Vicksburg, Mississippi (WLBT) – You’ve probably heard of disc golf or the ultimate Frisbee, but a new flying disc sport is all the rage. disc hoop.<\/p>\n
“It’s like basketball crossed with the ultimate Frisbee. So if you like either of these sports, you’ll probably like DiscHoops,” said a DiscHoops player.<\/p>\n
This new sport uses some of the same rules that apply to basketball. You have pass, defense and shoot, but the main difference is you have a disc.<\/p>\n
And then one player saw it all come together…<\/p>\n
“My dad made the sport, so I was kind of drawn into it,” said the DiscHoops player. \u201cWhen he started making this sport, he took it from me and a lot of people in the community where I played Ultimate Frisbee. Did.”<\/p>\n
This sport has caught the attention of many people, and since the game is so easy to start, more people decided to participate.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love how easy it is to incorporate the Ultimate Frisbee and Basketball,\u201d said Brett Williams. “The rules are seamless.”<\/p>\n
The Vicksburg YMCA is the first organization to support the new disc sport. They opened the doors of the gym and created a program that gave the sport a place to grow.<\/p>\n
“The time is now. DiscHoops has no experts,” said Phillip Doiron, executive director of the Vicksburg YMCA. “Come here, try it. Anyone can throw a Frisbee. You can play DiscHoops.”<\/p>\n
So I decided to take him up on the challenge and tried it myself, but it’s not as easy as it looks – after 9 attempts, I finally succeeded once.<\/p>\n
DiscHoops is now expanding globally, but the creators of the game want more people in Magnolia State to know about it.<\/p>\n
Larry Storey’s goal is to shine a spotlight on disc sports and offer what the state can call its own.<\/p>\n
“I didn’t expect it to be as successful as it is, but it all started here. I think it’s good for Mississippians. Frankly, I hope our sport is as popular as it is now.” I think it’s Mississippi’s best-kept secret,” Story said.<\/p>\n
