Ultimate Frisbee in Kota Kinabalu has moved back to the place where it all started; the rugby field in Tanjung Aru next to Kota Kinabalu International Airport’s Terminal 2.

And, if you’re looking to play ultimate frisbee while on holiday in Kota Kinabalu, or if you live in KK, then your chance of catching a game of ultimate frisbee is now even better.

Until at least the 26th of the month, Sabah ultimate frisbee will be played 3 times a week as we shake things up a bit and also play twice a week at the Tanjung Aru beach.

So, if you can and want to run after a day at the office or hard day of tours and exploring KK, and can jump and catch a flying disc at the same time, then join the ultimate frisbee players of Kota Kinabalu.

Don’t be shy, we don’t bite… unless you pretend to give us beer and then quickly whip it away before we can take it.

The ultimate frisbee schedule is as follows:

• Sunday: 4pm - 6pm
  Tanjung Aru rugby field, next to T2 at KKIA
• Tuesday: 6pm - 7.30pm
  Tanjung Aru beach, in front of First Beach, Tanjung Aru
• Friday: 6pm - 7.30pm
  Tanjung Aru beach again.

Did we mention there’s no charge?  Well, it’s true, there’s no charge - you can play ultimate frisbee for free.

See you there.
