HUNDREDS of ultimate frisbee competitors from around Australia embarked on Shepparton last month for the Australian Mixed Ultimate Division 2 Championships.
The national level event pits the country’s top teams against each other for a three-day competition, with 30 teams from Division 2 playing off from April 12 to 14, bringing over 600 competitors to Shepparton’s Sports City Precinct.
Brisbane competitors Victoria and Malin have both been playing since 2022. Victoria said, “I played a lot of sport growing up and when I went to uni I wanted to get back into playing sport and frisbee seem to be the main one that everybody played. I love that it combines a few different sports into one and I loves the friendship that I’ve made.”
Malin said, “I love being part of a team and how well everyone gets along. I love to travel and play a game I really enjoy.”
From Melbourne, Rakshan has been playing for two years and said, “I like the mateship and how welcoming teammates are to each other, and I love how I get to travel Australia playing the sport that I love.”
