Frisyay is the rapidly growing ultimate frisbee club in Dungog

Ultimate frisbee is a combination of different sports, combining American Football with the Australian pastime of throwing a frisbee.

Every week a group of up to 20 people meet behind Dungog library and split into two teams to play ultimate frisbee.

Dungog's ultimate frisbee's club, Frisyay comes with one unique twist, one team wears handmade tutu's, according to Frisyay's vice president Gavin Dimery.

"We bought some very bright rainbow ones [tutu's] online at first and then we had some sewed up which didn't last very long," Dimery said.

"Then we had a working bee at the Tin Shed Brewery with some recycled materials that we attached to elastic with strips... the Boomerang Bag ladies and a few other people donated older materials."

The two different teams are chosen randomly whenever Frisyay meets with new and different people joining the game each week.

Ultimate frisbee in Dungog began four years ago in mid-2019 and only had a few months of activity before the initial COVID-19 pandemic.

Frisyay's founding member and president, Dan Lyons began the club after moving to Dungog from the Blue Mountains and wanting to continue playing the sport.

For Dimery, it's this openness, diversity and welcoming attitude that is a real highlight of the Frisyay movement.

"It's not ultra competitive, it's more about coming along and having a bit of fun and then there's the social aspect afterward of catching up," Dimery said.

"We are friendly, welcoming, diverse, and everyone's welcome. It doesn't matter about skill level or background ability, they can come along, have a run and have a bit of fun and get some exercise."

Frisyay meets every Sunday afternoon behind the Dungog Library with children and adults able to play from 4pm and adults only from 4.30pm.
