Abstract(s)
I have been involved in Ultimate and frisbee sports for 20 years.
I have lots to tell, lots of stories, I’ve come up against several obstacles and setbacks. However, my passion for the sport
and, in particular, for what Ultimate represents in all its different fields of knowledge, has helped me remain focused on
a well-defined objective.
#frisbeelifestyle is now here to stay. One of the aims of this Programme for PE Teachers is, without a doubt, to provide the
tools so that every professional can understand and prepare
their lessons/activities using the disc, where the SOTG –
Spirit of the Game is clearly presented and reinforced so that
teachers can understand how and in what manner they can put it into practice.
I soon realised how important disc games are in children’s multilateral, eclectic and well-balanced development. Pedagogically comprehensive, including in terms of affections and emotions, of motor control, and including a number of features that make these games unique in
teaching and in developing soft skills for life.
The first training course at a school in Portugal took place in 2003, and since then there have
been contacts with several hundreds of schools throughout the country and several training
sessions aimed at Physical Education teachers. In 2020, we will be part of the national physical
education curriculum and we aim to reach each and every school in Portugal and the Portuguese archipelagos.
Each country has their own laws in terms of Education and Sports, and it is not my place to
assess them or refer better teaching models or methods. We have created this programme with
the aim of reaching each and every teacher and anyone who is passionate about sports. The
programme is easy to read and perfectly adaptable to the curriculum in other countries.
We would like to make this tool, Ultimate and disc sports accessible to everyone, and the place
to start is at schools!
It is now up to each professional to use the disc to develop teaching strategies according to their
subject, so that we may make an impact and create a sound teaching mechanism in the medium
and long run!
I take this opportunity to thank the municipality of Leiria, the Polytechnic Institute of Leiria,
the IPDJ, Sports School and Leiria Flying Objects, for all their support over the years.
