Last week, Coach Turner, my cricket coach, asked me to consider playing fricket (the name is a combination of "Frisbee" and "cricket"). He wants the most talented cricket players in school to form a new fricket team. Today, I attended my first fricket game, and I finally understand why the coach wants me to play. Fricket is similar in many ways to the game of cricket, but it is played with a flying disc rather than a ball. Team members try to throw a disc at the opposing team's wickets—which are wooden or metal rectangles placed in the ground with empty cups on top. The goal is to throw the disc between the opposing team's wickets without knocking over the cups.
After the game, Coach Turner and I brainstormed about starting a fricket team at our school. I know of at least seven of my fellow cricket players who might be interested in learning more about the game. A fricket team requires only four players, so our prospect of finding enough players is looking bright. My next step will be to take the interested students to a fricket game. I know from personal experience that they will quickly be hooked on this exciting game!
