More than 100 ace aerialists are slated to compete in the 2019 World Overall Flying Disc Championships, to be held in various Richmond, Virginia-area parks and fields in July.
‘‘A flying disc is what a ball wants to be when it grows up,” says Rob McLeod, a.k.a. Frisbee Rob (pictured). “You know what a basketball, football or soccer ball can do, but with a flying disc, there are so many more possibilities.”Hailing from Alberta B.C., McLeod is one of the hundred athletes from across the globe slated to participate in the world championships.
“The competition is best compared to a decathlon or heptathlon,” says event organizer and player Jack Cooksey. “There are seven different events with individual skill tests, and two of the events are partner events.”
