Disc Sports History (Frisbee)

1970's Frisbee Becomes a Sport

Guts, Ultimate, Freestyle, Golf, Distance, Accuracy, MTA, Self Caught Flight, Discathon and Double Disc Court became this sports first events.

There are certain people that stand out when acknowledging who laid the ground work for the transition of playing with the Frisbee as a toy to disc sports. The Healy family (Guts), Tom Kennedy (Ultimate and UPA), Ken Westerfield (Utimate, Freestyle and Canadian Open), Jim Kenner (Freestyle and Canadian Open), Dave Marinni (FPA), Jim Palmeri (AFDO), Tom Schot (Santa Cruz Tournaments), Dan Roddick ( IFA and WFDF), Ed Headrick (Whamo and Disc Golf), Joel Silver (Ultimate). These are people that not only excelled with the Frisbee when it was still considered a toy, but help create the formats and concepts through their own tournaments and or organizations that produced the events and organization of disc sports we see today.

The Canadian Open Frisbee Championships, Toronto Canada (the beginning of Freestyle Competition), American Flying Disc Open (AFDO), Rochester, NY, Octad, New Jersey, International Frisbee Tournament (IFT), Marquette, MI, Santa Cruz Flying Disc Classic, Santa Cruz, California, and the World Frisbee Championships (WFC), held at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, were the most progressive and trend setting tournaments of that time. These tournaments are where the sport of Frisbee ( disc sports ) really began.

Chinook Sports Coach

A Chinook Sports Coach is the definition of any person who has no moral or ethic sense. These characteristics were made known in Chinook, MT. Sports coaches feel their ego's are more important than the kids they are coaching. They often fail to realize that in High School sports specifically, the focus is on kids having fun and not on power tripping adults.

These Chinook Sports Coaches will bypass any attempts at an ethical decision if it allows them to look good to their superiors. This type of person does not have any balls what so ever and also lacks a backbone as they can not stand up to their convictions and in a sense admitting their own guilt.

Anyone who finds them self dealing with one of these Chinook Sports Coaches should rest assured what goes around comes around so don't conform to their wishes and stand up for yourself
-That Basketball coach just wants in his players pants doesn't he?

> Yeah, he's defiantly a Chinook Sports Coach!
