Flying high! A new club in Katikati is offering youth the chance to learn a unique, fast-paced and selfrefereed sport. Katikati parents Dirk and Karen Verbeek this year formed Katikati Ultimate Frisbee after their three children – Nathan, Natalie and Nicholas – were bitten by the ultimate frisbee
bug but found there was no local after-school outlet to hone their skills. “We hope that the club will grow as people get to know and play the sport more,” said Karen, who is club president. “When people hear frisbee they think, ‘Oh anyone can chuck a frisbee’ but there’s actually a bit more to it.”
