much
encouraged and plays a major role in the game. Not only that it's also one of the most
physically driven sports, making it a good way for the teens to be more physically fit after
2 years of lockdowns.
Why did you choose this advocacy and promotion? (Queenie)
We all know that a lot of kids, teenagers, and adults are fond of going to the plaza
in the city to roam around, catch up and talk with their friends, and play sports.
Ultimate Frisbee is not that popular in the Philippines since it has not been
granted full recognition to be played in sports meets that are played by different
varsity players in school, unlike the common sports of basketball, volleyball, and
badminton. We decided to implement ultimate frisbee not only to kill the boredom
of the people in the plaza but also to give knowledge to others that this sport is
fun to play and, of course, to introduce the sport: how to play it, the benefits that
they will gain while playing, and also to socialize with different people through this
sport. Also, ultimate frisbee is a non-contact sport, which is more safe and
suitable to play because the risks and transmissions of the COVID-19 pandemic
are still present. Furthermore, it is a simple sport in which people's willingness
and eagerness to play are essential, no bad foul calls will be made, and you can
always play with class. Lastly, this will improve our sense of sportsmanship and
camaraderie, as well as have positive impacts on our overall health.
This advocacy and promotion will be done on La Paz Plaza, which is our target
place for implementation. In order to conduct this advocacy, we will introduce
ourselves first and discuss some matters with the participants, including why we
chose them to play. Second, each of the group members will instruct and guide
the voluntary participants on what they should do when they are in-game. Third,
group members will demonstrate the warm-up before the game, as it is important
to avoid possible injuries that they might acquire while playing the game. Fourth,
they will teach the basic catching and throwing of the disc as well as the different
drills of the sport. Lastly, when the players are ready, they will begin competing
with each other and proceed to the game. The group members will just make sure
that no one gets injured or a possible fight occurs.
