The Daily Star have just picked this up, and in true Derek Robins style put the article between a model's legs. The article: Spin Docs A college is offering a course in how to throw a frisbee. Grantham College, Lincs, is set to produce Britains first qualified coaches in the sport. Students will spend two hours a week learning the game. Frisbee Ultimate is played on a 110 yrd pitch and spread from a US High School in 1968 to most beaches around the world. Sports science lecturer Paul Unwin said "its attractive to people turned off by traditional sports because there is no contact and no aggression." I dont know what to say?! PU
