From Wednesday 14th of August to Sunday 18th of August 2024 join us at this amazing event and experience 5 days of great jams, freestyle workshops and competition.

Below we highlighted most important goals we want to achive this year and point out ideas which makes this FPA Worlds special.

1. FRISBEE – OUTDOOR SPORT

Exactly 50 years ago, the first freestyle frisbee championships took place in Toronto. We believe that freestyle frisbee has its origins as an outdoor sport. That’s why one of the assumptions of this year’s competition is to play outdoors. We will make every effort to ensure that our plan succeeds. As a safeguard, we will have a covered gym in case of bad weather conditions that prevents the games from being held outdoors.

2. EMPOWER WOMEN 

Important point of this year’s championship is to empower all women. Female players have been demonstrating fantastic skills and form of their game for years. To balance both genders, we decided, among other things, to change the generally accepted game schedule. We want to provide women with a large audience, so the women’s division will not be played first in the finals. The name of our city Warsaw has a feminine article in Polish and its symbol is a Mermaid with a sword and shield . She is a woman who symbolically guards our capital.

3. SPREAD THE JAM

Another idea of FPAW2024 is to spread the jam during championships. On the last day of our tournament (Sunday) we plan a Frisbee Picnic. There will be workshops for beginners, open jams for residents and a whole day of playing together to promote our sport as much as possible.

4. FREESTYLE BEACH AFTERPARTY

We treat the possibility of extending players frisbee holidays in Poland as the icing on the cake and we invite you all to the SandSlash Debki beach tournament at the Polish seaside. It will take place a few days after the end of the championships in Warsaw: August 22-25, 2024. Our plan is to organize shared transport for players from Warsaw to Dębki. You can find more about this in the SandSlash tab.

WHAT IS FREESTYLE FRISBEE?

Freestyle frisbee is a game with a disc, dance, game, acrobatics, still not very popular in Poland, but known all over the world since the 1970s. It belongs to one of the 4 flying disc sports, along with Ultimate (a team sport with frisbee), Disc Dogs (throwing frisbee with dogs) and Disc Golf (frisbee golf). Freestyle Frisbee is a sport that arouses great enthusiasm and interest among people at any age.

Freestyle involves throwing, catching, and performing acrobatics tricks with flying spinning plastic disc, popularly known as frisbee. It is a borderline discipline between sports and art. Disk rotation allows to control the behavior of the disc, direct it, which gives them the opportunity to perform different movements and combining them in variations with a spectacular ending catch.

For competition players form teams of 2 or 3 people to present prepared choreography with the disc, to the selected music, lasting from 3 to 4 minutes. Judging is based on artistic and general impression of routine, teamwork, difficulty and execution in catches.
