“…In 2020 the #FRISBEELIFESTYLE emphasized that UF was organized around a lifestyle or an alternative way to play sport, but this has been given little attention in the research (Griggs 2011). This overlooks the fact that UF, like other fringe cultures, is linked with lifestyles and communities that are expressed through music, clothing, equipment, and locations that set them apart from the dominant culture (Gieseler 2019). This is important because experts often point out that a healthy lifestyle is an active process that first emerges during ontogenesis, especially during the maturity phase during which the background of an activity along with its norms and values constitute the environment in which people live (Pomohaci and Sopa 2018).…”

Teamwork, Spirit of the Game and Communication: A Review of Implications from Sociological Constructs for Research and Practice in Ultimate Frisbee Games

Ultimate Frisbee (UF) is a non-contact, challenging, and self-promoted team sport. Its characteristics, such as the game environment and rules, appear to influence the on-the-pitch behaviour of players. This article examines the content of qualitative studies to determine if and how the unique characteristics of UF may be related to nine sociological themes, that may be identified during gameplay. These themes include the following: (a) competition and performance; (b) enjoyment; (c) communication; (d) cooperation/friendship; (e) behaviors/welfare; (f) teamwork/social skills; (g) environment/lifestyle; (h) rules/self-refereeing and (i) spirit of the Game (SOTG). The review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. A comprehensive search protocol was used to identify, screen, and select published research articles under a Qualitative Systematic Review (QSR). The search was occurred from 1 June to 30 December 2020 with no limitations regarding the year of publication. Original English-language papers that contained relevant data regarding sociological themes and UF were selected. As a result, nine papers were qualified to be included in the final version of QSR. The files analyzed were structured with MAXQDA. A total of 521 references were identified and selected for analysis. After the Screening (n = 301) and Eligibility (n = 71) phases, a total of 30 potential papers were selected and classified. Nine studies were included in the final analysis. The three most cited sociological themes in these studies were: communication, teamwork/social skills, and spirit of the game. Research suggests that UF involves patterns of interaction related to communication and the spirit of the game that encourage active lifestyles. Finally, we point out that UF is an appropriate sport to include in physical education classes in which the creation of positive relationships between students is the desired outcome. This topic should be explored further through interventional studies done in different contexts although the evidence suggests that UF offers players unique opportunities to experience a combination of physical activity and enjoyment.

“…While the loss and failure of sportswomen has not received significant attention, there are exceptions, and broader literature on loss in sport (see Ball 1976;Fischer and McClearen 2019;Gieseler 2019;Halberstam 2016;Sheppard 2019). For example, Fischer and McClearen (2019) drew on Halberstam's (2011) work on the queer art of failure to understand the barriers for trans women in sport, focusing on mixed-martial arts.…”

This article adds to a growing body of literature that engages with failure as a way of knowing and understanding the social. Through a focus on images of sportswomen's loss or failure in three Australian newspapers during the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games we analyzed affective-discourses and patterns in images and accompanying headlines, captions and stories to explore the place of loss in the narrative of mainstream sport reporting. Through this focus on loss we hoped to find points of rapture that might generate new conceptions of women in sport. What we found was that stories of loss in mainstream newspaper coverage reproduced transphobic, racist, nationalistic, ageist, and sexist discourses. We conclude calling for research that explores how athletes self-present their losses in digital platforms subjectively rather than being reported 'on'.
