The Year 12 students of Alperton Community School were given the opportunity to experience the game of Ultimate Frisbee during Activity Week last Monday. Led by Mr. Lazaroo, a group of volunteers from the local community facilitated the Ultimate Frisbee taster sessions for almost 150 students over the course of the entire day. The volunteers coached students on how to improve their throwing and catching technique, whilst also introducing the fundamental rules of the sport. Soon after, the students were able to play matches against each other based on their form classes and showcase their newly acquired skills. There was a lot of friendly and positive competition amongst the students and the session was ultimate-ly fun for all the students, volunteers as well as accompanying staff members who joined in.
