Description: All pupils can get involved having fun catching and throwing soft-edged frisbees (provided by the BU coaches), working on skills, and playing the team game Ultimate Frisbee which encourages teamwork, catching/throwing skills, and athleticism! Ultimate is a rapidly growing, low-cost, mixed gender sport, which champions self-officiation and respect between players in a competitive environment. Through self-officiation, players learn communication skills, conflict resolution, responsibility, and the importance of fair-mindedness. As Ultimate involves a frisbee instead of a ball, the playing field is levelled, so all pupils can get involved by utilising their particular skillset. Catching, throwing, using space, communication and teamwork are all useful skills in the game, alongside running, jumping and diving after the frisbee. Anybody can pick up the game and have fun. Brighton Ultimate are the biggest Ultimate club in Europe. We work to create opportunities to play Ultimate in Brighton and introduce the game to beginners, as well as supporting local players and teams and providing coaches. Both local Universities have coached teams, and the top men's team are currently the 3rd best team in the UK - regularly competing on the international stage!

Children will develop several important skills for their growth, such as motor skills, coordination, mental sharpness, physical strength, emotional and personal development. Boys and girls will discover another way of feeling and moving the body through flamenco and identify how to dance with their core energy: feminine for the girl and masculine for the boys as flamenco is all about femininity and masculinity.
