Qu went to a game for new players with his friends.

"It was pretty nice, and we had a coach walking us through the rules and basic skills," he says.

Each session usually lasted for two hours, and he got to apply the coach's instructions in the second hour with his friends.

Qu discovered that the rules of frisbee were relatively simple.

The main objective is to catch the frisbee in the end zone. Essential to the game is the fact that a thrower can't move from the spot they caught it. A team will work together to try and get the frisbee down the field as efficiently as possible by throwing the disc to an advancing teammate.

"For example, when you hold the frisbee, you cannot move but instead you pivot on one foot until the disc is released," Qu says.

When not holding the disc, a player is free to run anywhere within the field of play to receive a pass.

Qu plays frisbee with his friends twice a week and has been to events arranged by four different clubs across the capital.

The sport not only satisfies his need for exercise, but also allows him to catch up with his friends.
