Play Frisbee

Frisbee is a great way to spend time outside on a beautiful day.

When playing a game of Frisbee, just make sure that you don't throw too hard and always try and stay on your feet while playing. If you are playing a more intense game of Ultimate also make sure to avoid diving for the Frisbee.

It’s important to warm up and stretch before any game. Listen to your body! Don't play through any pain. If you are injured, wait until you’ve healed before starting to play again. And if you have glasses or braces, wear protective eye or mouth guards.

Whether you're just tossing the Frisbee with friends or playing a competitive game of Ultimate, make sure to drink plenty off water before, during and after your game (Keeping Your Cool). It’s also a good idea to wear sunscreen to keep from burning (Sun Proof) and bug repellent to keep the bugs where they belong – off of you!
