The path to gender-responsive competitive sports,

Yawn? No – really substantial! The greatest growth potential lies in women’s sports. Soccer has long recognized this and is investing millions in this future market.

But the sport of Frisbee goes one step further. Where else are there exclusively Mixed Championships, like at the World Games in the USA? Women and men form one team.

The Erasmus instructions for the teams are available online. Anyone who reads it will have their eyes opened! Competitive sports are still a male-only domain, the top players and earners-an all-male show. But women are catching up! It’s about redirecting women who have been doing sports for a long time – into competitive sports and offering them new opportunities there. Questions of principle are addressed in the program. What are the expectations for athletic performance? How can group discussions proceed? The pyramid of violence will be presented and also how European neighboring countries are proceeding on their way to more gender justice, with practical case studies.

An absolutely exciting instructional thread that can be read in a targeted manner by cleverly dividing the sections.

If women’s sports are the market of the future – what can Ultimate and Disc Golf clubs do to get in on this? For sure, this includes female trainers, female networks, a new image of women. In other words, a fundamental change in mindset that cuts across all hierarchies. We at eurodisc® can only highly recommend this guide.

Very committed to gender equity and inclusion is the EUF ( Ultimate Federation Europe)

There is already a gender-balanced distribution of top positions on the Board of Management. For the EUF, inclusive programs are a priority.

The Gender Equity Guide was adopted and funded by the Erasmus+ Initiative in 2020 and is officially scheduled to be completed now, in October 2022. Nevertheless, it should continue to live and grow after this date. The EUF aims to create a legacy and platform for all issues related to DEI.

Your eurodisc® team

Our absolute favorite disc! We have updated the soft and highly flexible 100 g softdisc with a brand new design. The cool Throwzilla motif they come in many bright colors. Produced in Germany with green electricity. With its narrow edge, small diameter of only 23 cm and light weight, it fits well in smaller children’s hands. In motif printing finished with different hot printing foils. This frisbee is simply fun! It is playfully easy to throw. Highly resilient and durable due to good recovery after bending and stressing to the old shape. The pop colors are always easy to see when playing and glow even in tall grass or tree shade, so the disc is almost impossible to lose. Simply the ideal disc for kids from five years. But not only beginners like the disc, skilled frisbee players can throw this disc a distance up to 70 meters. This puts it in the absolute top tier. Throwzilla is the perfect frisbee for trips, outdoor sports and a great gift that will be enjoyed for a long time. No wonder it is so popular. Our customers give it 5 out of 5 stars.

We were on site at this year’s Club Ultimate European Championship (EUCF) in Caorle, Italy. The large airfield with hangar had space for 15 open air fields. We had our mobile printing tent with us. This allowed us to print all the winning discs with names just-in-time right before the awards ceremony. The weather was unpredictable, the games were partly interrupted by heavy rain. Trendy disco sounds from the loudspeaker next to us ensured dancing enthusiasts, good mood and variety around the stand. In front of the erected EUCF banner, we were able to directly capture the mood, take pictures and then print and distribute individual Frisbees. A welcome benefit for the players.

Over 1000 players from all over Europe met in Caorle. Fought in the open division, mixed and women with up to 24 teams.

In the open division, Ranelagh (Ireland) beat Clapham Ultimate (London) in the final, with CUSB La Fotta (Bologna) finishing third. The best spirit ratings Open received Devon Ultimate Gentle Open and Ranelagh.

In the women’s teams, CUSB Shout (Bologna) beat YAKA (Paris) in the final. Bristol Women came in third place.

We have been there! For the first time in 3 years the German Junior Championship in Ultimate Frisbee took place on September 17th and 18th. In 3 classes 10 teams each fought for the title “German Champion”. On a great weekend with great Ultimate Frisbee, TV Bad Rappenau prevailed in the U14 class. In the U17 FC Haunstetten won through with their team Juniorvolves. In the U20, Team Pizza Volante from Leipzig took first place.

eurodisc® was present with its own booth. Like all championships of the German federation, we supported this tournament with our game discs.

We want to avoid waste! There are always rejects in production. We no longer want to throw away the avoidable scrap but put it to good use. Therefore we have started 2 new projects at eurodisc. The recycling project and our “no waste” frisbee disc that this post is about.

When changing colors in production, wonderful unique pieces are created, but they are not standard. Therefore, we can not include these discs in the normal sale. Under the motto “no waste” we now include these discs as a permanent part of our range. Some discs are particularly unique while with other discs you will probably have to look closely to see why we are selling them as no waste discs.

Our “no waste” discs are in no way inferior to our other discs. You can continue to trust that all our discs have top flight characteristics.

We are pleased to introduce our new partner in Slovenia.

Frizbi svet – an initiative of Matic Kuselj – started in 2020 with the platform https://frizbisvet.si/ and the goal to promote the sport of Frisbee in Slovenia. Matic shows extraordinary commitment in Slovenia to bring the world of Frisbee closer to the people. With various projects like the School Ultimate League or teambuilding events, he wants to strengthen the cooperation with local companies, teams and schools and especially inspire young people for the fairest team sport in the world.

We wish Matic and his team much success with their project and look forward to working with them.

Eurodisc is taking another step in terms of sustainability and waste prevention. The new Eurodisc 175g Ultimate Recycled is made from recycled bio plastic. And in detail that means:

Unsaleable misproductions of our Eurodisc 175g BIO plastic discs do not end up in the garbage, but are melted down again. The resulting granules are then used to produce our recycled versions in excellent quality and with top flight characteristics. This makes our production even more sustainable. Because we make sure not to simply throw away faulty products, but to produce new discs from them, which will find their use again in sports and leisure. Available in five colors: Petrol, Moon, Purple, Red, Blue.
