Physical Educator Outreach

Greetings to PE teachers! As part of the UPA's expanded Youth Development Program we have begun creating additional resources for Physical Educators. Ultimate is an ideal sport for your PE class as it combines skills that are easy to learn with plenty of exercise. To top it off, the equipment to play Ultimate is inexpensive. Below there is a link to more information about our Physical Educator Outreach that is being supported by Wham-O, as well as links to an instructional kit that has everything that you need to include Ultimate in your classrooms, our middle and high school PE Curriculum and the UPA Instructional DVD and the new Fitness DVD.

For any questions please contact Meredith Tosta.

Quotes about Ultimate:

"This will be very helpful to me. I mentioned your site to a number of our grads teaching at middle school. I also told them about the DVD. They are excited about how this can be included in their curriculum. Rugby has taken off well at middle school and now at highschool. Ultimate seems to capture some of the excitement of rugby but without a contact model to aspire towards. I find the fairplay and non-contact a great benefit. I have been incorporating disc play in my elementary program with my student teachers. Now I have the information needed to present Ultimate as an important option in Team Sports class and my Middle and Secondary Methods classes. Connected with the tactical approach or the sport ed model, this is a dynamic and viable opportunity to get kids moving." - Nancy Schmitz, Ed.D.


"Thank you for recently sending me a copy of the Ultimate Frisbee Middle
and High School Curriculum and frisbees to go along with the unit.   It
is a valuable resource and since I teach in an inner city school
setting, a sport that kids value.  There is a very active adult
Ultimate league here in our city and they play rain/snow/sleet-all
weather. Thanks again for all of your support-my kids love frisbee activities
already and play every day at recess. Thanks to a recent grant I
obtained from our PTO, we have about twenty frisbees that get very
active use daily!" - Francesca Zavacky, Venable Elementary School, Physical Education Specialist
