These are games that many individuals are likely to continue playing long after they have left school and are worthy of being included in a contemporary physical education program. The purpose of the article is to present some of these popular disc activities in a logical sequence of instruction moving from learning the basics to playing a game requiring skill and tactical awareness. Also included is a rationale of why disc games should be included in today's physical education programs.
